Eight day turn-around from Ark.-Gulf coast/southern Florida-Regina/Winnepeg-back to Ark. $.04 cents a mile. Big bucks back then.
(Two drivers, and run 24/7, except for fuel, food, and showers)
Thanks for your hospitality.

Good Grief, You ran by the museum we volunteer at, and where the other V12 GMC 1Ton is that I donated at Boise City, Ok. Last year, they built a new by-pass around Boise City on 287. The traffic was about to shake their old County court house down as you guys went around it on the town square.

Also, Thanks, Vernski. I plan to hang around until my junk is banned. This is a great place for us ol" Geezers to hang out, spin yarns, and tell lies.
"I used to have an old '51 Ford that would-----Oh well, you wouldn't believe me anyway". (grin)

In your quote, "16 and little money".
If that means your 16yo, and money is tight. Keep plugging, just think of all the stuff your learning on your truck. Money management, personal priorities, patience, determination to reach a goal, independant thinking, and hard work.

Some stuff can't be learned from books, but what your learning in the "school of hard knocks" lasts a life time.
Enjoy your journey with the ol' Blazer.

Thanks! my truck has taught me a ton, not just about mechanics, but staying determined to get the end result i want, and managing my money. but most of all this has helped me choose my career path, i have been working at a shop apprenticing as a mechanic for the past 8 months. im planning to have my first year hours before i graduate high school.

Good for you!! With a balanced education between the books and hands on you'll do well. Do your best, keep you eye on your goals. You'll be proud of the effort you made someday.
The best to you,
