Hi Steve, ya the 50mph is a bit of a drag cuz I like to go fast as well but that aint what this truck is about. As Bill mentioned above, mine is a 3/4 with a much different purpose. Its a farm truck with a granny gear. I guess my ignorance when buying it. But I love the old thing. I really wanted a shorty. They are very hard to find up here at a decent price. When I saw this one and how solid it was and ran as well I thought I better grab it. But it is a joy to putt around with. Just looking at your pics I would say grab it. Looks fantastic.
