My dad needs to come down in a couple of days. If he drives down in his truck, I might take a stab at picking up the 68 Chevy.
I'll have to equip his truck for towing. He does not have a tow ball or trailer lights wiring, but buying that stuff will be cheaper than renting a truck. I can rent a car trailer and we might run out there Wednesday.
I still have to get a tire mounted and replaced on the 68, too. I have a tire that might fit on the 68 wheel I pulled off last week. It was supposed to be used for The Talker's Tire swing, but it is almost brand new. I would much rather see that tire on the truck than on the swingset.
I would love to get the truck here, even though I won't be doing any real work to it for a while. I could at least start getting it cleaned up and get a better idea of where to start. And maybe even get it into the garage.
If I don't use dad's truck, then the 68 will be sitting for a while.

Does your Dad still have the brown truck?
Put the newer tire on the 68 and use the older tire on the tire swing.
Hope your plans work out.

Nope. Dad has gone through a couple of trucks since then. That was a 1976 Chevy Longbed with camper package on it. He bought a 1990 Ford F150 single cab when I was in college. Now he has a 2000 F150 extended cab.
And nope to the tire swing, too. That bad boy was so busted that I gladly paid the $2 disposal fee when I got it changed out.
Heck, it already had an inner tube in it and one obvious repair on the tire, I saw at least two patches on the tube, too!
And it wasn't brown. It was Burnt Orange and Ivory. This is Texas, forgodssake.
