Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

Loaded up the K10 today for the trip to oldirons place. He is the new owner. Should get it done next weekend sometime. This truck is the longest Ive owned any vehicle, so its a little weird letting her go. She is going to get some long needed tender loving care at his place though, so its a good thing. Ill be dragging home the 41 Caddy from oldirons. Not sure when Ill get a chance to do anything with it. My priority is to keep plugging away on the panel until its on the road.

I really need to remember to keep my camera with me...cell phone pics just dont cut it.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IT!!!!! KEEP IT!!! lol

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

how long is the road trip?

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

LOL...well its not that long really...Maybe an hour or so. Its long I guess because we are letting go of a family member...all be it a neglected family member =)

CG I couldn't wait any more and went out and bought a 72 4x4 Blazer.
The only problem it came in pieces and all in a box.:lol:
And it will be harder to put together than the 71.:lol:
By the way its only 25 miles to get here from the farm.
PS. Its a model.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

Really?....it sure seems longer than that considering how far out in the boonies you are. Still takes close to an hour to get there...Takes 20 minutes just to get out of Monroe with all the traffic.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

But you always come out in the dark. It takes us 40 minutes to get to the fair grounds going the back roads. Snohomish, Machis, up 92 to the Co-op then 6 miles down Burn road.
I was scared last weekend when you were putting the 71 away that you were going to have second thoughts with look on your face when I snapped this picture.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

That is a beautiful sight...those two trucks together like that!!!

I am dying to get a 4x4...just no time for it now! And then I burned the entire day taking the wife to the GARDEN SHOW!!!! All I could think about was working on my truck...LOL!

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

Sheesh, looking at that pic Im gonna change my name to OLD CG...lol.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

By the way do you have any more of that splatter paint so I can paint the ash tray?

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

No, sorry. The ash tray, glove box and cluster are pulled together by using black on them...Sheesh, dont you watch HGTV?

Dont make me back that truck off the trailer...LMAO

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

I'm sneaking over there now to put a chain and padlock on it now.
By the way thanks for getting it ready to deliver. I really do appreciate it.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

Heck wire up the lights on your flatbed for the trailer and you can come get it.

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

Heck, I thought that number on his sleeve was his age...:haha:

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
 

CG do you have any help lined up to help in moving the Caddy. Remember it has rooted its self to the floor since 1996.:lol:

Re: Ready for the long ride to oldirons place
