Farewell Ya'll!
Hey guys, as of yesterday I'm no longer the owner of my 68'. It's all part of a master plan that involves moving my family to Italy. I considered taking the truck but realized it would be very difficult to make Italian street legal. Instead, I replaced it with something that I feel will be more Euro friendly.
I am grateful the forum and it's members for providing me the knowledge to build such a beautiful truck. Over the years I tried to pay it forward by sharing the knowledge I gained from you all. I will continue to do so because I will always be a truck guy at heart. In June I will make the move to Italy. If anyone is ever in the Le Marche region, please look me up ![]() I wish you all the best! -Joseph Here are the last photos of my truck along with her replacement. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Farewell Ya'll!
Both are nice vehicles.
I am not sure why this is good bye, you have been here long enough to know that this place isn't only about trucks. ![]()

Re: Farewell Ya'll!
I hope your move is a good one. I've spent some time in Italy when I was living in Vienna, Austria. If you get the chance, head out to Malta. Very beautiful place to visit. Keep in touch, let us know how things are going.

Re: Farewell Ya'll!
Just seems odd that a Cobra is easier to make street legal than a dang pickup,doesn't it? Hey,it's easier on their roads anyway. The '68 would be like driving a Mack over there,I'm thinking. Don't be a stranger and send a picture every time you spot a Chevy truck. Enjoy Italy!!

Re: Farewell Ya'll!
I'm already registered with the truck so I might as well attend. I think I can change the class once I arrive.

Re: Farewell Ya'll!
Well I'm sure italy has internet, so you can re-join the multitude of folks that are currently missing their truck and still hang out with us rude americans. Luckily, you do have quite a nice piece of machinery to ease the pain... Molto bene plan. Bonjourno! And good luck - sounds like a blast.
