Pretty cool, I think. Ditch the wheels for some more period correct ones & call it good.

If I could swing the coin I'd have driven it home already. A vintage crew cab diesel with a bombproof manual? YES PLEASE.

and you would never have to worry about it rusting out there. I bet it could be had or built cheaper though

That body would be hard to find, but I'm sure it could be done. I wouldn't want to pay asking price for it, but it's probably worth it to someone. My boss has a '72 Dodge 200 4x4 crew cab, an ex- CalTrans rig with a 360 that we put Holley injection on. Pretty cool truck.

Ain't that always the problem. I'm at 8 & desperately need to get back down to 5 or so. I can't keep up with them, but it just happens. I think I'm finally going to cut the Vanagon loose, maybe sell the scaffolded 4000, and definitely am selling the Outback, which I currently have the engine out of.
My boss' 200 used to be CalTrans orange, but he had it painted white. Should have left it orange.

I havent been at 8 since high school, when it was all air cooled, with the random water cooled thing thrown in for good measure. Damn man. Did you return the fairlane yet?

Nope, she's mine for now. The dude is out of monies but I told him he has first rights to it & to let me know. Just got some exhaust work done yesterday to get rid of the blown out Cherry Bomb. So nice & quiet now. Think I'm going to go ahead & get the floors squared away next, that shouldn't be too big a project.
Edit: Part of my car number problem is that I'll probably never sell my 2002 or Lancia, so at bare minimum we'd have 4. And I'm too sentimental about the Vanagon so I've dragged it along with me all these years, which makes 5 minimum all this time.
