Re: Project "49 No Buck$"

Here's a shot cruising on the road trip (notice speedo) waiting for the trucks to get out of the way and another one at a rest stop by Mt. Shasta Was a fun road trip that I'm sure I'll do again! I even got pulled over by the MAN (a CHP) coming off the mountain into Redding! He said he pulled me over because it seemed a bit "loud" as he was following me. I think he just wanted to check it it out because he asked "car guy" questions and was flipping out on the interior! He told me to be careful (no ticket OR warning!) and I took off and came home with no problems! Fun 2500 mile trip...

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"

I've gotten stopped in my 64 Chevelle a couple of times because the cop was bored or interested in the car too.

I used to run that route almost twice a week pulling 48' flatbeds. I thought I would never want to see it again. but now I am thinking about taking my wife to see Mt. Shasta

Yeah right, loud, with the semi jake brakes coming down from Shasta, he heard your truck over it.

I got stopped between Ontario and LaGrande Or for the same thing, I asked "who complained, jack rabbits"? Had the receipt in the glove box for the new mufflers from a week before. Then he gets down on his hands and knees in front of me, gun sticking up in the air and looks to see. If I had been a bad guy... poor choices by a trained professional.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"

Looking good! What did you end up running for coil springs in the front? Did you run the stock ones or are they dropped?
