Good news for the kids. ( I guess??) at least "they" know what ails'em. Hopefully some antibiotics can clear this up?

Since I'm one of the two.. I must say Great Job on the pics, very "artsy" of you!

And that mileage is very respectable for that vintage.

Thanks, I was trying to get some decent ones without having to pay for the expertise.

The good mileage must be because of the old straight six. Haha

This weekend I drove the truck to Lynnvile Iowa to go haul more grain. I took my 4 year old son with me and gave him his first burn out ride. It was the first burn out on the street for the truck too. I also did some mediocre hard launches and this thing will get it. On the way home I took Clint to the Wagaman mill because he saw the "water fall" in the river that morning, so I took him to get a better view. Some great history there. On the way home I had a newish 5.0 mustang jacking with me. He kept getting next to me and revving his engine up like he was cool. I let him get out a little bit on me and I let the Longhorn have it. I passed him with ease, I was still in my lane. I even let off to tease him and then gave it more. I finally just let out of it and let him keep going. He probably has a summit mag opened up right now. The modifications to the truck sure make it handle as nice as a new truck. There aren't too many 72 Chevys out there that can do that. All in all a good weekend. Sorry, I don't have any burn out vids. With all the talk of hot rodding dying off. In my opinion, I don't think it is at all. Just taking a different route for now. i'm betting the pre war cars will be a huge fad again when all the younger guys can afford to build them later on in life. I know a lot of young guys that want them, just don't have the pockets or space and know how to build them.
