    I had to get my A game on for the Squid— only see him a couple times a year and when he gets done roaming and tramp’n around maybe he’ll remember what fun tickets were made for

    I see a V6 badge, obviously a GMC. Nice patina for sure, what he plan on doing with with it? Stay original or alter it?

    When I was 19 I drove a 64 model for a friend occasionally moving his construction equipment. It had a flat like that on the back.V6 / 4 / 2spd vacuum shift. That V6 was a good engine with good torque.

    Brother in law finally parked his 1974 GMC single axle because of new drivers breaking axles, or wringing the driveshaft out on fill jobs where the ground is spongy. It had a 432 ci V6 which I ended up with….

    Arby’s seems to have a better fish sandwich these days of all places, at least the few times I’ve had them they were pretty good. Every time I eat McDonalds I end up with a tums in my mouth just like clockwork…..

    Son in law hosts a fishing tournament every year at Beech Fork Lake in memory of a good friend of his. Contributions go to Casting for Kids.

    I give him $400 every year as a sponsor, he divides it up between big fish of the day, most fish and so on. Last year one team left with a trophy and over $700.

    Him and his friend Ben go to tournaments much as they can….

    I think he'll haul manure from their little feedlot down to the neighbors who farm. He also has some gravel from a pond on their property to move, but it is so easy to overload those trucks with gravel that I hope he will use our dump truck for that. He'll definetly leave it stock.

    We have been helping some friends of one of our operators haul a bunch of stuff for scrap including cranes. They are retiring and trying to clean out a lifetime worth of materials and old iron that they used in their business, which was to manufacture and install grain storage and the elevator/leg systems. They were going to give it to him next to nothing. I think he offered a bit more for it. It hadn't ran in a year or so. He hauled it home and got it fired up. Sounds great in the video he sent. Here is some of what we hauled:

    I think we will end up with this little RT, as it is in our yard now!
