In the first post,
that "rainbow" truck is Bill's firetruck. That truck, a 427 truck, ran out of fuel just a few miles from his house, east of Independence. All we had was 5 gallons with us. We put that in thinking we could limp to a gas station. Nope, Bill drove it all the way to the show on 5 gallons. Not sure how but he did it!
Also, it appears my wife Sherry wasn't able to make it that year...
