@John Milliman nice truck, but I couldn't help noticing the schoolie off to the side. Are there pics and a story about it somewhere on the interwebs?

Mine is a fair redo, I'd guess 30 plus years ago. It was yellow originally yellow. Bed is really bruised.

Nothing like sitting on the downtown connector on a beautiful fall morning. Went to work and then got my hair cut (as a matter of fact, I got them all cut).

Saw this '66 on the street that ran behind my old house. My house and 20 others are now an apartment complex.
