Still farm with my dad on the side. How about you Tiny? We live a tad North of Ark City. I lived in JC for almost a year back in '73 & worked as a cop. Nothing personal but WAY too much politics involved in that town. I even got in trouble once for writing the main pimp in town a speeding ticket.

You are exactly right still a lot of politics in the police and municipal side of JC. I was born and raised here so i guess i am conditioned to it. I am so excited to get to work on this old truck. I am working on getting some picture loaded up as we speak. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Luke, you may want to stay you a thread in the DIY Forum where you can go and add to it as you progress on your build.
