Nice man... great feeling for sure

It was a nervous but at the end very good day. Truck hadn't touched dirt in 6 yrs and the entire front end was new except the engine. No idea if the shock valving was even close. It rode good on the street, that's all I knew. Drove it 2.5 hours to the desert wondering if it would be good or horrible the entire way. Also wondering if something would break and I would have to tow it home. As soon as I hit the first small bumps I could tell it was better. Then after hitting bigger and bigger bumps I realized it was better than I ever thought the short wheelbase rig could be. Drove home happy to say the least. No issues and the even in big bumps, the carb didn't stumble one time! ;D

Hi,

I'm probably one of the few oddballs without Facebook. I hope you'll also post anything interesting here, too.

Thanks,

Jeff

Mark, did you buy the Fulton truck or did one of your customers?

I bought it. We are slowly restoring it as well as the Viva.

No facebook for me either, from what I understand that may be a good thing...
