72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Made it from Charlotte to Ashville, about 170 miles. This morning I noticed the center support bushing on driveline is worn out. Dealing with that now. Hopefully we can find a new one and be on the road later today. The truck drove strong, but it has 124k miles on it and I'm guessing it has been a while since it has driven any long distance. We will have to work out the quirks.

Had some time to walk around Asheville. Looks like a very touristy town. Seems a bit like where we are from, kind of a cross between Sonoma and Berkley

Local shops

Not many towns in in America where you can go to your local "Foot Sanctuary "
Maybe I will if I keep this walking up😀

Sorry for the multiple posts with single pictures, I'm still trying to figure out how to put multiple pictures in the post from my iPhone

What a cool trip you are taking and I'm sure it will be epic. Stop by the Builtmore house in Ashville, the largest house in the U.S.

My wife and I like to take the 5th wheel RV on trips and very seldom will we pass up road-side historical markers. Learn a lot about this great land that way.

Awesome trip enjoy the road with your son

I took my Daughter on a road trip from Chicago to Santa Monica on RT 66 and back to Chicago on my Harley in 2001, whenever we get together we still talk about that trip.

I totally get it. One year I took my daughter to Disneyland. We didn't go on one ride. For two days all we did is look for every machine that smashed a Penney into a different picture. Probably my most memorable trip with her😄😄😄😄

Yeah, we ummm, kind of refer to Asheville as "soft" 'round here...

**Chevyland** · 09-08-2016, 12:31 PM

Thanks for all the replies

Does everyone agree I should replace the u-joints while I'm at it LOL

Check the rear axle grease while under it.Something that never seems to get any attention.
If your headed thru south,Mississippi(I-10),I can help if needed.
Great memories for you and your son!
Mike.
