She said, "You used to fix up old trucks when we first got together. Could we use one of those?" I thought about it for about 3miliseconds and told her we could if we could find the right running gears we certainly could.
I started searching on the 'net, and two days later we happen to be driving to her brothers house and she points and says, "Isn't that an old truck like the one you used to have? Could we use one of those?" Sure enough I had driven right by the C20 in a driveway with the 4-sale sign in the side window.
We stopped and looked at it, it was extremly spotless for a 40 year old truck here in New Hampshire. Never been touched, (except with touch up paint) ready to drive home and restore. It is set up to haul a lot more than I will ever haul with it.
We aint restored it yet, I put a rear trailing arm in it and she wants to take it out some place every weekend! Can't get it off the road long enough to tear down.
Guess it will happen this winter. Guess ill keep em' both!
