Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I finished my oil filter delete plate and my valve cover and rockers came today.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Pleasant Autumn weather and a combo car show-swap meet lured me 25 miles up the freeway today. The Panel runs smooth and sweet at 70 mph on the Intersate. I don't do shows, but I parked in the spectator lot and thought my truck looked good next to this similarly-colored '40 PU.

After decades of attending shows, I'm jaded by the endless procession of cookie-cutter cars, so I appreciate it when something different shows up. This riveted Falcon got my attention, and the Buick pickup conversion had a vanity license plate reading "DFRENT"

I came home with a windshield full of splattered bugs.

You're truck looks great and bugs on the windshield and rock chips are trophy enough for me as well. Cool looking Olds "truck" also. I'm like you, drive em there and leave when you want to. Nice ride!!

What color did you find for that engine block? Still hunting the perfect red for my paint job and would love the block to match.

It's Firethorn red pearl. It's real nice in the sun. According to them it can be touched up.

I'm thinking that's going to need a little bondo.
