Pictures Taken at Corker Tire Cruise In Sept 13, 2014

I drove Blue down to Chattanooga to the semi annual Corker Tire cruise in. Toured Honest Charley's speed shop and Corker facility. Very nice crowd, perfect weather.
Most of you will recognize Fun Ford, Kevin's beautiful yellow machine.

Some nice looking trucks there!

No pics of Blue?! Did you put it in the show? How'd it do on the trip?

I forgot to take a picture of Blue or the pretty yellow F1 that was right in front of her. She did fine. We'll have to settle for this older picture. It is just a cruise in format, nothing formal. The best way.

The red F2/F3 has an exhaust cut-out. Anything special under the hood?

Aluminum heads, single carb. I did not hear it run. It appeared to be a truck that got worked quite often.

I like your F4. Do you have a later rear axle in the truck? The rear wheels look like 16" or 16.5".

Thanks. The rear end is a Dana 70 with 4.10 gears and 16 inch wheels. Front and rear tires are about the same diameter.

Great pictures, thanks. In the picture of the yellow F100, through the back window can be seen the front of a red car. I'm curious, can anyone tell me what that is.

Appears to be a mid 50s Metropolitan.
