Still planning to head out in the morning from Omaha. I'll have to be the odd-man-out and bring one of the cars, I don't really want to drive the 74 all the way down to KC.

According to Mapquest, when I get down to KC, I should take I-435 east to I-70 east and then take the Sterling Ave Exit (#10). Looks like Gates is just short distance off the highway. Hope that is right, Mapquest has given me bad info more than once!

 

Hey Rob, Have a good trip. Get some pics for us!

 

Heck with the pics lets bring back some BBQ.... Gates is my favorite place to eat down there. I love when that girl starts hollering at my wife and she freezes and orders the biggest thing on the menu. I laugh every time. I love the Beef on bun.. Have a good one.

 

Yeah, they do have great food. Is that the place where they yell at you as soon as you walk in"MAY I HELP YOU!!". Too funny!

 

I have the truck washed, fueled and everything staged to load tomorrow morning. Looks like a fast stop at Micky D's for a sausage muffin and I'll head that way.

 

Headed that way. Have ceeegars, cowboy music, and .............uh ............oh ya a box or two of goodies. I'll look for folks along the way.

 

Have a good time you guys!

 

Jack, Thanks again for setting up the meet. It was great to meet a few more Ford Truck Enthusiasts.

For all the guys that couldn't make it, you missed some fine BBQ and great door prizes!

 

Hey Rob, didn't talk to ya much, but checked out your gallery. The 74 is SHARP! Is there any rust on that thing at all?

Ryan

 

Ryan,
Unfortunately, the rust blends in pretty well, it's the same color as the truck... It's got rust in the typical spots, over the wheel wells and along the bottom of the super cab. I hope to get it taken care of pretty soon.

The inside of the bed is still rust free, not sure what's wrong there ??

The only thing I wish was that the truck was a 4x4...

 

It was a lot of fun to do. Wasn't anything real fancy. Stop poking me with that stick. Yup, I'll get to it in a minute. I know,................... I had a great time. Meet some really good folks. FTE sure has a lot good people that take time to come to these events. Makes me proud to be a member. Ouch!!!!! stop that. Pitchers???????? Well this is October and baseball has the playoffs and ...OUCH.......stop that. Yes we did have pitchers of soda pop at Gates....Ohhhhh. Pictures. Folks want to see pictures of the fun we had. Well why didn't you say so: http://www.mappyjack.com/KCGTG.htm

 

All right, who's the idiot that parked a PT Crusier in front of those beautiful Ford trucks?!?

 

Man that says something. When a FTE guy will drive a lowly PT to an event.

 

musta been some gutsy customer...
