750 mile recovery on the horizon

[snakehunter1964]

Good evening folks and congratulations are in order. I'm planning a road trip to pick up my first deuce from another SS member.

My trip will take me from Dallas TX to Columbus GA and back.

The chase car is getting prepped and I hope I have everything I need for general emergencies but if anyone can point me to a thread with good info I would be eternally grateful.

I'm looking at a 1987 M35A2C which looks to be in fine shape. lonesome715 tells me it should make the trip fine and I believe him but I surely know that Mr. Murphy will be along for the entire trip and I'm sure hoping to stack the deck a bit on him and pick up a few contacts along the I20 corridor that I might call on for some friendly assistance in the direst of circumstances.

All advice is greatly appreciated and any provided support will be amply rewarded with a case of the choicest brew of your desire!

I'm excited to finally get to join the M35 club.



Pics will be provided after I make it home!

Nice! Safe trip.

Picked up my 1st round draft pick today.

Wow, what an awesome day.

After a 750 mile trip, I am finally the proud addict of my first deuce.

Made about 300 miles towards the journey home.

I can honestly say a 300 mile grin is hard to wipe off.

Special hats off to C&C equipment for getting me a set of filters hot shot to my pickup point!

You guys are great Clinton!

Awesome I'm glad everything went well. Are you planning your next recovery yet?

 

[velociT]

Stay safe.

Good looking truck you got there...

 

[clinto]

Haha, I love the Wendy's shot!

 

[srodocker]

i love those tires!....

 

[ccequipment]

glad all went well

 

[snakehunter1964]

Thanks to all.

The restaurant shots are for my scrapbook so I can remember the places I stopped

The tires are Michelin 11x20s and while I've never driven the NDTs I must say these handle very well for their tread pattern. Plus, I can run 50-55 quite comfortable and the truck is just loafing in the low 2000 RPM range.

An oh yeah...I just GOTTA get me a 5 ton now!
