The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Road Trip - 5 Years In The Making

Did a road trip in the ole orange crate today now that its pretty much road worthy. First time its been out on the open road for about 5 years. Time flies when your having fun.

We took our GPS to confirm the speedometer is accurate, which it was to my surprise. I would have figured the huge rear tires would have thrown it off a bit. All in all a good first outing.

Gearing and tires produce 2000 RPM at 50 MPH in 4th gear. Which is pretty much what I had figured.

Nice truck! I just got my 1962 C10 in pretty much driving condition, but I know how you feel. I have a Harley Davidson powered roadster I've been working on for 5 years. I really can't wait to get it on the road. Enjoy driving the truck!

Very nice. I'm jealous.

I have watched your progress and man, am I IMPRESSED! Great job!

What did your seats come out of? I must have missed that. You did

an AMAZING job on the Camero dash!

Best wishes,

Les

And the Camaro dash... it's a big part of the reason it took me 5 years to get the truck road worthy again, well that and widening the bed 4 inches, and the rear gas tank, and...

That is one nice looking truck. I'll have to figure out how to post some pics of mine, love them short stepsides. Apache c-10.

I remember the first trip when I got my 63 on the road, kinda hard to forget! Congratulations! Be sure to go over to the Stovebolt Driving Report and brag!

Cheers!
