I'm a native Texan (mom was an Okie), learned to drive in a '48 Ford 3-ton grain truck loaded to twice it's GVW so it neither got moving in a hurry or stopped in a hurry. Working on a '49 Willys Overland now, but thinking of selling it and getting one of those fiberglass extended cab '30 Ford pickups. Decisions, decisions Went to the drags when they smoked the tires the whole quarter-mile and the only sub-10 second runs were by the fuelers. Live just south of Louisville, KY, which is important only because of the NSRA Nationals every summer. 10,000 cars in colors Henry Ford never imagined Retired teacher, retired Army Reservist, active photographer and woodworker.
