i just went to pick up my old truck darlenne this last week end. im movin to baton rouge and it was the last thing i had out in georgia. did an oil change and gave her a good once over then hopped on the road. i was just toolin along down the road makin pretty decent time, avg 60 ish mph, when all the sudden i hear this horendous screeching or metal and my trucks jumps up in the air.

i had been on the road all of maybe 2 minutes before a 62 chevy c20 pulls up to see if i was ok. im glad i was drivin a 66 for sure. may not have stopped if it was a honda. lol. either way they were great dudes. took me all over the place tryin to get my truck of the side of the interstate. after a sketchy trailer, a broken come along, 1 crazy intense rain storm, and a stuck tow truck my old girl is in a safe place waiting for me to get back to her.

gotta love the community that these old trucks make.

oh and one more thing. any body know where i can find a real cheap rear end around tallahassee florida?

well i couldnt take anything apart yet so i caint be sure just yet. but the universal joints at the pumkin are destroyed. drive shaft is just hangin out on the ground. the pumkin itself looks as though it twisted the axle housin. and for some reason i caint get the shifter out of 3rd. i didnt really have to much time to get into it because we spent about 6 and a half hours trying to get it of the interstate and since im in the navy i had to just leave it there till next week end. gotta show up for work.

either way i bet from out side of the truck it looked something like this
