you guys are all talking about "jethro" my 69c10 pickumup.
bought from a 74yr old Texan-who'd owned it since new, crashed it a couple of times an drove it all round texas but has never seen the ocean an was chuffed to find out his truck was in "new zeeland".
I drove it for a couple of years til the balancer was ready to fall off the crank on the 250i6 then stripped it down to bare chassis rails , fixed everything that needed to be fixed an pq-15 everything and then slapped on a coat of blue paint outside my garage - put in a 305 smblk, left the 4-spd (with the granny 1st gear) an 4.11 12-bolt lsd.
I drive it nearly everyday - abuse the heck out of it- do skids at the traffic lights - cart heaps of stuff and can honestly say it is the most favourite of all my vehicles
have just about finished a rebuild of a 292 i6 to go back in and intend to clock up heaps more smiles per mile!!!
