Iconic American road trip - Aussie Style

We sold this 1952 Chevy to a great couple from Australia, they flew over, picked up the truck here in Boise then set out on a 6000 mile trip back and forth across the country. From Boise they headed east to visit with friends in Michigan, then on to route 66 back to California. Here is a link to their Google map route.

The truck is now on it's way to Australia, where it will be put into service towing their drag race VW.

Great people, great trip around the US.

Re: Iconic American road trip - Aussie Style

Great testament to your build ability that they were able to do that. Even better is that it is from Boise, lots of talented folks around here...

Great looking truck and what appears to be a great road trip.
