Re: Who has a 67-72 truck for their only vehicle?

I do, now. [Or again.]
I just sold my '92 Subaru Legacy 2.2 for $900 to a guy who wanted the engine for a transplant into a vintage VW Westphalia Transporter. He drags 'em outta the weeds, puts a running Subie boxer engine in it, and says they sell like hot cakes on the Coast. Anyway glad to dump the ricer. Packrats had chewed the wiring harness to shreds, check-engine-light constant on, the interior had not survived 2 German Shepherds, the brakes, CVs, alignment, and suspension, all needed overhaul to the estimated tune of $2200. And the drivers-side sunvisor broke off. In Arizona.

Now I'm back to my main rig, the '68 Orange C/10 Stepside. Also overhauling the brakes and front locking hubs on my '71 GMC Jimmy K/1500 4x4. Parts are in, just need time off work to conduct maintenance.

I may get another Subaru in the future. Looking at Foresters. It's a money thing right now. Don't have to pay for insurance, license or gas on a 3rd vehicle.
