Re: finally got to drive my 70 today...

looks like both you and the truck are coming along good.
i know what its like to be in a bad accident, in 02 i was hit by a boat while tubing behind a jetski, the man who hit me was drunk.
good luck on continuing your recovery, and that truck looks damn good

Re: finally got to drive my 70 today...

As many have already said, Glad to see you back on the road...Driving A Classic, Nice! And sweet video.

Mine should be ready to drive for Christmas. It's been 2 years since we got the truck and we have not driven it yet. So I can't wait. I'll be sure to do a video.
