Truck arrived from States!!!
My truck arrived from the States yesterday!!! Went to port in Venice and we had four cars to unload. Quite a sight to see a 72 Cheyenne Super, 77 Ranchero Squire w/woodgrain sides, 69 Purple Charger and a common S-10 4dr 4wd headed from Venice on the Autostrada! Got lots of thumbs up and some Italian girl pulled up next to me at a redlight in town on a Vespa and said "let me hear some music, gas it!" I about fell out of the truck laughing.
Got them home and one the neighbors came over to see the truck and started on about how long it has been since he saw one that style because the Air Force had them in 70's for the base here. Bad news is a I found a quart of auto tranny fluid under the truck and now have to find out where it is coming from. I checked pretty good when I had it for a few days in TX and it did not appear to be leaking. Was in transit for 2 month. |

This might be a crazy question but how much did it cost to get your truck over there?

I have had transmission leaks after sitting, and it has been the shifter shaft seal. When the vehicle sits for a long time the converter leaks down into the pan and raises the fluid level to the shifter shaft. The shifter shaft seals are not to hard to change. Or don't let it sit :-)

Here is a shot of the truck and Ranchero before loading in Houston. A 40ft container cost about $2,600 from Houston to Venice with me loading/unloading the cars and parts.
I work at the American Air Base in Aviano, Italy 50 miles NE of Venice, work for Corps of Engineers now. I pay about $1.80 for gas with Nato coupons and get 400 liters a month, about $5.30 a gal on the "economy" mrein3, thanks for the tip, will try. |

It's a two-wheel motor scooter like a Cushman.
