*Left Jackson @ 1pm Thursday, Arrived today @ 10am (1850 Miles) :crazy:

A big thanks to Shawn for a great rig and a honest deal, everything is
as described, no surprises. (Keep on the lookout for a big parts thread
from him, still some good stuff) A shout out to Kent (Prairewolf) after
we left Shawn's bumped into us at a gas station. A big shout out to
my buddy Mike who helped me drive the trip, & to Ron (Ron 586) on
the nice trailer I borrowed which pulled like a dream, we averaged in
the 69-79 mph range the whole trip (Except Iowa cause roads suck)

More pic's later, I can't wait to unpack everything, the Jimmy will be
on the trailer until the BBQ this Saturday, I can't get it off :lol: I have
not got a Air compressor to air it up so somebody bring a small one.

Only issue we had the entire trip is the rear seal on the tranny of my
F-150 is leaking now, gee I wonder why :hm: but I'll get that fixed soon.

Here's just a few pic's to get ya going, more on this coming weekend.
(The H on the hood was in my pocket for safe keeping, I do have it)

You could have made it easier on ya and stored it here for a couple of years...lol. You know i would take care of it :) Glad you had a good trip bud and it is nice you have it there for the cookout also

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Another nice one for your collection.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Another example of living up to my name (Mr Round Tuit). I rebuilt that trailer in 2001 with extra cross members, dove tailed it, and a steel floor. I swore that it would not leave the shop until it was painted. I had to take my D17 AC and box blade to my sons to spread a load of gravel. It has never been back inside the shop. I'm going to paint that trailer, as soon as I can get a round tuit.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Alright! I kind of like the roof rack on there! Makes it look like it should have some plaid seat covers and an 8 track tucked in there somewhere.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Nice ride! I actually dig the rack on the roof! Gives it a "surf wagon" look.

No go drive it and enjoy it!

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

:lol: Sorry guys, I think that top is headed for GQ, and my smooth top to the 2wd :hm:

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Very nice, will this one be a DD?

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Looks good LUV, glad you made it back OK.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

At least a Friday driver for sure, after I finish up a few things ;)

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Glad to hear you made it back OK. Put some hours into that thing and get it on the road again. Keep me posted on your progress.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

sweet truck, I ya want to get rid of that old front trim let me know...

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

I'll be there about noon to 1:00 pm Friday if all goes right. I will have my pancake style compressor for the race car. I will have a little bigger rig that contractors use, borrowed from my neighbor to run air tools. Just let me know what else we might need.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Nice.:D

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

sweet rig.... nice trailer too, glad you got back in one piece..
lucky gas prices have gone down. or the plastic card might have melted :lol:

WAKE UP :metal:

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Another one to your stable, how did you get the wifey to go for that? Did you sell GQ?

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Nope, I sold the other 2wd to be able to get this one ;)

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Dang I know you didnt sell the other one straight up to buy this one. You came up with more money for this one didnt you?

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's a secret, I'd tell ya but I'd have to kill ya :hm:

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Nice Craig, glad you finally found the 'right' 2wd.
The previous owner did you right.:bling:

Are the fenders on the trailer really as close to the tires as they appear to be?

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Glad to see you get another one - that is a sweet K5. Good to see it stay in the 67-72 board member family.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Yep the fenders are to close. Me and tire man miscommunicated and I ended up with 235 instead of 205. I have another set of wheels with the right size tire and will trade them later. I have a brand new set of diamond plate fenders for it to replace the beer can thick one's on it now, just got to get a round tuit. Ron

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

Yeh, what he said, but the tires never rubbed once ;)

As for "the right" 2wd, maybe it is, but it sure gave me
a large head start over where I was w/ the other one.

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

:cong: LUV!
There is something about buying a rig that is (almost) ready to roll that puts a little more stride in your step. :phat:

Re: WOW, I'm tired, someone wake me up
 

I like the 68 front clip on there. I want to do that to my K5.
Nice.
