Hickey's 1970 Farm Truck

[Hickey]

Got the Flowmasters on today. It's certainly more tolerable, but still pretty rowdy. I'm not crazy about the routing, but the long tube headers forced me to mount them low like this.

Also, this cool guy stopped buy to tell me my truck isn't a total POS.

So, car shows are cool.

Also, we comet-washed the truck and rubbed in some lindseed oil.

That looks so much different (and better)! My car that will be getting the same Comet/linseed treatment soon. What was the labor like?

It wasn't quite as much work as a basic wax job. We used the Scotch Brite side of the sponge for most of it. I mixed 30% mineral spirits with 70% boiled lindseed oil for the coating. That part actually goes pretty fast, and it doesn't take much to coat the whole truck. Less than a cup.

Lori’s truck looks killer

She finally rode in it yesterday. I was nice and didn't spin the tires.

In my defense, it's still not registered. A burnout isn't quite the attention I want.

You should hit that Tooele tech car show in Sept, they will have a dyno there too.

I'd be interested in trading this truck for a nice YJ.

Tempting but I wouldn't call my YJ NICE.

I dunno, it's a pretty cool YJ. I would definitely consider it.

I still have this thing, if anyone wants it. Haven’t done anything with it, but I did drive it to work this week. A YJ would make a better commuter for me.

Will please stop tempting me.

I'm keeping my YJ but trade for a boat? 😄

No boats. Possibly a jet ski

Please stop tempting me. I would love to build this but I don't think my wallet will appreciate right now.
