Gotta say, awesome site. Wanted to post up my new ride but I'll give the background on it first.
It's a 75 3/4 ton 4x4 4 speed. I bought it from a buddies dad who's owned it the last 25+ years. This thing has, for the last 15+ years, been used exclusively as a wood hauler. It's beat up, I call it character for now. Truck has alot of history, apparently the orginal owner has a wall of trophies from pulling it in the late 70's and early 80's. So far I'm pleasantly surprised, I had about a 25 mile trip home from my buddies dad farm that I'd planned on taking county (gravel) roads for the majority of the way(my buddy and his dad were both a little leary of driving highway speeds with this thing). Well I had to take it about 5 miles on pavement to get some gas and it did fine so I took highway all the way home, no problems...that I could tell. It had been sitting outside for about the last 5 years and looked terrible I took about half a container of heavy rubbing compound and went to work, it still looks rough...apparently rubbing compound doesn't remove rust and add clear coat
I'm pretty pleased with the $750 I have in it. Still not sure what my offical plan is for it. It was just gonna be an on the farm truck, haul wood, trash etc...but I don't know. I'm afraid if I stick around here too much it's gonna get expensive for me
Anyway here it is as it sits.
