One of my favourite things every year when I land in St Louis, and head to Arkansas or Oklahoma is the incredible blue skies.

Your photos, along with the vistas..... just lovely

Update.
Jan 18 2020.

Alt conversion. Gm 2 wire. I prefer the charging light in Stock gauge. If I ever loose the alt belt driving down the road the light will get my attention before I over heat the engine. Rule “Everything for a Reason”.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
 

Also picked up a 1957 Chevy truck project. I have been working on it. This pick was taken Tuesday It was my morning coffee view! I can’t describe how Handy this 61 truck is. I have been gathering parts for the 57. It is so much FUN running parts in the BEATER!!

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
 

And that...... is why we need trucks.

I love all the pics, and the one on the road with Superstition Mountains and your morning coffee view certainly are what it’s all about.

Thanks for the update.

Re: 1961 Chevy Apache My Beater
 

Looking good man! I try to drive my 63 whenever I'm going to get parts for it. It's more fun that way lol
