My ole truck George hasn't been driven much lately
As I have a couple others that I use
Lot of guys know George first hand
As he has been to SlickStock 3-4-5
Red F100 4x4 .. 223 flareside ... still has the factory paint
So I put it in the shop a couple weeks ago
I need to TLC it ...
Front windshield needs replaced
Clutch needs adjusted
I'm gonna spend the coin and buy a new floormat
Also gonna round up 4 original rims & get new mudgrips
Take out the heater & clean & maintenance
Clean up the engine bay some
I'd like to take out the metal floor the previous owner welded into the bed
And put in new wood
Also polish & wax inside & out
Replace some lights .....
It deserves it .... that truck can sit for 90 days & start right up
There's a small "car museum" in a nearby town
Maybe put it on loan if they have a place for it
Sitting in a dry heated & cooled building might seem nice
But George will probably be daydreaming of hauling wood

Yep .... can barely see those names on thereAlan Mclennan wrote:Bluey... you didn't mention that George was a valve cover race contributor .....
As bad as it looks , I'm thinking I won't repaint it
I think I'll clean it up carefully & put it on a shelf
Find a replacement & paint it up nice
