i have enough ammo until CNN gets to my house.

amen to that. you would think we could ban together once to fix our screwed up govt that our "leaders" have created.

a chicken and a horse that lived on a farm were out walkin one day. the horse went thru a soft spot in the field and started sinking. he begged the chicken to go back to the farm and get the farmer to bring his tractor and pull him out before he sunk any farther. so the chicken races back to the house but the farmer was gone with the tractor. so the chicken sees the farmers harley in the garage. he grabs a rope and the harley and speeds back to the field. he drives around the hole until the rope is within reach of the horse. he manages to pull the horse free from the quicksand hole. the next day the chicken and the horse are out walking again and this time the chicken gets too close to a big mud hole and gets stuck in the middle. he begs the horse to help him since he saved the horse the day before. so the horse straddles the hole with his four legs and lets down his horse dong. the chicken asks," what do you want me to do with that?" the horse says just grab hold and i will get you out. so the chicken grabs hold cuz he doesnt see any other way out and the horse picks him out of the mudhole. the moral of the story: if you have a long dong you dont need a harley to pick up chicks.

NBA or NFL? 36- have been accused of spousal abuse. 7- have been arrested for fraud. 19- have been accused of writing bad checks. 117- have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses. 3- have done time for assault. 71-repeat-71- cannot get a credit card due to bad credit. 14- have been arrested on drug related charges. 21- currently are defendants in lawsuits, and 84- have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year. can you guess which organization this is? give up? neither. its the 435 members of the u.s. congress. the same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

a first grade teacher, ms. brooks, was having trouble with one of her students. the teacher asked, "harry, what's your problem?" harry answered, "i'm too smart for the first grade. my sister is in the third grade and i'm smarter than she is. i think i should be in the 3rd grade too!" ms. brooks had had enough. she took harry to the principle's office. while harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. the principal told ms. brooks he would give the boy a test. if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. she agreed. harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test. principal: "what is 3 x 3?" harry: "9." principal:"what is 6 x 6?" harry:"36." and so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know. the principal looks at ms. brooks and tells her, "i think harry can go to the 3rd grade." ms. brooks says to the principal, "let me ask him some questions." the principal and harry both agreed. ms brooks asks, " what does a cow have four of that i have only two of?" harry, after a moment, "legs." ms brooks,"what is in your pants that you have but i do not have?" the principal wondered why she would ask such a question! harry replied"pockets." ms brooks:" what does a dog do that a man steps into?" harry"pants." ms brooks:"what starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?" harry:"coconut." the principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open. ms brooks:"what goes in hard and pink and comes out soft and sticky?" the principals eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, harry replied, "bubble gum." ms brooks:"what does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down, and a dog does on three legs?" harry:"shake hands." the principal was trembling. ms brooks:"what word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?" harry:"firetruck" the principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, " put harry in the fifth grade, i got the last seven questions wrong............."

we had a great dane while growing up. dad drove an el camino. that dog rode with him all the time. she would jump right over the side of the truck. didnt need to put the tailgate down. then she would stand in the back with her head sticking over the cab while going down the road.

or is it only momma will lick you?

you know why dogs lick their nuts dont ya? cuz they can.!

i'm having so much fun with my first one. cant imaqine getting multiple trucks. i'm with you on one thing though, i hate to think about adding on to my barn again. ajt

yeah its too bad that it is the world over.

ahhh, the memories of personal cars. one of my favorite was when i was 18 yrs old. i bought a monte carlo from a family friend. i assumed it just had a 350. but when i went to look at it, i about crapped when under the hood was a 454. man, we had a lot of fun tearing up the roads in that. i couldn't hardly pay them quick enough. it took awhile to get all the carbon blowed out of the 4 barrel. but when we did.............. aj

well i cant hardly see doing anything the easy way!

since i am just a contractor attempting my first restoration i dont think i will be entering any judging shows. i do find all this information very helpful in getting the truck to the condition that i envision though. it will make a great parade truck for years to come as i live in a rural area. most all the neighboring towns have some type of celebration in the summer with a parade incorporated in it. this will give me a lot of oppurtunity to get the truck out and enjoy it.

i'm with you, i like the low wings. my brother and i owned an archer for a few years. we dont have a plane right now though. if we could ever get more free time we would probably consider it again. it would go good with the airstrip in my front yard.

it should be hard to screw it up then,huh?

i wondered about different shades since this color ran so many years. i should be getting paint this week. i dont know what manufacturer my paint guy is getting yet though for the interior. sounds like i made a good choice to just match a panel.

thanks, i'll look into some sleeving as an option. its very interesting to find out about the history of how the truck was assembled and what options are available today.

i bet that could be interesting trying to get that cloth onto existing air lines.
