Put 'er to work(terrible photos, be better later)

This truck spent 24 years sitting, in 2014 I revived it imagining putting it to work hauling potential car-projects around: a car hauler.

I'll have more*much better) photos added in the next couple days, but here's a start. She ran 140 miles round trip today to do this, and started missing really bad as we arrived, and continued to do so the entire way back. This is not a surprise since it is still running the plugs/points/cap I found it witting with. It also was detonating pretty bad. But I pushed her to do 50-55 the entire way back fully loaded(with my new gears that's 2200-2500 RPM)

After replacing every brake part, the rears still slowly lock up on long drives......I am PISSED, and it is very troublesome.......need to investigate.

Got a new motor lined up for it, and brake work(again).

On the way there(empty) she got 10.5 MPG driving a constant 55-60mph



Oh, and the little Greeny Machiny is a '71
