Dennis's truck and he and dads comments through the years left such an impression in me that I knew one day I would own one...Fast forward to recent years I was fortunate enough to retire the trade (Iron Worker) at 55 after 37 years. I found "Sally", a 72 C/10 LWB Custom/Deluxe and did in fact buy her from an old woman for $500 on the condition that I restore her, I gave her my word and drove her hom. I drove Sally to the grocery store last week and ran into that woman shopping and was able to show her what I had done to poor Sally. She just loved what I had done to her, big block and all! Two years ago, knowing I was going to need a tow vehicle I found "Belle" on a farm out in western Nebraska. The old boy was firm at $2500, she did have a new oak wood bed so I layed down 25 one hundred dollar bills and drove her home! I got her on that interstate and put the spurs to her and that 350 ran like a champ and that 3:08 posi cruised at 80 mph like a thoroughbred! Belle had factory overload leafs and knowing I was going to be towing with her, I installed 3/4 ton springs out back and installed a 3:73 posi. I rebuilt the 350 and installed Lunati Voodoo cam ground for low end torque. I took and built a 10,000+lb receiver hitch and put on four new 16" wheels and tires but left her for the most part stock. She pulls like a train and drives like a dream! Sally got a 4/4 static drop, a 69 SS-396 (built) motor out of a buddies El-Camino. She has a 3:08 Posi, behind an $1800 Monster built 350Turbo. I guess I best of both worlds with those two girls, the Thoroughbred and the Clydesdale, "Nasty Sally & Belle" ~Ghostrider~
