X2 on the motor. I'm in NY just a little to far to cruise. I will say in my neck of the woods there are not to many bumps around. I know of three by me.

Not the case here in Tucson Az. I see 4 bumps within the first mile drive to work every day And lots more on the road. Ever since I bought this one I see them every where. I don't feel so special any more

Nice. Mine is one big daily driver work in progress. Sold my paid off new car and bought this to fix up. Some think I am nuts but I missed driving a classic everyday. The problem with Clyde, as we affectionately call our bump, is he sat as a third vehicle for many years. So Clyde keeps giving me more pressing issues to deal with instead of the fun stuff I have planned. I think we are getting closer to getting it all worked out then the new interior, 390, Trans etc! At least I got the wheels on it and it no longer looks like a Meth heads truck
Checking in from Paulden my '68 has been my daily driver,toy,expedition vehicle and bugout rig for 25 years,I'm the second owner it's first life was as a ranch truck on the central coast of CA. I plan to drive it until they pry the keys from my cold dead fingers

Way cool! I just decided to turn my truck into a restored bug out vehicle. I just completed some first steps towards that, I raised it back up and got a camper shell for it.

Nice truck,
it's one thing to have a classic "toy" it's another all together to have a classic daily driver AND make it work for a living...........that is what they were made to do
