Yeah the Nova had a long hood as well. Plus that big square(gas hogging) Emblem on the hood. Luckily mine was off the ground a little. If it was that long with a lowered stance i'da Messed something up bad.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

re: If these old trucks could talk
If mine could talk I'd tell it to shut the heck up! 
I mean, virtually every piece on my project truck is from a different donor vehicle, so there'd be so many voice going on that I'd go into auditory overload!

re: If these old trucks could talk
I think mine would tell me, "Thanks for the last 37 years, and here's to the next 37!"
My dad bought this truck in october of `68, almost 3 months to the day after I was born. I've turned most of the bolts and nuts on her at least once, yet still know so very little about it all. Hauled many a deer home after successful hunting trips, and lots of fish too. Moved many a friend, and myself as well, many times. Pulled a few cars out of ditches, helped people get unstuck in the snow. Spent many years working hard for me, while I was working construction. Hauled many a load of firewood for friends/family. Had kittens born in the bed, when it still had a canopy on it and me and my cat were "between" pads years ago. Brought my newest passion home from the ForwardAir terminal last November.
She doesn't say much to me, as we've experienced so much together there's nothing much to say, really, except for the little nitpicks about what needs to be fixed when, etc.
The odd thing is, I don't think this truck has ever left the state of Washington, not once (that I can ever remember). Been all over it, and covered most of the map here, but she's never crossed the borders.
That's one thing she does ask for...
