Some People!

I called a friend this morning to ask him a question,and he said he was at the s**** yard dropping off a `47 Ford truck.I asked him why...and he told me that he thought nobody would want it because it was ugly,and it even still had the flathead V-8 in it. I tried to talk him out of it,then *****ed him out for not telling me about it.

WTF is wrong with people?????

 

Ex friend?

 

Did you save it?

 

Your point?

 

Friend of mine took an excellent running 48 Ford inline 6 to s****.
I was looking at his 48 F1 with the V8 Flatty he dropped in it and said hey wheres the 6 I will buy it or trade ya for it. Oh I junked it, I dont care for them.
I couldnt believe that. He owned it for damn near 30 years!

 

$180 a ton, that's the problem with people!

 

But the story has a happy ending. He sold it to you for s**** value, saving the old truck and the flatty from certain doom.

Right?

 

friend o mine s****ped a running flatty out of a ford pu...... got 3 bucks for it.

 

sounds like folks around here , oh nobody would want that old junk .

 

Why does this surprise you ??

I read all the time... Even here on the HAMB.....

How all this old Junk is for ****.... '40 Style juice brakes are ****, Banjo rears are weak junk, Flatheads are OverHeating cracked boat anchors, Straight Axles & Tranverse springs are un~Comfortable, Stock frames are fatigued & not worth working with.

If people would stop & think of the word they are speading, Which isnt the GOSPEL OF TRADITION, Everyone wouldnt be junking all the old stuff.

Here on the HAMB all i ever read is... DISK BRAKES, S-10 FRAME CONVERSIONS, AIR BAGS, 9' REAR, MUSTANG II FRONTS, POWER STEERING & BRAKES, 2x3 TUBE FRAME, ETC.....

Its no wonder people are throwing this old **** away !!!!!

Just think of all the BRAND NEW **** you can buy from a cataloge if we s**** this worn out **** !!

 

I didnt think that was negative ..... Its really kinda the truth dont ya think ?

Seems to me if nobody wants to run the old parts then what do ya do with them? And at s**** prices it seems more old parts will go to the recycler

I tried to help the kid who couldnt get his Y~Block started, Posted about his problem that nobody else even thought to look at.

 

Well said Ryan.

 

As a lurker, I used to value his input. It's nice to have someone to say the stuff you would like to, but don't have the energy to get involved. Then after a bit, I realized how hard he is trying. It does get old...

 

***** Fest 2008...

 

Ok.... Cleaned it for ya.
