The joys of old vehicles...

The old boy got a lift back home today.... The up's and down's of owning and driving old cars / trucks / bikes. Ok the high points far out-weigh the low points, but right now is a low point. I bought this truck (my workhorse) 5 years ago out of a local barn, with 41,000 orig. miles. The truck had been sitting in this barn unmoved for 19 years. I has been a trustworthy driver, but now it sits with two stuck valves. So it's rebuild time, unless I can find a good runner. If anyone knows of a 292 y-block runner, let me know....
Wow look at the rays, sort of like a crucifixion image....

  1. i can relate! AAA offers a "rv plus" subscription. $149/yr gets you 5 flatbed tows (up to 300miles each!) annually for an rv/truck/car/motorbike + huge discounts on hotel stays~
