day trip in my 71
Took a trip to NC to see my parents yesterday.
Put $75.50 worth of gas in it and only got 3/4 of tank of gas. Drove up there and back on less than a 1/2 tank running the ac the whole way. Truck did great. Spent the afternoon with my folks just talking.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

I drive just about everywhere I go shoeless! I took some more of the truck going up I-85 but it was just traffic so I only posted this one.
