1978 chevy g10 shorty

and... this happened.

i wasn't planning to buy a van, and honestly i just wanted to drive one to make sure i wanted a truck. but after spending a lot of time looking and talking with the owner, he dropped the price considerably and i couldn't refuse... adventures here we come!

shorty, 110 wheelbase. rear windows, no side windows. 

its only the 250ci inline6, but that means it gets great gas mileage compared to the 305 or 350 8cyllinder

also the 3 on the tree, was converted to a hurst floor shifter, rad. 

cragars on her feet, bed in the back. total 70's, total babe.

 did i mention it came full of old motorcycle parts... ha!

weekend road trip to ohio

spent a lot of time in parks and enjoying good vegan food. 

sounds simple, but makes for a great weekend

bar bathrooms so small that you can touch all 4 walls at the same time...

hal and al's ...yes!

sleepin in the car

miss these places a lot.

found some good vegan food in a cool little neighborhood in dayton.  we will be back.

roach update

manual matches the bike. grimy. 

the roach has a new stance. 18" rear 21" front. both drum. just need to find a 16" drum spoked wheel for the back and it'll sit just like i want.
