Not sure I really needed a 25 in my life but then again, how do I know I don't NEED a 25 in my life? 
This truck has been around.....@Foxfab was its caretaker but now 'Odie' has a new home in sunny FL.
Delivered today.....got to crawl around it and drive it. Seems like an old friend as I poured over the pics of it since I bought it.....it was a long 2 weeks and I studied all the pics I could find. I wanted Odie to have an enclosed transport down to FL so we had to wait a little bit.....
So what's the plan with Odie? Not sure just yet. It's a great truck....seems very original and has a lot of the things that make 25s so cool. The last thing I wanted was a project where I was chasing unobtanium.....there are a few things I will search for.....(who has a bench rear seat collecting dust in their parts stash for me?)
Off the truck and in the driveway for a couple 'new born' pics.
@foxfab had some cool spare parts(and some stock ones) that were stashed inside......we unloaded those and removed the back window. BEAUTIFUL top on this thing. Going to do some cleaning on it with my detailer to get it looking good. Probably will seal it with some ceramic coating for material to help keep it clean.
Went for a drive.....really cool. @foxfab gave me some driving tips with the 4 speed(start in 2nd)....experienced a bit of, 'if you can't find them, grind them'......need to work on retraining my brain how to drive really old stuff. Forgot how much manual brakes suck. Shocked with how nice the truck drive. Runs great....smooth and it actually moved down the road pretty well. With all the cool noises and things going on, it's more a piece of equipment than a truck.
The stash of stock parts......and some aftermarket(truck has a lift on it....OEM springs were included too. Wish there was a rear bench seat in this pic
