1600mi Road Trip! Only made it 20mi...

Great story, too bad you didn't get the chance to make the road trip home with the truck like you had planned, but you still got an adventure and met a couple of real good people. I am very impressed with the help you received from @pishta and @TT5.9mag , those are my kind of people.

Yea, I’m still a little bummed we didn’t get to make the journey... There was just too much to sort out. Did I mention the shifter linkage was a mess and the rag joint bolts would put the truck in park while turning left!! Dad just held the shift lever while we drove down the freeway so I wouldn’t turn and slip it in reverse!!! As for the help, words really do feel cheap. They are amazing people! It’s also amazing to me to see the talent that people have. They have a lot of awesome projects going!
