My dad blew out the rear end in his 80 3/4 ton while on vacation yesterday ( for the second time I might add. I dont like 14 bolt rear ends! ) so off I am to save the day in the 68. Starting at 12 noon I had to go from Vashon Island to the junkyard in Kitsap county , find a rear end, get it loaded up and make the 500 plus mile round trip from Port orchard washington to Lake Chelan and back before bedtime so I could go to work in the morning. Anyone who knows the topography and the traffic of Western Washington will be impressed. Made the return route in under 3 1/2 hours. I will state for the record though. 100 mph in a 68 is a bit on the uncomfortable side.
