Felt good to drive the 85C20
« on: April 04, 2012, 07:34:56 pm »
After work today I unloaded the bed from my purchases from over a year ago.  I took it to town for 15 gallons of gas and according to my record I hadn't put gas in it since 3/22/11..  Still runs great, just seems like I need to look into the rear brakes, doesn't stop like it use too.  May have some frozen rear wheel cylinders...  Felt good to feel the 454 pull...  Just had to share.

Kind of like riding a horse you haven't ridden in a long time.  And letting it gallop across the prairie.  Just feels good!

     Wow, been a year since you drove it, or was that just the last time you put gas in it ?  I guess with 5 of them it would be easy to forget which one you drove and which one you haven't.     
     Glad to hear you still enjoy all of your trucks though.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

About once every couple of months I would start it and take it 1.1 miles up the road and turn around at the grain elevator just to keep the rust off the rotors.  With all the stuff in back roaming around I would never take it that far.  I need to take the topper off and start getting ready to take the bed bolts out.  It is almost rocker/cab corner time.
