Bolted right in.<br />Meanwhile paintjob, interior and some bucket seats out of a Dodge van, and it was ready to roll.<br /><br />That was a great truck. Took it across country four times in the mid-seventies. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-69266540225352672702016-09-23T12:24:58.005-07:002016-09-23T12:24:58.005-07:00Ditto on the log cabin - I could live the rest of ...Ditto on the log cabin - I could live the rest of my life there.Chickenmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978826295959619815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-45973974614315632152016-09-23T11:14:04.416-07:002016-09-23T11:14:04.416-07:00The cabin on the lake man.
