56,

You should have created one more category entitled "geezers". Then us old "retired" guys like me and Dick would have had a category.

Ditto on the Geezer part. I turned 60 this year. I belong to the "Old Farts Racing Team" here in Riverside and I'm right in the middle of that pack.

Thanks to all who voted. No matter our age we all share one common interest in the preservation of these old Ford trucks. I'm truly happy to be part of the history. Shoot maybe when I become a member of the geezer club I will finally have my truck finished.

Almost 24. And I thought I was one of the youngest in this section. It's good to know there are other young guys out there taking care of these old trucks.

British invasion and musclecar era
Disco child of the smogchoked 70s
Born during Bighairbands and rise of computer controlled cars

Just barely middle age at 36. Wait, I can't remember. Let me check my drivers license? Now, where did I put that wallet? Found the wallet, now why was I looking for it again??
