Hello old friend!

[tsubaki]

This may not interest hardly any of you, but I thought it was neat how things can come about full circle.
The V I got, was my grandfathers bought new in 1975, it changed quite a few hands (even my fathers) before accidentally finding its way to me less than 3 years ago.
My father worked for a local auto dealership, one of the benefits was the occasional use of their parts delivery truck. He would on occasion use it to pull the boat to the ramp.
I bought the truck 11 years ago as a third vehicle, used it about 6 years. Well it had been sitting for about 5 years till this summer, I decided to try to sell it. I got no takers, put new tires on it , no takers, even painted it, you guessed it no takers.
Figured, might as well use it to pull the V to the ramp on occasion.
First time they have been together in over 21 years!!

:beer: Nice. Probably could have filled'em both back then for what it cost to fill just the truck now.

The 2 look great together, whats the truck have under the hood? 318 or a 225?

Thanks guys.
Just got back (survived) a fruitless 5 day hunting trip on an island with the V and the truck even pulled it to the ramp and back.
shubey, it's a 318.
