Name change for you would be 'Mr Wilson' or 'Wilson Wilson'.

I have a 73 3/4 ton 4x4 that my dad bought new that's sitting in my shed with a bit smaller tires than your's. My dad used this trk for yrs a crop sprayer with it's 300ga tank, 40 foot boom. I haven't started it in three yrs, but I'm sure it'd be just a fresh battery & the turn of a key.. they just don't make 'em like they use too, eh Paul?

No joe you are right.. You could not give me a new chevy from "Government Motors" Now a days but I love my old chevys. Ill have up dates on the Tan truck here soon it will be going threw it and redoing it as it had a accident this last fall so I am going to go pick up new 36x14r15 today and it will be coming in the shop and my son is going to start on it this weekend..

i know the regret of selling something you love. my first car was an 84 regal and i stupidly sold it. 5 years later there was ad that was very obscure "black car for sale" lol. go check it out and its my baby! the engine and the rims were changed out but it was still "alive" has a 77 olds 350 in it now and the rims used to be 81 monte checkered flag rims but they are gone. now i got some grand prix rims on it. still a lllllllllllong way to get it to look as good as Paul's 69 chevy!

and I agree with the term "they dont make them like they used to"! so true that it scares me to buy anything newer then 92

I was looking back in the archives and saw this. I know what you mean about todays vehicles compared to years ago Paul. I own a 1966 Impala. I bought it when i was 20 yrs old.It is the first vehicle I ever bought. Im 45yrs old now and after all that life has thrown at me i still have it . Even through college and the early days in my apprentiship living payday to payday. I refused to sell it! i know too many guys who all say... " wish i never would have sold her ".....
i began a frame off resto about.......10? 15 yrs ago now?
yeah.....its turned into a retirement project good news is, the rebuild is complete but i just aint got a big enough garage to put it all back together! I will post pics once i scan the old fashion pics i have of it from years ago.

love that truck Paul, I know you hate new stuff but you cant hate my Red Rocket.... its a 2004 RST Regency. Ive had this baby for 5 years now and every time i drive it I still get a great big smile Friends of mine call it " the power smile" and they are absolutely right!











yeah, the last pics are from a few years ago before i replaced the center caps. all taken care of now.
