    I agree! i've always been a "chevy man" (as far as light duty trucks) but i had an uncle who bought a LOADED cheyenne super in 1973,this very thing happened,frame broke in two right behind the shock mount,73 was also the year GM forgot? to put any drain holes in the sheetmetal,was a rustbucket inside of a year! while under warranty GM put on a new cab,front clip,and eventually replaced the cargo box,all this took place inside a year,and keep in mind,this was a garage kept vehicle that never saw winter! go figger?..............Mark

    Guess i've been pretty lucky,never hit a deer, big truck or otherwise....my dad however was NOT so lucky! he bought a brand new Ford F-100 in 1976 (302 2-V,4 speed) this thing was his baby! he was coming home one night from where he parked his tractor,and out jumps a 200 pound buck! nothing he could do,kiiled the deer graveyard dead! totaled the pick-up,broke the frame just behind the engine mount,put Dad in the hospital overnight with a nasty bump on his head....he was sure pissed about wrecking his truck! Built Ford Tough? LOL!.............Mark

    All good info for reviving an old truck,one thing i always like to add is that i've been around old cars/trucks all my life,and it NEVER hurts to have a fire extinguisher handy just in case! jumpers can spark,fuel spilled etc........better safe than sorry in my opinion!.....Mark

    Rob,i agree,its hard to see in these pictures,but the "spiders" on the drive axles are actually chromed! and the wheels are painted with a "pinwheel" effect kinda reminds me of a barber pole............Mark

    Been trying to piece together some history on another RL-series truck that i always liked,this one has some "movie star" background,as it was in the movie "Moonfire" back in the sixties,on TV in "Movin-on" and was on the cover of Overdrive magazine about 6 or 7 times! just wondered if anyone could add some details to the story,what happened to it? who owned it? etc. It was painted several times,pretty much the same scheme,just diff.colors,and was pinstriped by a guy well known to the hot-rod crowd in the 50's and 60's "Von-Dutch"..................Mark

    I'm guessing what you are refering to,is the external plug for the engine block heater,under the side of the cab,looks a lot like a trailer connection plug? used to keep the oil temp.up in cold weather,and makes for easier cold starts................Mark
