This truck is really dry. Needs rockers and misc hack repairs,front floor is nice as well. I found this truck back in 1997. The older hippy guy would not come off of it. I keep in touch with him and last week he finally offered it up. Got a great deal on it compared to internet price standards,kinda shocked its here! It still has not sunk in yet that I finally got this beast! Now I need to hunt down taillights,bumpers,and get it running. I felt like a little kid the night before,couldn't sleep or stop thinking about it. This is my third 55 single. This one is not going to get away! |
Well done

I'm betting it would be a bit scary to be up there in the Split roof thang when approaching a freeway overpass!

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |
