Running a few errands today and Mountain convinced me to follow the road less traveled. One day she will be as beautiful as the western North Carolina mountains she roams.

Looks like you have a really good Patrol to start with.

She is solid. I probably wouldn't even paint her if she was a single color. I really like that Patina and there is almost no metal work forcing me to address the body.

Yep. I can imagine her as a farmer's work vehicle years ago when this was all grazing land.

Great pictures. Good to see you out in the Patrol finally. You put a lot of work into it.






Dogs love trucks. :D

I'm not sure my dog knows what to make of it yet. It is more than a bit louder and quite a bit rougher ride than he is used to.

That's called personality. ;)

I'm sure that extra leaf spring stiffened up the ride. the Patrol suspension typically provides a pretty nice ride, when it's all up to snuff.

That patrol definately looks in its element in NC. Thanks for sharing Jon.
