The old gal isn't very fast or agile but is very dependable. I drive it everywhere I go including the whole 3 miles to work. It was originally a California truck, still have the black cali license plate. The previous owner said to hang onto it, not sure for what reason but I still have it. These old trucks are a joy to drive and it is actually used like a truck. I haul wood, furniture or whatever in it. I let my brother drive it one day and he's wanting to get an old truck now.

A truck sure doesn't need to be new to be useful!

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 | My plates are the black ones and a little bent but there is a fellow not far from me who does restoring on licence plates. When I get close to driveable I will have him restore them for me.

They are alot of fun & in some cases infectious(in a good way)!

I'm currently in the process of installing new bed boards and putting zero rust on the frame. And I just scored some correct hub caps that I have been repainting. I will post some new pics when I am finished.
