NIOLON, so well said my friend. Fively???? thats new one. Anyway , yes there are cookie crumbs on my shirt, more than ever, I actually spent the day putting in the seat belts that are no name new in the truck, ( I just knew that I would get locked up (or in) sooner or later). Many a cookie has been enjoyed in my shop. Hehehehehehe

I think I need a tissue.....
I have tears streaming from my eyes, you guys are all too much. I guess I walk both sides of the fence. The fire truck is stock (very light sided), and the semi is, well I think it's in the burnt category...late model frame, CAT diesel 5x4 tranny, etc, etc. If I play both fields, do I get cookies. I guess I can be the mediator between the two sides. I am open minded, and accepting of all the ideas and engineering that went into ones build, after all, ones truck is an extension of ones self. Is it not? A truck is built by the enthusiast as a form of more appropriate self gratification, and as long as the better half is ok with the investment, then it is not unauthorized self gratification. If you build it, they will come. If you can't picture it in your head, you'll to need to bring your own cookies. If you have no imagination, then you will need to focus inward, and find your inner child. If it's a baby inside you, then I guess you will be destined down the path of innocence, and may never find the courage to venture to the fence. If it's a teenager inside you struggling to find your place in school, but you like the cheer leaders ( I sure did), but like the shackled up muscle car doing burnouts in the school parking lot ( I did that too), then you may find your way over the fence. Perhaps we should tear down the fence in our minds, and let the whole world see what is on the other side. Be it the greener grass, or the bigger BBQ, or maybe it's the half mowed yard with oily foot prints cutting a path to the grille that has thick black smoke billowing out form under the lid......Dang it, I lost my train of thought. Oh well.

You have admire the famous Himmelberg and his wisdom of words. I haven't got a clue what he's talking about? but it sure sound nice. When I first came on to FTE a few years back, I was known as a "darksider" because my truck was not original and slightly modified from original. Guys, like Fenders and others used this term frequently and newbies rarely knew what the language was in here... or what the subject was about. Now, I'm getting the hunch that newbies here are changing it around to state that "darksiders" are those whose run anything but a Ford engine in their trucks. Now we even see "waydarksiders" or fardarksiders". Not sure what that all means?
Those of you who suffer from rectal cranian disfunction should have no problem understanding the "darkside".

"Waydarksiders" ??? "fardarksiders" ??? are not terms I've seen around here much but must refer to the level or depth of the customization.
There've been a bunch of 'lingo' used on this board that has a one time application or fits a particular situation... Why there have even been songs composed and poems written about some members. Few have hung on as long as darksider or cootie-bob. Those are classics and should be considered for inclusion by Webster... if he ever gets the pictures of his truck on board..
Penn Dick has always been our historian and story talker. I defer any definition explanations to his authority. I think he has a link to every good thread this board has ever seen and can recall it verbatim.

Rocketing forward to the twenty first century we find the much smaller galaxy of 48-60 F1, F100 and Larger F-series trucks. Within this galaxy reside the very sage high priests of the forum, Penn Dick, handsome Bob F and his cousin John of Niolon, all struggling with the strong pull of personal statement on their trucks.
Bobby and Randy Jack and Donald struggle to keep the 48-60's going forward in the absence of Obiwan Fenders and Kai of the autobahn. A young 48-60 knight from the Canadian outlands may be our only hope. "Nathan... " , the call goes out from his trusty sidekide who is much Loweralso.
Tune in next week to find more clues as the saga unfolds, answering the question, "What is the Darkside, master?" Patience grasshopper.
seriously, himmelberg

Aww yes! the cottie bobbin- still not sure what that meant? I remember the term "girly" powered, which meant you had a small block instead of a Big block. Fatfenders was unique to say the least. Boy I miss him. I recall he called his beloved truck "Precious". In one pictures I laughed so loud and I still recall it. The topic was, "is this lower enough Fergie?" He had front view of his truck with a Barbie doll standing up along with a tall neck beer bottle so you could see the height of the front end. Here's one of his masterpieces too.
Board’s a bit slow today. Sing to the tune of “The Hokey Pokey” for maximum enjoyment.
He put the Volare in, he pulled the straight axle out, he put the Volare in, and he hyped it all around. The stockers say he’s loco there just isn’t any doubt, that’s what he’s all about.
He does the front clip Pokey.............. they say he muuuuuuuust be joking!
He put the Big Block in, he pulled the Big Block back out, he put the Big Block in, but he’s really havin’ doubts. Exhaust just isn’t fittin’ and feels the need to shout. That’s what it’s all about.
He does the front clip Pokey.............. they say he muuuuuuuust be joking!
He welds the frame rails in, he pulls the Volare out, He puts the M-2 in and he hypes it all around. The rodders know he’s crazy, of this there is no doubt. That’s what it’s all about.
He does the front clip Pokey.............. we’re askin’ whaaaaaaaat’s he smoking!
