I once read a story of a guy who drove cross country off paveent in a 20s or 30s car. I was searching to find it again to no avail. It was a great tale. But I do think it took several weeks along with some creative wrenching.
Congrats on the truck - I'd love to have something like that one day too. The closest I ever got was a 1970 F100.
Glad to hear the SC stayed in the US. The 30 year classic registration pulls a lot of the SCs to Germany these days.
