My 1959 GMC DF 860 cannonball arrived last month from Illinois. I have been working on it for the past 6 weeks getting it registered, servicing engine and drivetrain, waxing, etc. It was in excellent shape but had sat for 3 years. Then the fun began and I removed the 5th wheel and added a short flatbed. Found some missing emblems an ebay and a fan for the interior. Fixed a few leaks. Lowered the rear fenders and shortened the mudflaps. It runs excellent and have gotten pretty good at shifting. Seems easier to not use the clutch. I am going to haul hay on it for our horses. My wife has yet to ride in it. She opened the door and said" I thought it would be like the trucks in Trick my truck " Man, no appreciation for history. Her friends are liking it and since I put the flatbed on it it seems to have shrunk in size so she will accompany me to our big car show up here in Tehachapi in August. I have put 300 m iles on it and really like it. I have been looking for one off and on for a few years but a medical scare in April finally pushed me to do it while you can. This group looks to be a lot of fun. Take care and stop by if in Tehachapi for a ride, Tom www.thepetposter.com/cannon.html
