Well folks I flew in to Lewiston Idaho and picked up the 1 ton. It is beautiful! Did 50 mph for 3 days straight with out so much as a scary noise. She is a healthy old girl. Here are a few pictures of the truck from out on the road. The link below will access all the pictures I took if you want more.

Re: 59 1 ton- 1700 mile road trip
Still in Idaho and headed South.
![]() The day ends in Boise in a really nasty Hotel. If I wasn't so tired I would have gone on to the next place. ![]() Day 2 I got a full nights sleep and am ready to make up the lost time from yesterday. It is amazing what a shower and some sleep will do for you. ![]() ![]()

Re: 59 1 ton- 1700 mile road trip
I slept in the truck here in Beaver Utah, I drove until 0500 so I figured a hotel would be kind of a waste. I knew that if I slept in the truck I would wake up earlier. I only was able to sleep 3 and a half hours before I woke up freezing!

Re: 59 1 ton- 1700 mile road trip
Hey Jebb, Thanks for taking the pic's on your road trip and sharing them with use. It looks like you had a good trip. I really like the truck, she looks solid. Are you still going to use her as a parts truck?

Re: 59 1 ton- 1700 mile road trip
Thanks again all
![]() Cal, she is very solid (wavey however) and a great runner ! I am still going to use the cab and everything that bolts to it. The good news is that my Dad has located a Fleet Opion Grille he is going to use that with the Fleet cab and bolt them to the 1 ton! From what research I have done the Fleet Options were available in a 1 ton. It is a low mile rig and it would be a shame to part it out. My Dad is going to do it up right.
