Yes. But have fun anyway. A buddy and I drove his newly purchased '64 2A from Ft Leonard Wood, Mo to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Google maps says 919 miles. We took a tool box and a change of clothes. Had to deal with a flat tire situation without a jack but that was the worst problem we had. Met some funny folks in some funny places on the road back. Everyone will want to know what you're driving and will ask all sorts of questions. Settle back, slow down, enjoy the ride.

By the way Scott, my buddy just got back from a 3100 mile loop thru the west in his '68 Marshall ambulance. A forgotten fill plug, a thrown belt, and having to re-lube his speedo cable were the minor problems he had to deal with. We met up in Utah on his way home and wheeled the snot out of the ambi in the Maze district of Canyonlands. At our last campsite at Natural Bridges Nat'l Monument we snapped a short side axle backing the ambi onto a rock to level it. Pulled the broken bits that evening. Next day buttoned evrything up, used a wine cork to plug the hole in the center of the drive flange, and drove her home on front wheel drive. I posted the trip on the sightings/camping forum.
