    Out of the Ordinary - Truck Show
    « on: September 25, 2011 - 03:50:49 PM »
    My brother has a 61 Jeep pickup that our father bought the year I was born. In 1962 we loaded up everything we owned of any value into that truck and moved from WV to VA. He just finished a load of bodywork and paint, so this weekend, I went with him to a truck show to show it off a little.

    Here he is with the Jeep, and another Jeep that showed up a little later.

    This is really neat, something my brother pointed out to me. This old truck has 1) a second transmission in front of the rear for a multi-speed rear, and 2) chain drive from the axle to the hubs.

    Pretty neato, Dave.  Looking at that rear chain drive reminds me of the old go karts/ mini bikes!

    Yeah, I'm a big guy  :bigsmile:

    The Challenger was at my brother's place. It's been moved, which I might as well announce tonight.  :grinyes: A few weeks ago I pulled the motor and trans and sent the car to Tony Miller for some light body work and, most importantly, paint. I might as well start a thread.

    Long story, but I had meant to get pics of the car being loaded, and I ended up being very busy with that process, then I got doused with gas, so little chance to pick up a camera  :grinno:  Thread started.
