purple parts pickup
Sold the wife's old Honda, used the money to buy this 66 parts hauler over the weekend - nice, but not too nice to drive to work (the Honda never gave me the silly grin while driving)

Re: purple parts pickup
Thanks for the kind comments-
Now my challenge will be to spend my weekends building the truck instead of finding reasons to drive the parts hauler!

Some people, like my wife, don't consider Elky's to be pickups.

My daughter thought she was clever when she referred to it as a "mullet" car-
business in the front, party in the rear - my son will inherit the elco

its a good thing your daughter knows what a "mullet" is so she can avoid them later in life.

Mild 350/350 - I think I'll swap the trans for a 700r4 since it's now my daily driver, use the fresh 350TH with the shift kit behind the big block going in my truck soon.

Re: purple parts pickup
Crescent, Oklahoma. I delivered lumber to the yard there around 74. That was just before they shut down the plutonium plant and the town almost became a ghost town.
