I told my friend who had just bought it and shipped it half way around the world to:
"go get another one, I am having this one !"
It took me 2 years to persuade him but he sold it to me in the end
He now has a 55 C****y, I reckon I got the best deal

When I saw it: "neat old truck!"
A week later: "How can there be no motor mounts?!"
A month later: "It does run!"
A year later: "Gee, it needs more than I thought"
4 yrs later: " Well, as long as I've gone this far..."

IndianDave,
That makes me laugh, especially since I had to tell the ol' lady last night that, yes, I just aquired another truck.
I'm an equal opportunity truck geek. I have my 49 F1. I picked up a 59 Dodge D100 that my 10 year old has his eye on, and last night I picked up a 66 Chevy that I think my 14 year old will enjoy
Too many trucks...........too little time
