You don't even know

I the story of my trip home is what woulda made this thread

I'll type it again tomorrow, so you can see what I went though to get this thing

Bu the basic gist of the story is the fact that I drove this thing in a MONSOON for 2 hours, with no headlights or wipers going about 60-65 mph most of the way

Those add-on things must be so aerodynamic that you didn’t need the wipers!

Cleaning & getting the "bugs" worked out are top of the list
Removing the accessories is gonna wait a while

Spray-Bomb · 08-02-2007, 01:12 AM

Ok, here is the story

My dad & I were going to look at a 67 bug that I have been trying to buy for the past few years, & on the way we spot a 67 GMC on the side of the road & it's for sale

So we decided that we'd stop & look at it on the way back, so we come back to look at it & it looks like a pretty good ol truck
So I called the guy up & asked him a little about it & how much he was try'n to get out of it & he offers to come let us hear it run as he is only 10 min. away
So he comes & fires it off, it sounds good, doesn't smoke...

So my dad & I have a system we use to haggle peeps down, so we put that into swing & we come to an agreeable price

So about that time we realize that we can't tow it home, because our trailer is broke at the moment

So I check the brakes to see if I think I can drive it home (last driven in 04) The pedal goes thump, down to the floor... aren't they all

So he says hmmm, that thing had pedal just the other day so he gives us some brake fluid & we bleed the brakes some, so it has a LITTLE bit of pedal

I'm like "Welp it's got E-brake if nothing else" So we go to get some gas in a gas can, so we can have enough fuel to get to the station
We get back & put the gas in, head out to the gas station, get fuel & add some air to the tires

SO off we go, but shortly after getting back on the road it starts to rain

Anywho, after a while it starts to REALLY rain like cows (completely ship cats & dogs and went to cows) By the way, I have no wiper or headlights

So I wind up driving in a MONSOON for about 2 hours to get home, I thing we managed about 60-65 mph on the way home (couldn't see Sh_t !)
But I made it home & thats what counts, I think my original story might have been a little better but hay this one works

*ksjh1316* · 08-01-2007, 11:09 PM

My eyes are bleeding even in the dark that yellow is bright. But it looks like a hell of a solid truck good find. I would love to see the story posted most truck finds are good ones.

smirch9 · 08-01-2007, 11:09 PM

There’s an area in Dallas referred as Deep Ellum (southern accent) (it’s really Elm street).
I think we should call the truck Deep Ellum!

For a sec I thought it was the "SS" school bus version.

(Yeah yeah I know, no SS line for trucks in 1967).

It’s a short bus for sure!

krue · 08-02-2007, 02:29 AM

BTDT, sucks doesn't it. I've driven with a headlight plugged into the cig lighter and a string tied to the wipers so me and my buddy could give the windshield a swipe every now and then, but that's back when I was your age.

I think your truck was on the cover of JC Whitney a few years back....
