Took the truck for a drive today!!

Not a good picture or anything, but the last time I drove the truck I was 62 lbs. heavier. It's amazing how much play there was in the seatbelt!

I'm glad the snow is almost gone, I can't wait to start driving her again, even if she is a turd!!

Can't beat a nice little ride in one of our trucks. Looks like you have some nice open highway around there too!

Re: Took the truck for a drive today!!

Yeah, I stretched her legs a little, ran about 75 mph for several miles, just to blow out the cobwebs She really loves the cold weather, I need to get the carb tuned so it runs this well when it's hot out too....

Re: Took the truck for a drive today!!

No more pictures, driving 75 down country roads while trying to snap pics in a manual steer truck isn't exactly fun..... It's supposed to be decent again tomorrow, if it is, I'll take her out again and get more pics!

Re: Took the truck for a drive today!!

LOL, took the pic with my work phone, if I dropped it that would not be good! I have an older camera that takes decent vids and sits nicely on the dash...I need to fire it back up!

My truck is a TH350, unfortunately.

Way to go! You've had a rough winter out there. I bet you can't wait for things to thaw out a little.
