Re: The Daily Driver
I wonder how many years of driving "Merlot" it is going to be before I start throwing firewood in the back to haul it home from the bush. I'm now in the second summer season of driving him after a ten year resto, and nothing gets put in the box without a rubber mat going in first. Still I only haul some luggage for a weekend and a couple of bag chairs, and nothing is close enough to the front panel or the sides to touch them. Still having fun driving though, rain or shine, but no snow! Byron, in Ontario.

Re: The Daily Driver
I agree; reversed eye mainleaf, slider buttons between the leaves, and leave out the 2 shortest spring leaves. This should really improve the ride also. JMO

Re: The Daily Driver
I am going to drive my 35 PU pretty often now that it is "finished" and just have fun with it.

Re: The Daily Driver
Still driving mine daily [unless raining] been a few years now. Tony I have no problems keeping up with modern traffic, usually passing most here.. Braking, a big set of Lincoln drums and a power booster stops pretty damn quick.
Biggest problem I have now is Im just not getting "Henry" hot enough in winter, looked at the breather last oil change, rusty and crap inside also more evidence of sludge building up in the bottom of the pan..
