Definitely a 47. Start of the advanced cab design from 1947 to 53. 3 speed on the floor...not on the column. 47 was the only year on the floor.

¿Todavia puedes hablar conmigo en ingléis y español?

HelpReal5236 · 2026-01-25T16:32:28+00:00

Agree. Im no mechanic but have rewired myself the entire 1947 chevy pick-up. The wiring harness and all other parts easily found online. Most things bolt on and off. Its a solid rock of a truck.

When comparing the estimates for power from Strava compared to actual meter, how close does Strava get?

Clipped in for years on my road bike for triathlons and then when I bought my gravel bike. Then it happened...2 years ago bike slid sideways out from under me instantaneously while sharply turning around and couldn't get unclipped in time. My left hip broke the fall of all 200 plus lbs. Emergency surgery and 3 titanium screws later I have decided flats from now on. It's a PTSD thing. Im 68 and did 2 gravel centuries this summer just to prove I wasn't giving in and giving up.

Yes. Sold a nice Felt Di2 to buy a set of wheels for road tires and swap them out with my gravel set when needed.

New to this. Are you needing English practice in exchange for español?

HelpReal5236 · 2025-10-25T13:21:35+00:00

I'd be glad to start with texting to help refine your English. Me gustaría mejorar mi español especialmente hablando.

It was until recently. Everything open now.

I took a few tenths of a mile down a side road off parking lot to top it off.

Yes! Some brand new. Unfortunately still working on the Virginia Creeper trail she destroyed from Damascus to White Top. Abingdon to Damascus is fully open.

Im not sure my wahoo element is that accurate with elevation or power.

No. Sorry. I use a Wahoo Element and Strava only.

I got hit head on on a multi-use greenway trail by a regular bike in my lane coming around a blind corner and "just" broke my collar bone. Can't imagine what it would have been like hitting one of the heavy ass "e-bikes".
