The day we stripped all this out was a good day.
Old plastic, older rubber, and really old Stratoflex.

 

Finally got my new, 359 specific, AG130 style springs, so the front is getting revised also.

 

I totally get it, but this makes me sad a bit.

 

I REALLY didn’t want to…

 

Wasn’t it you who had the fuel tank “situation” somewhere a while back?

 

Yup.
Raked the drain plug out of the passengers side fuel tank crossing a train track in Granite Falls NC.

 

Man, that was and still will be, one beautiful truck.

And mad props for the quality of work you are able to produce.

I went through major grief just getting the step boxes bolted on mine.

But I am kicking this off in NM in the AM and decking a couple trailers right back to Reno. Almost feels like I'm back in the trucking business.

I think I like it.

 

Seems I remember the back story. You my not consider it a show truck, but with the quality of work you do it'll be far closer to a show truck than 90 percent of the good from far but far from good trucks out there today.

 

Backed under my loaded trailer in the dark. Saw that the release handle was “in”, but didn’t check the jaws. 200’ later after going up a slight grade, and in the second right hand turn out onto the road, the trailer unhooked.
That dent was where the pin hit.

 

Could've been worse
