I just thought it was appropriate, because many of our trucks were born in those places. How about somewhere along the Mississippi for our central meeting point?
i dont need a nimble truck, i need one that will punch through brick walls.
How is this. It is a 1975 F-600. It has a 19 foot, extreme overkill, flatbed. The entire truck is about 30 feet long. It also has a 9,000 pound winch. It has hauled dozers and I fit a crewcab F-350 longbed on it with no problems.
I believe it to be a 477c.i. motor. She has a 4-speed also. It was a uhaul truck and then modified. We have done nothing to the driveline. It sits more than it is used, but when you turn the key she comes right to life. We have driven it about seven hundred miles total. I got it for a hundred bucks and drove it 67 miles with three flat tires. A neighbor gave us some mud tires that we put on the back. You can not help but grin from ear to ear when driving it. Original radio still plays through the original speaker.

She is a tough old girl.
its trucks like this that make me LOVE ford more and more.
Redheads are more dangerous than nitro, and I've seen my share of blond drivers. Brunettes are really the only way to go.

X2 to both of these comments.
Redheads can be hot, but I have enough to worry about outside of my trucks cab. I don't want to have to dodge flying projectiles coming from inside the cab as well.
what about somewhere Kentucky or Tennessee? centrally located and I would think that there may be large areas of farmland that have been deforested. At least I know a lot of Indiana is like that.
Sounds good man, about equal distance from anywhere in the country, except for Alaska of course.

Hmm, I think my Pink Princess would be great for that: hot as hell, real nice personality, and deadly accurate with the M107. Also comes equipped with said Barrett, an AKS-74U assault rifle, an assortment of sidearms, and a loose-fitting kevlar vest (cause apparently her "assets" don't quite fit in what most folks that skinny would wear) - all painted in bright pink to match her hair, hence her nickname. Altho I'm pretty sure she'd have her hands full over in Africa once the fit hits the shan, so I gotta figure out how to get her over here first... however knowing how them mercs operate, they probably already got a transport plane on standby

Eh, idk, I'd say we agree to disagree on that. Then again there is my avatar, and also the only other person I'd trust driving my trucks just so happens to be alight-brunette girlie, well her gradnpa was whom I got the W900 from after all, but also how often do you meet a chick who can drift goosenecks around slippery interstate merge ramps? She has an old 4x4 Chevy tho, and I'm sure she won't leave it behind... Do we take Chevys in our convoy?

All I gotta say is welcome to our zombie-eradication team

Sounds just like my big truck... which is really all I ask of her.

Don't know any redheads, so I wouldn't know. Semi-albinos with pink-dyed hair tho, those pose no threat unless really really really pissed off - but then you're dead, so nothing to worry about either way, lol.

Nope, no zombies involved in this yet, unless you count those of us who roam the intrawebs in the small hours of the night looking to pick other people's brains (not for food tho)
first today, slap an 8-71 detroit, and an 450 4X4 front axle in that 600 and ill drive it.
also, i think we should meet in my home town or one of the town neighboring it. population of all three combined is less than 500 people. there IS a forest, but it would be a good place to get fuel more than anything. we could also set camp at one of the schools.
i really dont think chevys should be allowed, except maybe for a temporary escort...
Home base might need to be a cruise ship in the middle of the Mighty Mississippi. The strong current would carry away the swimmers and let everyone get a good nights sleep.
