Re: New C50 Owner
As others have said, nice looking truck! I don't know how keen I'd be on taking an old truck I had never seen before and bombing it at 3500+ rpms for 1300 miles. Sure, it was made for that, I agree! But that was 50 years ago too and if it's only been run local and you take it on that sort of trip there's no end to the things that can start to go wrong a few hundred miles into your journey leaving you to do some roadside wrenching that could be anywhere from a minor fix to a huge conundrum.
Not trying to be a downer! I'm firmly rooted in the "drive it home" camp, just with the knowledge that you may want to prepare and take an array of tools and some spare belts, hoses, thermostats, air filter, etc, etc...
