New guy from East Texas
« on: October 02, 2010, 06:40:03 pm »
Just joined this site.
I just bought a 1975 1/2 ton Scottsdale that been sitting in a barn for the last 15 years.
I think every seal on the thing leaks or is dry rotted from sitting so long but, what the heck. It does run and has very little rust.
I plan to fix it up for towing my race car and bass boat.
Looking forward for help on the many questions that I'm sure to have.
