1960 3/4 ton 4X4
Took the 1960 out today in the hills for a little overland rollin on a gorgeous Michigan spring day. Brought it in from Idaho 3 years ago and have been busy getting it running and driving. Had a little body work done and I painted it last spring the original Chrystal Green and Olympic white. It is now solid mechanically and runs like a champ. In 4 low granny it idles up 30 deg. grades. I don't think you could stop it. We regularly take it up to the lake in the summer, about a 70 mile drive trough the country side. At 50 MPH that is about as far as we have gone in one trip. We have gotten it to the point where it is reliable and have no worries of any issues on the road. I don't think we are going to do much more with it. For now I am going to enjoy driving it with my son and someday the keys are his. I am by no means a mechanic or have ever wrenched on anything. We have enjoyed learning about the truck and working on it together as a Father and son project.
Thanks to all who have helped us out with parts and guidance.
