Hey, Y'all!

I haven't dropped in on this bunch in awhile. Those of you who remember me, I still have Grover, and I still use him as a truck is meant to be used!

Wow, Don Neighbors! That is the understatement of the year! It must have been 10 years since I've seen that blue 54 truck here abouts!

Show us pics. Any improvements?

Nope, I haven't made any improvements to Grover, though he could sure use the attention. Money's been tight, and it seems every time I want to do something major, I need to put him to work.

Morotbreath, you ought to see the load of brush I have in the bed right now! I just might take a picture.

Abe, I have made one change: I out a set of rims from an '88 F20 on Grover because (1) the original rims were in pretty bad shape; and (2) so I can put wider tires on him.

These trucks were work horses long before they were restored beauties. Grover is just as happy as a clam if you ask me!

I don't use him a lot, but he's there when I need him. When I went looking for an old Ford before I bought Grover I wanted one with an 8-foot bed. I didn't realize that in '54 that bed length was only on the F-250s. Who am I to complain about the extra weight capacity?

Better, he starts when my other cars won't.
