If you ever need to go for a longer drive, get on 65 and stop in Elizabthtown, Ky. Heck I'll buy you lunch. I made it to Franklin in 2 hrs so it wouldn't be bad for you. maybe we could get Terry out of the woods for a day.

I am planning now to take her back where I got her from. I bought this truck in Bowling Green not far from the Corvette plant. I registered for the good guys show @ Beech Bend. Speaking of Terry have you heard from him lately? I havent seen him post on here in a while. Thanks

I dream of the day I can get the panel truck on the road. Didn't get much done this summer except adding a 80 ga compressor. Still hope to get some done this fall before the cold sets in.

BTW -- great looking truck!!

Jeff

Donald,

I remember when you put the steelies on your truck. Its interesting in these two pics to see what a difference it made. It was an awesome truck to start with but the addition of the steelies made it world class.

Bobby

Tacson, about the beech bend trip, well Linda just got the dates together last night with family and no I won't be at beech bend as we leave the 6th and return on the 20th but i'm ok with that I get to go to a pretty good local show on the 4th. We really do need to visit the family down there cause they're older than me. Maybe next year, Garry

Don, I am planning on coming up there that weekend. I will be driving the truck to Ft Worth in a few weeks so pray for me. Are any of the Nashville boys going to Bowling Green? I will either head to Pulaski this weekend or the Rumble in Lebanon. I will imagine that you will have to work.

Rodney I have vacation that weekend both days. Once I get off from my part time Friday evening I am heading up. Already have a room reservation. Planning to stay all day Saturday and head home about 6ish. It is about 90 from BG to down here in Murfreesboro. I will call you the Wednesday before. Safe Travels on your way to Ft Worth. If you get in a bind call me I will throw out a "trucker down" here and get someone to help you out.
