I really do like that this Troopy has the wide nose body yet the older dash. You could actually get 70-series like this the first few years of the wide nose, so like 2008-10’ish. See what I mean about the black/grey dash and now door cards...

I'm getting ShortE sorted out to put up for sale. I have other Saudi trucks inbound I need to pay for and enjoy a while like I did this one. My list of goofy stuff I need to fix. The clutch springs were worn. Done. The speedometer cable...

I always wanted to polish this thing out when I was working on it for the original owner but he loved the original from Saudi look. I find it a bit dull so I'm giving this thing a deep polish to see if this 33 year old paint will do. Washed...

Back to this thing..... I am between major projects so I'm going to prep this 75 for sale. Lockwood had the underside full of Florida so I got it up in the rack and got it back to Saudi clean

Test day is going great. My tire man is 45 miles away so this day has been a solid good day for testing. Truck runs great. Temps creep up to 210 in this heat but the minute you get off the interstate it cools back down under 200. Fixed fan...

Got the truck out and about with some fresh gas. Runs great. Speedo is 10mph slow. It scoots nicely. I'm taking it to the gym tomorrow to get some miles on it.
