Old Hobbies Die Hard

Ok, so I found out how to add pictures at least four at at time. Three of these are pictures of the truck I used to own. The last one is of a kitten who fell asleep in his food. There's no relation. I only had three pictures of my truck and just thought it looked odd so I had to find something else to put in there. (and since this post will probably alienate most girls- the kitten should provide some cuteness as compensation). Edit: even though I had the pictures in a 2 by 2 layout, they reverted to vertical for some reason- but I'll still leave the kitten there. I've had two trucks similar to this but this is the bigger one and probably my favourite. The pictures probably don't really do it justice. For the people who like some detail, it is/was a '75 Jimmy which had its body replaced by a pickup truck cab. What's left is a very short pickup truck. It has 40 x 17 inch tires with a custom body lift. There is a snow-plow mount on the front, air-tank in the custom rear tube bumper, removable rear mud-flaps (taken off in the mud shots). 4.10 gears in the 1-ton axles. Stock 305 Chevy small block out of an old Grand Prix. It had no inner front fenders which allowed changing spark plugs without opening the hood. It was the ultimate play truck and my daily driver for a couple of years, definitely one-of-a-kind. I eventually lost the truck when the person whose farm I was storing it at "sold it for me".

Daryl! I thought maybe you had given up on the world of blogging! :P Nice truck...although I'd have to say the kitten is my favourite!
