It finally lay to rest when the rear axal broke it's mounts to the leaf springs while driving and started to sway on it's own accord. The drive shaft didn't come out, but that didn't matter, the wheels and axal had slid around enough and chewed enough of the undercarriage up that I could no longer put it back together.

Though she only was mine for 6 months, it was a sad day when the flatbed truck came to pick her up. It's funny how you always seam to get attached to your first.
