Another weekend and still no time to get the truck out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've owned this thing for 5 months now and have put on about 50 miles. The stars just dont line up for me to get this truck out and blow the cobb webs off of it. It is doing the same thing it was with the original owner, sitting in the garage. When I have time it is raining and I don't like to get out and cruise in the rain. When it is nice out we have plans. Next weekend is shaping up the same way. I think I may take a day off this week and wash and wax it and take it for a nice long drive.

I know what you mean, it is hard to find time to work on or drive our old trucks. My son and I built a '67 swb stepper for me to drive, but it turned out so nice I don't drive it as much as I thought I would. We were building it for a nice driver, but I think we may have gone past that goal some.

Instead I drive the stock '75 C-30 dually I bought a month or so ago more.
