Good to be driving it again

[O'l Buck]

So my Dodge laid down on me on the way home from the last ATV trip, clutch is shattered again, going to take $1000 or more to put a clutch in it that will handle the motor nowdays, so it will take awhile to put the cash together for that project. My wife had a fit and said "Well I guess we're done camping for the year then!" I have a 36' triple axle 5th wheel Carriage from the 90's and it's a heavy old brute, so I told there there wasn't any way we were going to pull it with the suburban, so I guess we were done. So I went out and put a battery in my 67 and it fired right up after sitting since the last snow storm (it's my plow truck in the winter).

I pulled the plow off and welded a gooseneck plate under the flatbed, put a brake control on it and trailer wiring, fixed the brakes and got both doors and windows working along with the headlights, turn signals, wipers and defrosters, put a good used set of shocks on the front and we are ready to go back to the lake. I drove it to the highway and back and laid a nice set of black marks across the road with it. Came home from work the next day and they were all but gone. I told my Dad the tires must be hard as wood and he said he thought he put them on it in 1984 so I'm going to put a set of street radials on it to pull the camper

I love this old truck and always have every since I was a little kid, now I just gotta figure out a good way to put speakers in it without cutting it up

You can always count on an old Chevy to pull you through your Dodge repairs.

[O'l Buck]

yup, not the first time it's taken the place of a much newer pickup.

There's a vender selling speaker boxes but they only work if you have your in cab tank out

got any pics of it?

[Boog]

Yeah, hook it up. Lets have a look.
The newer trucks are real nice with all the bells n whistles but a good ol basic truck can often save the day.
