Ford has/had that ridge also. Looks like that truck has the indention down the side, which is a characteristic of the '70's fords. Also the curved windshield, and the shape of the cab, and the grille that wraps around (so to speak) on the fenders. Maybe its just me?
On another note my pop's has a junkyard full of the ol '70's fords and they look alot like that. Not to good with my year models though.

The only reason I remember that is because of all the d@mn '80's hits cd's commercials they used to play on the tube.
By the way I am in NO means trying to argue about what kinda truck that is. Just figured this is a Ford forum and if it was a Ford didnt wanna disgrace it by calling it a ol' shakybolt/chevy

Yeap, and he said we were drifting off into politics too much????? I don't think so cuz that would really get me going and we would really be guilty. I did not like the tone of it so we gotta be real careful. It almost sounded like he had not noticed this one and did not like the idea of an O/T thread at all. So like I said, let's tread lightly. If not we're going to end up associating with the rifraf out in the cold cold world.

It really was. Working on video uploads right now.

The C-17 fly by was spectacular as were the Thunderbirds (as usual). Other highlights was the hurricane hunter plane. We got to tour a plane that flew into Hurricane Ike and also got to talk to the pilot that flew her. He was just as thrilled to talk to us as we rode Ike out on the ground, just as he did in the air.

That Hurricane Hunter has some funny looking props on it, glad the day was a good one. I was nice, in the 70's I think but overall a very enjoyable day.

That's a Sir. Mixalot song, and is a staple of the 80's. I don't know anyone who grew up in that period that doesn't know every single word to that song.

I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothas can't deny, when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in yo face you get SPRUNG! YouTube - Sir Mixalot - Baby got Back ( I like big butts )

So I went over to my sister's house this afternoon, and this evening ended up helping her decorate the front of her house for halloween. I got talked into being in charge of the spider webs. Well I can be sort of a perfectionist when it comes to this kind of stuff so I got a little carried away, and her whole enclosed porch area got turned into a big spider web. So I find the fake spider, and decide I am going to hang him from some fishing line in such a way to scare people. I get it all tied up, and by this time my sisters and brother-in-law had the black light in and the fog machine going...I decided it was time to pull a little prank. I had a big hairy fake spider, on a string, it was dark outside....

So I casually walk outside, spider in my hand, and engage myself in conversation with all of them. I drop the spider onto the ground, no one sees, and I sorta, step away in the opposite direction. In the best acting I think I have ever done, I put on my surprised face and pointed at the ground where my fake spider was and yelled "Thats the biggest d@mn spider I've ever seen" and walked away, the spider of course came with me...and I have to admit it looked pretty dang real.

My little sister Holly SCREAMED, and jumped up and managed to balance herself on the back of the porch chair. My older sister Kim SCREAMED and said "Oh my god oh my god oh my god WHAT IS THAT". And then they both screamed again and started running around in circles. I probably could have kept the joke going but I broke up in laughter..but it was good while it lasted. I only wish I had it on video...

Oh and here is my Jack-o-lantern. It's a spider too, I guess thats just a coincidence.

they're called Scimitar props, just like the old arabian swords. They are a lot quieter and more efficient

Lisa, you have to be the coolest person I know, and I barely know you! A picture would have also been cool but a video would have said it all. Nice work on the jack-o-lantern!
