They say if you leave the top off the can the beans will eventually spill.

So some who have known me long enough are aware my first vehicle was a 1972 FJ55 that I bought before getting my license. Well it’s been a novelty for a while but when a conversation about wheels and tires sparred a few more pieces of metal in the deal I thought it made sense to give George a chance to have same model truck one day. Based on current kids ages the change made more sense for me. I know the previous owner took great care of the truck and I look forward to having him back in the truck whenever he wants to take it out.

Love it! I smell bacon!!! Maybe because the PO???? Hahahaha. Should be a great project to work on slowly over the years and still drive in the meantime.
