I just had a JOYGASIM!!!

I got the truck legal today, insurance, tags, asscesment!

I then fixed the wires in the back so all of the rear lights work. and i hooked up the radio that came with the truck that i tought didn't work. Lord, knows you've got to have tunes before you can go on your maiden voyage.
and i put a new cord in the spedocable so now i can tell how fast i'm goin.

anyways,
i took it out and got it up to 35 then 45 then 50 and i took it all the way to 60!! I bout peed my paints. I felt like school girl on prom nite!! anyways figured i'd tell you guys about it. 1 long year and she finaly moves under her own power.

thanks sswj

Congrats! We just got to driving our '69 around, too - but it's FAR from legal at this point.

That will be another big day.

Enjoy your ride...SSOW
