day 1: add silly signage to truk

OrrieG · 06-02-2012, 10:59 PM

I'm jealous, keep the updates coming, but do NOT interfere with your vacation plans...

Kim57 · 06-03-2012, 03:04 AM

Cool.
Try to add some pics of each day if possible.

Groyd · 06-03-2012, 05:15 PM

I wish the tour would drive thru OKC instead of around it. I would have loved to watched that come by while I was at work.

Power tour really messes up the traffic in every small town we pass

Great pics, please keep them coming.

That Futurliner is awsome, I actually saw one in 1954 when they came to Savannah, Ga. Check out this website when you have a lot of time.

We didn't get there until after the rain.
You should have come
most long haulers don't get there until after 3 or 4
we left around 6

Beutiful day for cruising in the warm south.
My painter is driving a 52 suburban
a couple of stops to swap the carb and distributor out

_Ogre · 06-07-2012, 12:43 AM

Truk is performing exceptionally well with 7122 miles on the speedo

Dang, no comments on truk cruising@ 95?

haven't posted power tour updates lately. Truk made the power tour without incident.
Heading out of texarkana on the way home the speedo started jumping, I tried to lub it from the top.
That worked for a while but had to stop at shop to pull it from the bottom and grease it.
Not bad for a 1600 mile cruise

OKGMC4 · 06-11-2012, 05:51 PM

I thought everbody on the power tour drove that fast...glad to hear it went well. I heard it starts in Dallas next year and I should have the bugs worked out by then. Maybe I won't miss out on the next one. I bet you have a ton of pics!

_Ogre · 06-11-2012, 06:00 PM

Maybe this will will get some comments...

Not only is the speedo pegged, but the odometer is at 8111. That makes for 2136 miles as of 8pm last night.
I got behind this crazy canuck in a 66 Chevy. We did a 100 plus for an hour and a half in light traffic.
Everyone else seemed to be going 90 anyways.

_Ogre · 06-11-2012, 06:11 PM

Actually most of the power tour is on secondary roads.
Most cruise at 5 over out side of towns and at the limit in towns.
You always have the new mustang and vette guys that pass you,
But I don't like to cruise with those guys anyway

Sounds like you had a great time.
Pics are needed though.
