Mine still has a few things that I need to do before I can drive her. I sure hope to have her on the road sometime this summer though. I want to do some cruisin' and maybe take a couple of trips, depending on funds. If she's ready, I might even make it to Superrun 2013, who knows. :thup:
With the price of gas at $135.9/L, she'll probably have to do some work to help earn her keep! :lol:

Maybe a half a dozen times each summer :( I'd like to drive it more but it's stored several miles from my house.

I drive mine almost everyday, except maybe on Sundays. I mow 7 lawns weekly and 2 family cemetery plots every other week. I use my 70 F350 to haul my push mower and trimmer and blower. On days I don't mow I trim trees, bushes, and haul mulch. Today I got 2 yards of mulch for my sister-in-law and her neighbor and the rest for us at our house. Two weeks ago I hauled 3 yards of mulch for our church and parsonage. I think I could easily haul 4 yards with room to spare on the 7x12 foot bed.

The truck has been reliable and fun to drive... but the poor gas mileage eats into my profits!!
