Just a cruising pic

Took the truck out for its first real drive since I bought it back. Decided to snap a few pictures while I was out cruising. I was using my crappy camera and taking the pics into the sun (bad time of day), but they're still neat pics, imo. Also, don't mind the smoke, I dumped half a can of sea foam in the tank before I went out for this drive...

Re: Just a cruising pic

hahaha, yeah, they're Jason's old wheels. The shop in town closes at noon on Saturdays, so I was only able to get the front tires changed out today. I'll do the rears at some point next week. Also...I'm going to steal an idea of yours and put Mr. Horsepower stickers on my front fenders

That old farm house in the background looks like the house in the Steve McQueen movie "Hunter" where the TransAm rental car gets blown up.

Cool pics. I bet it feels good to be driving her again doesn't it.

Re: Just a cruising pic

It feels great to drive it again, let me tell you. I did pop the radiator on the above drive, gotta shop around for a new one. I also noticed an oil leak directly under the rear main area. If it's got a rear main leak, the 400 will be coming out to be repaired and built properly (IE: ported/polished heads, fuel injection, bigger cam) and I'll shop around for a junkyard 305 or 350 to drop in it for now.

Regardless, it does feel good to drive it again.
