You don't need no stinkin inspection, just drive at night.

ya'll better not make fun of my truck (it's looking more and more like i will i just renewed my insurance (main dilema) and next check will be for tags and inspection should be fine.....gona hopefully drive the 69' sence one the 4x4 isnt well legal and will be recovering from the truck rodeo....guess i better kick the dust off the 69' in late oct.? so it will look good for yall in nov.? this post didnt make sence and I am sorry

[wt4speed#2]

And if mine is not ready for the road I'm going across the street and ask the little old widow woman if I can drive hers. belonged to her late husband and she starts it about every 2 weeks and backs it to the end of the driveway and back to the garage door 4 or 5 times, racks the pipes 10-12 times puts the window shade in the wind and locks it up till next time

I've expressed interest in it should she ever decide to sell it

Just got a new job, can't risk taking off so early in the game but y'all get something a bit closer than the other end of the state from me, and I might be able to make an appearance.

Enjoy though and send pics!

I will be driving the purple people eater (my 71 short bed). My friends call it the PPE for short. Its rough but has a new motor and trans.

My Betty has only been a Sunday driver,...As soon as I get some touch up work done on it,I'm going to sell my rather comfortable(but a gas hog nonetheless) '97 crewcab and replace it with some basic four-door sedan for when I just do errands or need a four-seater,and I'l drive my Betty when I need a truck,....which is almost every day...

My son drives his '69 every day(I've gotta get him to join here,this place needs some young blood)....I had a good talk w/ him yesterday...gas went up about $.75 a gallon since he started driving it,and I asked him if he wanted to go back to his Nissan because fuel is so much....He told me "no way"...So once in a while I hand him a twenty and tell him to put it in his tank....which is usually good for maybe two days of driving for him,...and a few extra chores done around the house....

[Joe Kriston]

Whoops....How did that happen?....The above post was supposed to be in the 'how much do you drive your truck thread'...Must be demons running around here...Oh,well,...you Texans and Okies try not to have too much fun without me at the m&g....

Well we are waiting for Mary to Pop out the Baby......

Keith and his Wife are expecting a Baby around the first of Oct. and he was going to come South to Houston to see his Family and stop by here for a day and we were going to have a little Baby/FORDification Party.

So everything is up in the Air on the Exact Day.It's going to be a wait and see but it should be around Mid November.

Wish I could tell you more but it's all in Mary's hands,or should we say Stomach.....


Keith,
Don't let Mary read this OK....
