    HUSKY TRUCKSTOPS :biggrin_2559: If you really miss them , go to CANADA they are still serving the same #40 gravy they did back in the OLD DAYS in the USA , think they took the pot holes from most of the parking lots and shipped them up there as well.

    Remember the days when everyone had his own custom gearshift knobs they had racks of them all shapes, sizes. And colors. Lol, i had metal flake fire engine red on the main box and metal flake yellow on the brownie and my brownie had extensions on it till it was a foot above the dash board and angled over to be above the main box..... I replaced the towers with brand new and took two days to learn to shift that tight new pattern lol friggin gears were not in the same places anymore. I miss the olden days. Us old bast--rds had alot of fun back in the day

    Years ago I secured an old Armstrong steering wheel. 23 1/2"?. Keep it in my shop hanging on a nail on the wall. That way when ever I have the urge to get back out on the big road I just grab that sucker and sit down and hold it in front of me like I was driving. Cures me every time.

    Omg, the wife is watching happy days, the episode where fonzie gets to meet the lone ranger. Lol

    i used to listen to the lone ranger on the radio. I was so suprised when i found out "tonto" in spanish means fool. Well more disappointed than suprised..... Leave it to the liberal aholes in hollywood to give our childhood hero a name like that.....

    I had the lone ranger cap gun belt with a silver bullet and the old fanner 50 pistol. Hi ho silver ,

    wow, trips down memory lane can sure be fun....


    Who was that masked man?????
