Man, you guys are a riot, I especially love the line about the blinkers Brian.
ftl8ford, Yea, the truck is driveable, but hey, I am the part owner of a 68 stepside that's been sitting for 8 years (since I joined the Navy) that should count? And I did get dirty today. I reflowed the solder on the radiator tank, it split and someone tried to fix it with plumbers putty (I swear!).
Bobby, thanks, I dig the Torque Thrusts too, don't think we'll part ways anytime soon. Those were purchased and installed in 1959 (I have the receipt).
Col, thanks, I will keep that in mind!
And again, thanks for all the warm welcomes.

Another characteristic of southern drivers is we are extremely polite and patient! If we are behind you at a traffic light and you don't notice when it turns green we will not immediately lay on the horn. However eventually we may give a little friendly toot after the third or forth cycle thru just to be sure you don't need a doctor or something. As soon as someone blows their horn without following it with a friendly wave of greeting, we immediately think "he ain't from around these parts, don'tcha know...". 
nother lesson you need to know: Y'all is said as one sylable rhyming with shawl not YAH-ol. And we don't care how they did it wherever you came from! (unless you want to have it suggested that you are welcome to go back there just as quick as you came!)
Advice from a born Northerner who now call the South home and the North where I used to live before I got smart!

It either jest "barbacue" (it's a noun NOT a verb) pork is assumed! or possibly "pulled pork at a pig pickin" 'n it's always served with hushpuppies and slaw. An' it's WHITE, basted in vinegar and peppers. No self respectin Eastern Barbacue would have gooey red stuff on it!

but no self-respectin SOUTHERN BBQ would lay under anything but a thick red sauce...
and top it off with a nice slice of chocolate pie and sweet tea...
