    Just thinking about maybe buying a few of Dad's old trucks from him, putting in new engines, going over the rest of the trucks, and putting a few drivers in them.

    My father’s prized GMC with a 100 foot Skyhook boom mounted on it that he did electrical sign work with had a 427 and a 2-speed rear. He was rather upset when they finally retired that truck and stuck him in an F-model Ford with a Cummins.

    I believe Fords ran 429s and 460s. For those who wanted diesels there were the 8.2L Detroit and the 3208 Cat.

    Apps no good when there’s only 3 gas stations for 30 miles each way.

    Anybody else running tomorrow besides me?

    This was a tough week, but at least tomorrow’s run is gravy.
