and the fellers at BMT all chipped in and bought it for you, so i only cost the gas to drive there and back. what she dont know wont hurt us.  😁

Now that's a plan!

The problem is Jo-Jo already has an old IHC gas job. The big gassers are hard to justify to just take to shows. Nice, yes but expensive to insure, feed and register. His K-7 on the other hand, is of a size that you could actually used it for the occasional parts run or something. 

I have had a gas Fleetstar for a while before I parted it out. Only thing it got used for was a yard goat, spinning trailers around. My K-7 has done much more.

I'm not knocking the truck at all, just that few can afford the luxury of a show queen that only goes to shows, takes up a lot of room,  and the case of a 549 is expensive to run.

Smaller antique truck can give about the same thrill and is easier on the wallet. 

It likely why so few of the bigger one survive. 

Other dog found it didn't fit him all that well either.  

There is a guy on another site that has one as a grain/farm truck. A little more options there to put it to use.
