In 1985 a friend of mine had bought an old 16ft (or thereabouts) ski boat. My 216/4.11 truck had a farmer's bumper with a ball, so we hitched that thing up and went to the lake. Man, I'd give anything to have taken pictures of it!!!! Ah, to be young and dumb again, or just smart enough to load up the Kodak X-15 with film that day.

ps: national speed limit was still 55 mph and the roads were friendlier to slowpoke old trucks
