CRUISIN' WITH DEERSLAYER Roadtrips, cruise-in's and truck show stories and tall tales.

TONY'S DUNGEON Tony Pascarella's forum entries at OldGMCtrucks.com regarding Deerslayer, particularly the 302 GMC engine build in his farmhouse basement.

MAINTENANCE:

DEERSLAYER MAINTENANCE Ever changing detailing, oil change, lube, etc. maintenance routines specifically developed for Deerslayer, including required tools, materials and procedures.

I made arrangements to purchase Deerslayer in May of aught eight and drove him back from New York in september of the same year. The truck doesn't need restoration. I like it pretty much the way it is. Deerslayer has become the daily driver and the wear n tear of the Florida climate and daily drivin' takes a toll. These episodes will cover the day-by-day maintenance and ruminations as well as cruise-ins and shows that don't warrant their own roadtrip log entries.
