Today my truck and I had a great bonding session, and I am now firmly convinced that this is the best pickup ever. I took the old girl out into the mountains today to pick up two chords of firewood. My truck is a shortbox so I needed to tow a trailer to hold it all. I drove the 50 miles to the lumberjack's house with the trailer without a single problem. We loaded the truck up and I headed for home. It started to snow just as I got to the highway, visibiity dropped to 50 yards or so. The roads were wet but clear. That old truck hauled the load without a single problem all the way home. I have never taken an extended drive while towing in that truck before and it performed flawlwessly. The 235 performed as well as could be expected, I lost speed on hills, but it held a solid 55 everywhere else. Something about that old truck makes me smile, it just feels good to drive something different from the norm. It feels better to see people do a double take when you go by with a full load and a trailer. Anyway, I think that I have fallen completely in love with my truck now. I am convinced that it can do almost anything. I have all of you to thank for this. Your advice and encouragement has kept this old truck on the road and still working, almost 50 years after it was born. Thanks, I couldn't have done it without you all.
