Ok this is my intro to the 85 world. I got an 85 one owner Az truck. No definite plans but want to build and update with my son. BTW he's ready for the 85 to be his, he's only 12...Today we were headed to Uwharrie to stretch her legs. Boy and I packed the rig last night (Spare tire, hi lift jack, water, jumper cables, portable air compressor, first aid kit, duct tape, electrical tape, extra oil, antifreeze, and stuff...). Woke up early squirrly this am. Boy was up and ready no issues....how come he can't be this excited for school. Hmmm. O dark 30 and we're rolling. Ok so my dash is dark who needs to know exact speeds anyway. Ten minutes later boy is hungry and I need coffee. Biscuits and ok now I'm feeling awake. Time to get back on the road. Love this time of day, sky is beginning to lighten up, stars are bright and its super quiet. Uwharrie is on our mind lets go. As the boy and I settle in the cab of the 85, elbows almost touching, springs in the seats providing a less than luxurious support but that's all part of the allure of the older trucks.
