I drove my '69 D300 for the first time in over two years last Saturday. I finally got around to getting it and my project '87 Chevy R-10 4x2 pickup out and about. I'm finding that driving a manual absolutely kills my left leg! Difficulty walking was one of several things that made my decision to retire pretty easy. So, I plan on using/enjoying it until the end of Summer, then it'll go up for sale. Boy, it drives nice and does everything it's supposed to. I plan on getting the mirror brackets powder-coated very soon. Get them done in a chrome-like finish, install new aluminum mirrors and call that done!
The Chevy has sat in my shop for over three years. I've been doing things to it, as well. I took it (rather, had it flat bedded) to s buddy's shop to get a cracked frame repaired, and installed rear shocks. It drives pretty nice, too. First year of FI and last year of the Square body style. This might be my first attempt at a full paint job. The body is amazingly straight and rust-free!
My first full month of retirement has been a full one.
