Congrats !!
I had to stare at that thing for most of my childhood. I remember having dreams that it was mine, even before I had a license to drive. I swore I'd never stop bothering him to sell it, and I'd never pass up the opportunity to buy it. It's finally mine and I couldn't be happier. Now... I just have to find some cash to keep it hydrated. LOL!

Don't worry, you will find the way to keep it Hydrated LOL... Like my 58... I believe you when you say you had dreams of owning it one day, I can SEE WHY... Definitely nice to here from a brother on the force, I'm a K9 officer for the last 11 years of my 20 on the force down in Miami-Dade County. I'm about 3 hours south of Disney and go all the time with my wife and two children, LOVE IT !!! Lot's of GREAT MEMORIES. Whatever you do, don't ever sell that CREAM PUFF !!! LOL....
Do you guys allow ride-a-longs? I would love to ride with you sometime. I'm sure it's WAY different than my Western Kansas gig. Our chases can be very scary at times. It's very flat and you can see for miles. Our Interstates are like drag strips. We HAVE to drive HEMI Chargers for that reason. We also have a lot of Redneck Patrollers, too! They drive the 4x4 trucks. LOL!

Your Welcome !!!
Thanks for the truck compliments! In the past, I've thought about applying with your department. My wife constantly bothers me about moving down there. She has a bunch of friends who live down there. Like I said before, we're down there once or twice every year. We went in September for about a week. I would move there, but I have so much invested up here.

retiredsquid thanks, mine is a 30x40 with a 12x40 lean to on the back for other stuff to be under cover. I got a deal on the carports and they are subject to code it property tax
We are almost neighbors, I live just north of Springfield Mo. I was born in Rogers and grew up in the Branson/Hollister area before joining the Army for 20 years. Nice to be retired at 38 and drawing a check.
Hang in there maybe someday?
My wife lets me have all the Ford trucks/parts/projects I want, just NO girlfriends. Fair deal in my book, cause SHE loves open headers and will get right in there on the inner fenderwell and ask "what you want removed" I say those valve covers are leaking, replace the gaskets.
Yep I love being married to her, here is HER project. Un cobble some PO front lift stuff. Drop 460, 8" lift, 44's and make that cage stay on there......and get outa her way.

Your Welcome !!! Well one good thing about Miami-Dade Police is it is a big Department and you can move around allot and interview for the job you like Detective etc... PLUS we are the Deputies of Miami- Dade so we cover all of Miami-Dade County which really a Large County but my philosophy that I have learned throughout the years is, If you have time invested up their then STAY PUT because their is the chance you might not like the CHANGE. YES we do Ride Alongs BUT you would have to ride with a PATROL UNIT we are out of the Tacticle Section and do not do that SORRY... We are transitioning from crown vics to Chargers now too OH WELL.. Any way I LOVE YOUR TRUCK and ENJOY it, and most importantly PLEASE BE SAFE OUT THEIR..

We've been known to put our pants on one leg at a time, just like Joe Citizen out there. I gotta go! I just heard someone say "donut!"
