Little off the tech subject......
....but just got back from spending a week in the Sedona/Grand Canyon area of AZ. Nice country but I was floored by all of the old ford truck out there. Bad paint fade but no rot at all unlike Ohio. I must have seen 40/50 different ones in 6 days. Alot of late 60's and alot of late 70's with less of the
in-between years. Real cool to see.

I know what you mean. I moved from Detroit to Phoenix in 98, and was astounded at first by all the 60s and 70s vintage cars and trucks around. When you start looking, though, you realize that they've often suffered more than just paint fade. Often, the dashes and interiors - anything vinyl or rubber - have badly deteriorated or disintegrated from the sun. If you're lucky, you find one that was kept out of the sun. Still, the metal doesn't rot away, so clean and straight body panels are easy to find.
I moved to Memphis in 99 after just 16 months in Phoenix, but I get back on occasion. I'm seriously thinking about driving out there next Spring for the sole purpose of buying parts.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-Sep-01 AT 03:55 PM (EST)[/font][p]I have lived in San Antonio, TX for the last 2 years. The same thing here. Most of the ones I have seen here though have been ranch trucks, work trucks, and the like. Its a shame sometimes. But my friend drives a very nice 58 I think. Running board and the whole nine yards. Back in the day where power steering? What's that?
