Got the vintage (style) cooler

Got it washed and waxed. Rain-X on the glass. Tool bag packed (won't need it

). Multi-port charger thingy with a usb charger included, cause nobody goes anywhere without a phone anymore. Maps in the glove box, with fuses, flashlight, owners manual (might have to look something up), up to date insurance card, bug spray, etc. Couple of lawn chairs in back.

Looks like the weather will mostly cooperate, except for some flooding trouble along the Mississippi.

It'll be my sons first chance to drive my truck. He's 17 now and I think he's excited to spend some road time with me. And if you have or had teenagers, you know what I'm talking about.

Leaving in the morning. May even post some pics from the road. While I'm driving, and texting and eating a big sloppy burger.

Bomp · 06-04-2013, 10:40 PM

Have fun man..
When I was in high school I traveled to Minnesota with my dad to get his '57 convert which we hauled back using a towbar.
Back of the truck loaded to the hilt with car parts as the '57 filled to the brim.
On the way back I had to sleep on the floor of his truck while he slept on the seat. His '69 pickup.
He still to this day doesn't spend money on a motel.
I have not traveled with him since but was glad I went on that ONE trip with him. memories.

Have Fun Man.

Low Elco · 06-04-2013, 11:24 PM

Sounds like a great trip. Have fun and enjoy the time away.

Yesterday we drove into St Louis and went up into the arch. Had lunch down town and then hit the freeway and made it to my friends place. There are some friendships that stand the test of time and this is one of them. We have not seen each other in about 19 years but we could start our conversation as if it had only been a few days.

We got the tour and went to the garage where Damon stores his 79 camaro he bought after boot camp in 1986. He hadn't fired it up in about 7 months but eventually the carb bowls filled with gas and it started. We built that small block 400 together back in 89 or 90 and it sounded great. But we won't be getting to cruise together cause 1 of his tires blew up during the winter and he didn't know it til then. Kinda sad about that.

As for my truck, it was awesome. The only problem we had was a leaky windshield when it rained and the wipers chatter pretty bad. It ran and drove great. First tank of gas only got 12.7 mpg. I was disappointed and a bit surprised. The next tank came out at 18.5 mpg. Not disappointed and very surprised. Next gas stop was only 90 miles but was 15.5 mpg which is right where I was hoping. I think it just took a while for the O2 senser to get the self tuning adjusted but it has been purring along as good as it ever has.

Been a great trip so far. Gonna do some shooting later. Damon is a gun nut. And ride some atv and dirt bike. Maybe go back into St Louis and explore some more. Take the brewery tour. Have to see what Donovan wants to do.

We got home last night after a 12 hour marathon drive. We were both looking forward to sleeping in our own beds. The truck ran great, but not flawlessly. It was an outstanding way to do a shakedown cruise. No big problems, never took a tool out of the bag. It has a shake in the front suspension which has never been rebuilt. I had planned to do that this coming winter. It comes and goes, usually around 45-55, sometimes again around 65. Nothing some new bushings and rod ends won't cure. It used some oil, some was leaked, some probably burnt, but not enough to notice in the exhaust. It also lost some coolant but I couldn't find a leak anywhere. I know the cap lifted, but it never got hot. New cap, but maybe it's a bad one. I mentioned before the windshield leaks and wipers chatter. Outside of those items we never had a problem.

1607 miles, over 100 gallons of gas (averaged 14.8 mpg yesterday driving 70 mph the entire time), listening to either the wind and exhaust note or some tunes, whichever fit our mood. Great friends, great food, great ride, great weather, great fun. Now my girls are jealous their brother got to learn to shoot so they both want to go now. I can't wait to do it again.

Time for some pics.

Glamour shot...

One of the first big bridge crossings of the Mississippi

Welcome to MO.

Saw this rig going into St Louis. Some kind of Bronco conversion, or maybe crewcab conversion. Kind of different. Had a soft top up front, hard top in back I think.

Our first stop in St Louis, parking down at the riverfront. The water was a bit high. Lower level of the parking garage was flooded. You can see a sign in the water in front of the truck.

Of course we went to the arch.

A couple views from up top.

Double arches...

After this we had lunch downtown, walked around, then headed out to my friends place. We came back to St Louis the next day to eat at one of the top rated BBQ joints in the city, Pappys Smokehouse. It was excellent, I highly recommend it. Then we went to Anheuser Busch to take the tour.

On the way out...

The next morning we did some shooting. I have a couple rifles, but don't hunt or shoot regularly. So this was really the first time my son got to learn to shoot. Damon is a certified instructor and shoots in the cowboy shooting competitions. We started small with a .22 lever action. Donovan liked it so much that he went back to it later and wants to buy one now.

Then we shot some hand guns, starting with a Walther P22 auto. Then a .38 revolver and finally a 9mm auto. He did real well with all of them, must be all those video games

. We worked up to the one every gamer wants to try, the AK-47. (its not fully auto, not allowed in IL)

But that's not all. Far from it. This little popper was built by Damon and has the same bore size as a golf ball.

It goes BOOM!

We both did a bunch of riding on the ATV's (Donovan) and dirt bikes (me, which I discovered I really really like). There was a party celebrating Damons son graduating from high school and for a house warming because they are now officially moved out of the city. I met lots of good people, drank some beer, ate way too much food, stayed up way too late BS'ing and had the best time I can remember in a long while.

Sunday morning we BS'ed some more (2 day party) ate a huge breakfast and hit the road.

Lots of gas, oil and water later, the truck was fantastic and is back in its stall.

As you can see, this truck was built for driving. No trailer queen here.

If you have a car or truck you love, and a friend or family member to share it with, don't hesitate, get that damn thing out of the garage and drive the hell out of it. You will not regret it.

Great times. Best ride. Eating, shootin' the s**t ,guns, cannons, arch, music, great times.

I had my share of doubts, but figured I could handle any problems that came up.

A loud BLAST indeed. His first cannon was made from a piece of shotgun barrel found in a barn pile of scrap. He has a few, this one is the biggest.

Been there, done that. I used to live in the western Washington area, twice. Was in Bremerton in my Navy daze, then was a boiler inspector from Everett north to the border, including the islands. I lived on Camano Island. I do still have friends and family there and the thought has crossed my mind more than once for a trip to the ocean.

Hows about you getting bompenstien on the road and head to the old stomping grounds of Courtland, MN?

hgs_notes · 06-30-2013, 11:18 PM

Went to the New Ulm Autofest today and had a good time. There were 4 other 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks there. I think mine was the nicest

. One guy came from Jordan with a C-30 CST longhorn that was his farm truck for several years. Here's a few pics.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Got another distraction this weekend. Another one of my dads old vehicles. This one floats. 2002 14' lund rebel with a 25 hp honda outboard. My youngest loves fishing and we just haven't done enough of it. Need to get a hitch now.

Don't forget that trucks need to haul more than ass. A little work is good for them once in a while.

I took this mostly to bother my friend at the body shop. It drives him nuts that I use it for everything.

Last but not least, I finally sold the 1972 2wd blazer chassis I had sitting behind the garage and a couple other things. Da-burb got it and has some plans. It was a cash and trade deal because da-burb is a parts dealer and one of his things is with ACC. He's gonna get me some floor mats that match my carpet and will fit the floor better than my walmart specials. Also getting some e-brake cables to fix another nagging issue. Contact him for any of your truck part needs. https://www.facebook.com/BowtieTruckStop
