Joe,

Don't worry about it, we like to jab at each here all of the time. My jab was all in good nature. All of the guys here know who really run our lives, we do. My wife told me to tell you guys this

And I'm 20 years old I need help I think, but then I'm not married and girl friends don't complain.

If one old truck is beautiful 2 is twice as beutiful, omnce ou get to 16/17 call me then we'll talk about the help you need. Get the 57 driving then get the unibody driving then fix up one then the other, the'll look great

It's all good. She's known I've wanted a uni for over 15 years (married 28+). She gave me a stern look but she really understands me. Our first date in 1977 was to drag races over 300 miles from home. Our second date was to get new N50's for her brother's '68 big block/4 speed Mustang (he still has it!) and then we went and watched American Graffiti that night at the drive in. She really understands! We have 3 dirt late models (one of which we tore up Friday night 250 miles from home) so she's real understanding. Couldn't ask for more.

Anyway, she couldn't complain, we were back home for her family reunion when I found it. She understands me all too well!

Like I said, it's all good.

LM14, no wonder she`s a keeper, she does really understands you well.
Plus her brother's '68 big block/4 speed Mustang that he still has is too cool.
The second date watching American Graffiti must have been a very good sign, it was a great movie.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD.
Proverbs 18:22

My wife bought me my truck in 2003.
I just started working on it recently.
She passed away March 2005.

If ya got a keeper,,, give her a hug and let her know how special she really is.
Life is short.

So very sorry to hear of your loss, my wife came close to the same fate last year so I understand this all too well.

My wife was not real happy when I dragged my latest home(63 Ranchero). I said I got my own Bday present this year. She has now laid claim to it and wants to know when We'll be driving HER ranchero.

Damm, I'm speechless...... I've been married 35 great years. My wife knows more about old Fords than most of my guy friends. When my latest '49 showed up in the driveway, she was in tears because she loves the '48-'50.

So sorry to read your note........Shared sorrow is half-sorrow, shared joy is double joy.
