Sunday Drive
A year ago I lost my wife, and as expected things had to be put on hold. The fog of her loss is still with me but has cleared a little. No this isn't a pity party , just a little background. Life has a way
I ran into some issues with my T-5 swap and lack of motivation. But I was able to get things going. I decided to go for a little drive today . The 250 and the T-5 worked great together. It was fun and cleared the cobwebs out, of the truck and my mind !

Re: Sunday Drive
Sorry for you loss. I could not imagine what you have been through. I love the wheels on your truck. Nothing like a good long drive in a old truck

Re: Sunday Drive
Good fun to get out and drive it! I got so burned out commuting for 27 years that I still don't like to go driving anywhere. It's almost 7 years since I retired.

Re: Sunday Drive
Nice Truck
 I like those hoods on that year. I had a T 5 in a firebird. Those are nice shifting transmissions. ..//

Re: Sunday Drive
Cragars and white letters look great! Perfect choice. Reminds me of good old times when I was a punk teenager on a Mongoose Kos Kruiser bike and I would see these great old trucks frequently cruising the streets. That look was the schnizel back then and it still is today.
