Happy birthday Ed, holy cow you're almost as old as i'm is what are you, about 30-35 now?..just guessing, judging by your picture.

I like "Pickles" too- I can see myself getting more like Earl all the time.

Old Bill just happened to send me some magazines he found in his closet. One was Canadian, the other was a Truckin' Life from Australia, from 2010. Very good pictures and articles, even had an article about the Iowa 80 Truckstop, kinda neat to read because it was in the Australian magazine, little different point of view than we might have. Anyway, I copied some pictures from it. Nice B and Diamond T's inside the front cover. Check out the sleeper on this 190 International. There's a Superliner (Titan) up in there somewhere! Some Superliners (Superliners) Haven't seen any cabovers like this around these parts. That legendary SAR Kenworth looks pretty neat,eh? So does this-

.

good looking trucks too, they really deck some of them out in Europe!

I hate when that happens!

I went to Winfall a while ago, and all I saw was these 2 poorly photochopped womens...

this is getting pretty funny! The Back Row here's another HOMO wagon i pulled off stupid $hit pigs page....that page has crappy content...i know the back row is way better that tover there.....now i'm trying not to base my opinion on bias or subjectivity but c'mon now....he should rename his page the junkyard or super swifties or something that shows his gay~nessLike · · Share · 1511 · 9 minutes ago ·

Holy hamburgers, i'm done for!

oh. Next time just say bumps Vinny, everybody knows what they are.

I'd say the salvage yard is your best bet for all necessary parts. I know a Chevelle ain't a truck, but I put a 4 speed in a '70 Chevelle that was an automatic once. Went to the junkyard and bought all the parts out of a 4 speed Chevelle- I already had the transmission, I just got the clutch pedal, all the linkage,bellhousing, flywheel, and so on. I expected it to be a lot harder job than it was, everything was there for the 4 speed, all holes already drilled and tapped, so it was pretty much just bolt it in and go. I had expected to have to drill, tap, cut, weld, cuss, and all that, but I didn't.

still wondering what a mogul is...

forgot about picking up pop bottles- we used to walk up rt. 13 to French's store, half a mile away. My brother and I would take a different side of the road and look for bottles along the way. They brought 2 cents apiece and we'd stash them at the bottom of a big tree in the ditch by the road until we had 5 or 6 bottles stockpiled, enough to cash in for something. You could get a lot for a nickle or dime then. A dimes worth of penny candy was a lot, had plenty to share. Some penny candy was 2 for a penny, where a piece of penny candy costs 10 cents nowadays. That store had cookies in big glass containers sitting on the counter too, with big red lids on them. Wanted some ginger snaps, Mrs. French would reach in and get them with her hand and put them in a little paper bag for you. Big, soft, ginger snaps too- last ones I bought were so hard you almost had to hit it with a hammer to break it apart before you could eat it. There were lots of little country stores around then, but they had pretty much whatever you needed. If you wanted a pound of baloney for a bloney sammich, it didn't come in a little plastic container- it was a whole roll of baloney, and they'd slice off however much you wanted. Same thing with cheese, no such thing as the individual wrapped sliced cheese-if that really is cheese- most all country stores had a big "wheel" of cheese on the counter in a wooden box. They kept a big knife in the box too, and they'd cut what you wanted and put in on the scales. If you asked for a pound, they had to guess- might be a little over or under, but they were usually pretty close. Many times I skipped lunch at school and saved my lunch money-30 cents- and walked up to French's store when I got home from school and bought junk food. I'd get a 12 ounce Coke for 10 cents, a cake for 10 cents, and top it off with a 10 cent ice cream sammich. I had to buy them separately because I only had 30 cents cash money- if I bought it all together I would have had to pay a penny tax. And I had to go outside and sit on the bench to eat it, because I had to take the Coke bottle back- there was a 2 cent deposit on the bottle.

Ran across this picture on Old Time Trucks FB page. Seen several B model pickups before, but not a Superliner.

I went with NAPA batteries too.

We were on a party line with several other families around the area. When the phone rang, it rang at everybody's house so you had to know "your" ring- it could be 1,2, or 3 rings, and they could be long rings or short rings, or any combination. Ours was 3 long rings. Everybody knew everybody else's ring too, because some people would ease the receiver up and cover the mouthpiece with their hand and listen to other people's conversations...I heard people would do that anyway, I don't have any firsthand knowledge of it.

moguls?

don't bother me, i'm used to it- seems to come natural.

what's a trail groomer? You have to make a snowmobile trail with them before the snowmobile will go?

I have no idea either, might find somebody with a hidden stash of film on e-bay or something. I once had a Kodak disc camera that took good pictures, but they quit making film for it.

That was the first camera I ever had! Ma gave it to me when she got a new one because the flash quit working. Took great pictures when you didn't need the flash though.

I've stopped there before, you could usually find a parking spot pretty easy. Even had brains and eggs on their menu- not that I ever ordered it. Is the place still there?
