Speed limit in AZ is 75mph and drops to 55-65mph once we get into Cali I have an all new cooling system, good compression on the crate motor and a nice exhaust now...may need to do some sound proofing before the long drive though.
Its about 520 miles to my Father in laws house in Fontana. Any pointers or should I just take the wifes minivan  ? |
Go for it! That's what they built this truck for in '68! We are just spoiled with the overdrives & creature comforts of todays cars!
