Actually that is a nice truck. It's like mine, except for the frame and dual wheels on mine. How many miles on it??? Why is the exhaust rotted? Isn't it stainless, a cheap grade of stainless? Mine was, couldn't cut it off with a torch.

so far i have a trade offer for a custom bike, and another for a 1993 mustang 5.0, real clean body, and if its a notch back thats my favorite car of all time. too bad i need the money!

in other not so great news, i am typing from the surgery waiting room in stamford hospital. dad fell 11' from a foundation wall to concrete, not sure how i think he took a bad step from the ladder to the wall. they reset his shoulder, and he is now in surgery for the broken femur. there is a fracture in the shoulder that they will need to go back in for but its not a concern right now. thank god his head and neck are fine, and somehow his wrist is just badly bruised, there may be a fracture but he will need to go to a orthopedic surgeon after the swelling is down. not a fun night to say the least.

Sorry to hear about your father's accident Aaron.

I spent over three months in traction in Stamford Hospital, back in 1984.
