Re: Well boys, I may be leaving the fold tomorrow

It should be delivered tomorrow. I'm about 100 percent sure I'll like this truck better than my 67-72s I've had lately. Life is short, why build the same truck over and over again ?

In my opinion, the older the better. The only reason I settled my search on a 63-66 was because the suspension and drivetrain is easy to update for small money.

I did an OLD Chevy once and it sucked. Babbit pounder engine, torque tube driveline and awful brakes. I had to completely build that car from scratch front to back, new rearend, open driveshaft, V8, auto, all new mounts, Mustang II front end to get good driveability.

I'd have bought an AD truck if it weren't for those issues. I drive them too much to live with that antiquated stuff every day and I'm too poor to build a catalog street rod ever again.
