QUOTE: Originally posted by howmus Well grandpacoyote, if it was a Dodge instead of a Found On Road Dead, and you took off the rear fenders, had the tailgate only in the open possition (unless the chains holding it in place worked), put holes in the front fenders, and removed most of the floor in the cab, it would look just like the old '56 farm pickup I drove to High School my Senior year. Oh yeh, be sure to disconect the muffler and have it drag along the ground and have what is left of the tailpipe clearly showing with several holes in it. The rear lights should only work when the cops aren't around. (Of course, when you get stopped, you just wiggle some wires and say, "see officer they just needed a little work, they're fine now.") That was a great truck! I'd pull into a gas station and say to the attendant, "fill up the oil and check the gas". Took close to a quart to drive the 3.5 miles from the farm into Canandaigua. I loved that truck! The "hot" babes in my class thought it was the greatest thing to ride down Main St. in it. [:D] Dad "retired" it with only 230,000 miles on it (most in 1st. gear in the fields in the farm). Great work coyote!

John
