a long time coming
6 years ago, I found this truck in Uncle Henry's while on a fishing trip near Jackman ME. first picture is the day I hauled it back to my farm in MA. fast forward to today, took a cruise up into Rocky Mountain National Park. 6 years, one major move, blood sweat tears, and untold treasure. she drives like a dream.

I think this one might have ended up in the crusher......if I hadn't gone fishing! I'd consider it one of my luckier fishing trips. Paid $500 for the truck. Tightly held secret how much more I put in it.....I'll take that to my grave. Sooner rather than later if my wife finds out! Last edited by 63burban4x4; 06-20-2014 at 08:12 AM. |

Re: a long time coming
Ed, I'm glad you finally got your rig out of Kansas. It's been a long haul!
Is it as much fun to drive as we expect? Another 3 months for mine... Congrats buddy!
