I got a couple of hours worth of time to work on the 67 ramp truck Monday before I left for the beach house to remove everything before the storm hit.
I replaced the drivers side exhaust with what I took off the 64 Impala. I'll have to get the passenger side some other time. The drivers side was only hanging on one stud. I'll try and get pictures during the picnic tomorrow. I also loaded my gas golf cart up for the picnic tomorrow.

Re: Loaded
Took the ramp truck on a 1.5hr trip today for our local truck club picnic. The truck ran well and I made it there and back with no problems except it's going to need a radiator and some more brake work done to it.
Here are a few pictures from the picnic. Lot of nice trucks today over 50 where there and a bunch couldn't make it because of the Hurricane Matthew.

Re: Loaded
I love that truck, too. But you really should think about getting to your destination before getting loaded (heh heh, not funny I know). I love hoppin' in and rolling out an hour and a half in a survivor. Some people, and I won't mention any names, drive all the way across the country like that!

Ha! Yea I know! I asked the wife if she wanted to go and her face said it all. She want be caught dead in the ramp! I love it just as it is. Just got to get the radiator fixed and do a complete brake fluid change out and I think it will be fine. Oh and have the seat recovered, fix the oil gauge, speedometer interior lights, oh well you get the picture. Jesse, Shameless!

Re: Loaded
You need to get a Shady Brady straw cowboy hat for when you run in that thing to add to the atmosphere. Some hints of it being an old dirt track hauler would be awesome, too. I have just the cab from one like yours that has a Hoosier windshield banner I got from Bills Bowtie in SW VA. I wish I had the whole truck
