    Stepps moves alot of stuff here in Florida. They have put some miles on them. Good classics to refurb. Id rather refurb than run the junks today that are new

      As long as you don’t rev it up too high immediately after start up , but it’s actually better for the engine because it gets the oil pressure up and delivers it to all the vital parts , that’s why the engine manufactures recommend as little idle time as possible , when idling at 800 plus rpm’s it supplies the engine with good oil pressure

I get that walk through my eyes sometimes. Twoo and best thing to do is just keep one truck. It wouldn't attract park the road part. The other truck can keep one cause. I know you said in the past. You wanna have an old 379?But I don't remember if you wanted a lawn hood or a short hood
