Finally made it to Albuquerque!!!
Pulled in last night. 1325 miles! Old blue did pretty well pulling the enclosed trailer (2800lbs). Temperature stayed below 190 most of the trip. It creeped up to 200 once climbing the last grade into ABQ, but other than that no major problems. Can't wait to meet some new folks and I've already spotted some nice old sheetmetal,

Re: Finally made it to Alubquerque!!!
Good looking truck Rob. Glad you made it safely. You should have scheduled a stop in my area. I'd have given you a deal on my blower and you could have saved on shipping. Let me know next time you are going back the other way.

Re: Finally made it to Alubquerque!!!
I was there for one day a few years back for my job. I couldn't get over all the junkyards on one highway in town (don't know where anymore). There was vehicles strung all over outside the fences right up to the edge of the highway. Stuff sitting in yards everywhere too

Re: Finally made it to Albuquerque!!!
Glad you made it unscathed Rob.
So I forgot, how long is the hitch in NM? 2Yrs? You going to remember what you did to the burb and mule by then?

Re: Finally made it to Albuquerque!!!
Need to do a minor welding project on the front of the 48 Chassis. Anyone know of a good shop or have some space in theirs?

Re: Finally made it to Albuquerque!!!

Re: Finally made it to Albuquerque!!!
Thanks Bill, I'm sure I'll figure it out. It's not critical, just something I wanted to do before I left PCola but ran out of time.
