Re: Viking eye candy

What are your plans for it ? I'd be looking for a vintage trailer to mount onto it.

All the parts that are green rusted Rotten

Re: Viking eye candy

That's really a neat truck. I love the decal on the propane tank. Take a picture so it can be reproduced if you paint the tank.

Sounds like a rod knock? Naah... just loose exhaust.

Put some weight in the back to save the kidneys. How much worse can the mileage get?
