  5. The Land Rover fording the stream and the FJ-40 both call to me, but I'm with Brig. The cabin on the lake is something special.

  6. The cabin on the lake man. It makes me want to do what I can't - travel.
    Thanks for the great posting.

  8. My first truck was a '56 Chevy panel. 265 V8, Rochester 2-jet, and Hydramatic 4-speed.
    Motor was tired so I installed 283 shortblock (front motor mounts), "RV" cam, stock heads and manifold, tube headers and turbo muffs.
    Rebuilt the suspension, brakes, shocks and installed a set of 31" tires.
    Then the Hydramatic died so my buddy and I replaced it w/ a granny gear 4-speed from the salvage yard. Bolted right in.
    Meanwhile paintjob, interior and some bucket seats out of a Dodge van, and it was ready to roll.

    That was a great truck. Took it across country four times in the mid-seventies.
