    You and I and a bunch of other people here may have rolled that way in bygone days, but look at today’s truck.

    Air suspension, air ride cabs, power steering, shifting by turning a steering column stalk... Really?:rolleyes:

    Technology WILL kill us. It already is.

    I lived beyond Hope...………….

    There used to be a restaurant right on the water (lake Pend Oreille) in Hope called the Lighthouse, which made their own salad dressings. The salad dressings were so popular (Lighthouse Salad Dressing) that they began to just sell salad dressing and closed the restaurant down. They opened there plant in nearby Sandpoint and I believe they are still there.

    29 degrees outside, wind blowing 30-40, cloudy, think I'll just sit right here today.

    I agree, and I like older trucks, but I'm not sure about going back to no A/C and Armstrong steering. I had an 83 359 without power steering. I miss the truck, but not that aspect of it. At the time some guys would say that you just don't get the same "feel of the road" with power steering. My left elbow agrees, because it felt every bump in the road and the subsequent bump from the steering wheel!

    Thanks for correcting the spelling of it! I like it as well. They used to have a Roquefort dressing that was wonderful, but I haven't seen it for a long time.
