Thought I'd jump in here late: My '70 is my DD. 2200 miles a month! I'm an old coot and I'm having more fun in this semi-beater/DD than anything I've own since an "A" Model I had in high school. My bride and I have taken it to Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Spartanburg, Pigeon Forge, Tn., Lake Lure, Asheville, N.C. and a bunch of others. I'm a big fan of the "cruise-out", where a bunch of car people get together and go to some destination (generally involving food of some sort). I also go to the cruise-ins and charity shows and weather-be-damned. Truck sat in a field for 17 yrs. and it ain't gonna' kill it. Yea, I do have to spend some time and money on repairs, but not too bad. And as a friend's son said, "This thing is more fun than a bucket of nuts" AMEN !, son.
