Re: 1969 Short Wide

I forgot to post some pics. My ole truck took me to work for the first time last week. I had a crowd around at one point. Lot of positive comments. The truck is a blast to drive.

I also filled up with gas again with no issues, just put the nozzle on the first click and fill er up. Happy that turned out good. It may be an issue when I take the long haul, with some of those big nozzles other states have. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

It's really cool to see the truck outside of the shop instead of being in it.

Truck is looking really good in the pictures. Have you been able to check and see what kind of mileage you are getting with the new setup?

Re: 1969 Short Wide

My wife and I drove ole red to the city the other day. Here is some pictures I shot while I was there.

We stopped for lunch and parked next to this old classic Suburban.





I thought this was a cool pic with the Devon tower in the background:
