Default My boomerang just came back

To start with, let me say that this F350 I drove home yesterday is not a good fit on this particular forum. I just thought my friends here might enjoy it. Also if the link doesn't work, then maybe someone here can go to youtube and search '59 F350 comes home' and post up a proper link. I built this old beast from a couple of different truck about 10 years ago and three years later sold it to a guy on the island. I spotted the pristine 9' flareside box with Merc tailgate for sale whe we were passing through Spokane Wa on a vacation. Then I bought a '59 stakebed truck to put it on. Then the sterling 10 1/4 rear axle from a '92 F350 along with a cummins 6at which I mated to a gm sm465 four speed. Anyhow the owner hadn't driven it since 2022 as the starter went bad. I ran into hime at the lumberyard and the subject came up and we arrived at a price sight unseen. Yesterday we pull started it and I drove it home the 20 miles with a HUGE grin I couldn't wipe off. Still can't.
