So, looking through the forums I see the west coast, the south, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Michigan. But it seems no one wants to claim Missouri! Would this forum be the place for Missourians?

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road. Tim

Tim
I have asked John a few years ago about having a section for the Midwest.
We are sort of lost between the great lakes, the south and Texas.
Sometimes I think they are scared of us and a little jealous of the trucks we come across.
But keep an eye on the Reunion threads and try to make that event.
With or without a truck.

I just figured that no one really wanted a bunch of hill billies to be associated with them! If I ever get my truck finished I will plan on bringing it to the reunion, just to show them what an ozark hill billy can do.

Yeah.
I get that feeling with the ODSS gang when I go to the Homecoming with a crazy Australian.
When I say hold my beer and watch this, they really back away.

Don We picked up an Australian one day when I was about 19. During the summer my hometown gets lots of foreigners, and they have to see Death Valley then Mount Whitney. This guy was just passing through, wanted to check out the area, have some beers and some fun, so we brought him along. We went to the lake and were hanging out at the gazebo drinking some beers. Normally we could go unnoticed, but that guy was rowdy and after a few warnings we got kicked out. A load of fun, but we had to take our shenanigans elsewhere. The next time we went to the lake the Ranger came over and told us we were okay, it was the guy we brought with us a couple days prior that got us kicked out.

Tim (TPR57C) and I got a hotel room a block away from Beale street, Memphis this past April on a nice Saturday night.
Lets just say, we had a good time, left the next day and still had our bail money in our pockets.
LEO's found out we were on our way to the Homecoming and gave us a free pass to get out of town.
My perception is my reality!

I see that you have a Turbo charged Forester.
We have a 2011 TC XL Forester. Bought it new. Probably one of the fastest cars I have ever owned.
It's a sleeper!
