Hi everybody,
Went out to Mulvane Kansas on March 1 and picked up my truck, a 1958 Chevy 6400. Got my first look at it and was a tad bit disapointed. But as I said in a previous post it was to be fit to make a 500 mile trip back home to southeast Missouri. So as not to create unbearable suspence..................it did make it!
At one point I was stopped along side a rode trying to figger out which way to go and a policeman pulled up behind me. Oh oh I says to meself, this may be trouble! The Cop asked if I was overheated. I said no and explained the situaion. He looked at me and he looked at the truck then he looked back at me and back at the truck again. It was written all over his face what he was thinking. He was thinking "I ain't getting involved with this! This would be waaaaay too much paperwork!" So he wished me luck and sent me on my way. Phew!!!
Anyway the whole trip was actually pretty uneventful. But I have to be honest, the combination of me being by myself, not having alot of faith in the work done on the truck, a completely rotten exhaust system and me not have driven a truck like this for about 30 years made me pretty nervous and it wasn't just a plesant ride in the country. But on the up side I figger it it will make it 500 miles or so that pretty good. Since then I've had an exhaust put on it and the motor (a 327 I think) sounds good. Sorry for the delay in getting this little story to you all but things have been pretty busy. And boy, do I have questions!!!
I am going to try and put a link to some pictures of the truck here but I am not sure I understand all I know about doing that.
