Re: Road trip!!

Made it to Texas,trouble free! Truck gets about 14 mpg at 65mph.Less at faster speeds which it loves to run,lmao. Pretty good for an old beat up farm truck I rescued!

Re: Road trip!!

Thanks for sharing your trip and pictures with us. Great to hear that everything went well. I remember reading this thread before you went and was hoping it would work out. I plan on someday using my truck as a daily driver and be able to cruise it everywhere and for long road trips.
