Iv'e been driving this truck so long that it's sort of a cat with nine live's. This was 1982 I think--I remember being pissed at the flakeing chrome on my Cragers and thinking red wheels look good with flat black--remember 1982--I should have taken my sunglasses off when I bought the spray paint. More Orange than Red.
I've always preferred the look of Ford's compact van of the 60's to the others from GM or Dodge. On the same note, I love the look of the E100 pickup even more, despite Winfield's noble effort to convince me otherwise.
Nice Dyna in the first pic, too. so how long HAVE you had that truck ? These love stories really get to me. in the good way. Can you show us the whole history since you've had it ?
They didn't make dyna's when that pic was taken-- Thats what I did to a new 1978 low rider shovelhead-My father gave me the truck in 1970--
My bad. I didn't see it was a shovelhead through the wooden slats ! Very nice bike anyway. Do you still have that too ?
Well, you sill have the truck ... fair question I thought. If I could have a shovelhead i'd go for it in a beat over the recent HD stuff. Much more character, and you can hop them up really nicely. Anyway ... what about your truck's other lives ?
