Re: Frankentruck
Over the fall break, I decided to drive the truck down to Milledgeville. The trip went great with no issues, but it sure was scary driving down I20 with everybody else flying by me because I can barely do 65 at a comfortable engine rpm. The truck really stood out in the sea of more modern vehicles.
The reason I brought the truck down is because there was a car show in downtown Milledgeville that I wanted to go to. I also saw a beautiful 67 Plymouth that was the same color as my grandpa's old mail car. He was a rural letter carrier in Stephens County long before I was born. My uncle currently has the Belvedere, but I hope that one day I will be able to fix it.
I kept the truck with me in Milledgeville until I had to drive back home again. When I got back home, I went to pick up the engine for the Dakota after it was finally finished. I forgot to take a picture of the engine in the bed of Frankentruck.
