Re: everybody post a pic of your truck.

I signed up on this site in 2008 and never saw this thread. I'll post a few. Old Rocinante and I have many stories together. I bought her as a winter beater in 1997 but it was too reliable to part with so I kept it. I tried to have it restored in 2000 but the shop I took it to took 2 years to make it worse so I took it back and did what I could with it. The frame broke in '08 so I got a new one off a '69 and now it has drum brakes all around. It originally had a 292, I put in a small block and ran it until this year but I always had trouble pulling heavy trailers on long trips, like when the army moves me so this year I put the old 292 back in it with some perks. I had it painted in 2011 but it was rushed and now it is coming off badly. Someday I'll get the restoration done I've been trying for years to do. I think it deserves it after the 300,000 miles it's given me so far.
