He had 12 new never been mounted 8.25R20s,3 7.50x20 High Tracs(like a mud grip),7 8.25x20s mounted on wheels,10 wheels F--d and Chevy and one 7.50x20 hwy tread mounted on wheel. We go over to his house to get 4 of the tires and he says "So what else do you need?" I went to rattling off stuff like tire tools, lug wrenches. He starts behind this building and says over his shoulder I think I can help you. We get back there and there is a pile of generators 6v,12v, starters,boxes full of original lug wrenches, old timey jacks and tool boxes. He just starts toting all this stuff to my pickup and says aint ya gonna help load. Im standing there with my eyeballs bulged out still going over all this stuff, come to my senses and start helping him load. The old timer knows I have a passion for the old Iron, he just gives all of the accesories to me. I have to go back pretty soon to get tires and wheels. Needless to say when I went home, I felt like I had killed me a fat hog.

When I had my 38 (in the eightys) tagged I let a retired driver drive it some he was absolutely thrilled having driven one when he was starting out. wish I'd been smart enough to take pictures. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 | That's what it's all about! And welcome to the 'Bolt! While you're out there trying to wear out those tires, stop long enough to take a few pictures of your haul and of your trucks -- Certainly a Gallery entry or two, as well as a story for our Features!
