man, I don't know why, I have so much trouble logging on from the house. sucks. well anyway it was 55 this weekend. had a great ride again. but the water is running. still have a good 30 miles of riding room. well and with the new 4x4 we just play in the water.

I see a bright future ahead for my old 1 ton 72 chevy pickup camper special.   :i I'll throw up a picture or two of the aluminium chip hauling truck.  the doors are real close to falling off.  So much rust that I go real slow over the RR tracks,  hit them to fast and I would lose the whole body from it.  But it still runs like a  raped ape.  Built 383 with a 850 Holley four barrel, roller rockers, forged Aron's pistons, Callie's rods and crank, big Sig cam. Built 450 turbo hydrodynamic auto with after marked shift kit, 3500 stall converter from A and Reds, big sprag gears in the transfer case no chains and 4:11 gears in the third members,all the trans work was done buy the man himself old man Chance of Chance transmissions and Manufacturing.
The truck it's self has over 400.000 miles on the clock.  Has had three full off frame rebuilds and paint jobs. Not going to happen again.

sounds like a good candidate for a build. I will say its a different kind of playing ride. more of a slow ride just crawling around on rocks. but is cool what you can crawl over,

Let's try to actually get this river run done this spring. I'm just itching to bring the new buggy to it. Anyone up for it?
