Ya know, sometimes life kicks you right in the junk and other times, life graces you with awesomeness. I've experienced both. It seems that no matter which hand life has dealt me, I've been able to find solace while driving a bouncy old truck out in the country on a nice day. Whether heading to my favorite fishing spot, or heading over to a friend's place to help with chores, tooling along in an old truck just seemed to make it more enjoyable. Crank up the radio, roll down the windows and ease along down a country road. There are few things more relaxing....
I said goodbye to Ol' Bouncy the other day. She and I had a great run. Hopefully, her new owner gets to enjoy the same kind of quality time with her that I did. Gonna miss her....
However, as so often is the case, life often closes one door, it opens another.
I simply could not pass up the opportunity when another bouncy truck became available...
Meet the new gal:
She's a 1970 Dodge D100 Sweptline. 318/727 with a PO installed 9-1/4 rear with 3.90 gears. Brand new Goodyears all the way around, new radiator, water pump, brakes and alternator. I had to do some minor repairs after purchase (the EPA would have been knocking at my door if I didn't clean up the oil slick, as it leaked more than Don McGinnis' '68 Road Runner), but she's strong. Ugly, yes.... but strong.
Ah.... I love bouncy old trucks....
Let's go fishin'
