You sure did. Right along the Mighty Mississippi. I've only been there at night in November, so had the place to ourselves.
The truck is one of those whatcha gonna do conundrums. It's a true survivor but the original owner made it his before preserving it so well. It's get those things off of there and have non-original paint or live with them. I wonder how well a scanner can match the shade of green and sheen.
That first 67-72 I bought in '73 (Highlander) was like new, being only a year old. Hardly a survivor yet, but yet to have it's first scratch in the bed... or anywhere. First thing I did was go to the hubcap guy and trade the wheelcovers for '55 Chevy car hubcaps and put wide steelies on it. Not a permanent change and neither were the headers and dual exhaust I installed. If I hadn't been t-boned in it, which killed it, I had a Muncie M21 I was planning to swap in. And I didn't get a chance to have a tonneau cover made for it, as planned. back then you know what that meant, a zillion tiny wholes drilled for snaps along the bedside and tailgate. Damn people back then doing whatever they wanted with no regard for future collectors 50 years in the future!
