got a lot of waves and touts from folks on the interstate. there is a local chapter of the ATHS starting up and they had a show this weekend. so i left the truck on the trailer and went saturday. had a great time and meet a lot of good folks. now to get to work on the ole girl.
by the way, i am the round fellow in the pictures doing all the work...

to answer some of the ??,s- i plan to make a road tractor. it pulled nice and easy behind my daully which is 4/wheel drive and that may be why it looks a little nose high. my truck does good on gas { if you are exxon } it got 10 going and 8 coming back. the coe was located in a mountainous area, so i had lots of up and down the hill driving. it was only around 200 miles round trip, which makes this find even sweeter.
i will adds some interior shots that show some personal touchs from the past in a day or two. got her off the trailer tonight and now to get her started and get the brakes up.
thanks again doug
