Cliff, Since this is the O/T forum... The newsgroup I was thinking about (when I inadvertantly stole your Windows 2000 thing) was "alt.basement.graveyard". Check it out, if you get the time.

I hunt Phil. I don't have any photos or anything scanned though. Mainly do my hunting up in Michigan. White tail deer, and fish. I've never hunted moose, but back when I was just a youngin', when we lived in Wyoming my dad did quite a lot of moose hunting and etc.
By the way Phil, I finally got to see your car on HotRod Magazine TV. It looks great! Is that a real moose in your picture. The head is bigger than you!

The moose made the "magic" 60in. spread, just missed B&C by 16pts. I scored 209 and the min is 225 but I'll take it. Spent 3 weeks in the Alaskan bush for that sucker.
Pretty basic...was a delivery truck for an Iowa implement dealer until about 1970...then sat behind the dealership for the next 25 years. Engine not rebuilt, runs like a top, but needs a new rear main seal.
Just evicting all the mice from it was the biggest challenge I faced in restoring it.

My dad had a 51 when I was in high school (mid 70s). It was just a work truck. It was converted to 12v but still had the starter pedal next to the gas. Had an add on heater, didn't come with one factory. Straight 6, 3 on the tree... The way it was geared I think top end was about 70MPH, but it really pulled off the line!

This truck is still six volts, and it has the add-on heater too. Absolutely bone stock except for the wheels and tires (I don't exactly love the whitewalls).
When I priced replacement tires, I just happened to find these wheels and tires for sale for about 1/4 the price of the 6.00x16 replacements. The problem with custom wheels is it makes your ride look fast, which this isn't by any means. It is strong off the line, but 65 or 70 is top speed (bring earplugs).
Makes a great hauler, and really turns heads.

I'm here (finally!!!)!!! This forum is cool, but feels a little strange. I had to work today. It took me 45 min to make the 15 mile drive, but I kept out of the ditches. I did my usual donuts when I got to work but didn't see the owner/boss until it was too late. He made an example of me at our weekly bs meeting. Said if he ever sees that again, it'll be worth a 3 day unpaid vacation. Ooops! I did get some applause for the donuts, though! The boss dude said he counted something like 15 donuts before he lost count. Wahoo! I didn't see anything wrong with a few donuts and figure 8s when there were only a couple of other cars in the parking lot (nobody else is stupid enough to go to work before 5am!). I was safe and stayed away from everything and everybody, but bossman still didn't share my sense of humor. What a male appendage!
Now that I'm here the party may commence. Anyone care for some medicine?
My timing was not intentional; just happen to get on here before going to the garage and noticed that the new addition was in place, so I posted! Looks like everybody is enjoying it so far. Cliff knows what we like! (Just had to change it...last time I enfoyed something, I was sore for a week!)

I love doing donuts in my works parking lot! If there's enough room, that is. And boss-man can't see me 'cause there aren't any windows in the place.. i work at a warehouse. the best was when there was like 5 inches of fresh snow in the parking lots.. all powdery. Me and a friend who was driving a Ranger went at it... looked cool 'cause the snow would fly up around the car...
