lol um can i have your truck then? 8P

your forgetting something simple though, most "rednecks" are actually very good people. Much differint than what you find in big city's and suburbs.

if you where not a jerk while you lived near them they prolly won't be "happy" to see you go, more likely to just go w/ the flow

Had the weirdest dream last night, I was driving around in the truck talking to other fte guys on the c.b. (no one in particular) ran into another guy with one of our trucks and waved at him. Then in the dream I was screwing around in a gravel parking lot and did a couple of doughnuts and slid into a chevy imbeding my mirror into his door. I woke up afraid that I had hurt my truck.....!

6fifty I would have beat the crap out of the owner of the Chevy

Well at the beginning of the month I had 8 vechiles for sale, all that is left is my Ford truck. And going to pick up another Dodge van today, pretty crazy, in the last few months now I've bought 2 Dodge vans for under $1000 for the pair both darn near rust free both with 360's and everything works perfectly on them, it's even crazier they both are local wisconsin vehicles with under 130000 miles. What I get a kick out of is my van with the 360 can do the same work as my friends Chevy truck with a 454. I kept telling him to get a Ford truck with a 460.

On another note I'm glad it's spring, the last couple of days it's been around 30 degrees, rainy and windy as hell. I need a huge heated shed so bad. I got so many cars and parts in my shed that I only have room to work on one car at a time, and my source of heat is a little electric heater I carry with me.

Well I had money saved up to finish my 86 F150, but saw this Dodge van which is exactly what my brother was looking for. Got it for $500, 130,000 miles, 318 with OD auto, runs and drives with no issues and it only has rocker rust, which is easy to fix the rest of it it pretty nice. I'll get my money back, so the truck will be delayed for a little while.
