"Hey boss......"

Thankfully this didn't happen on my job. I've seen a lot of crap in my 25 plus years in the construction biz but this takes the cake. This is how to shut down a construction job for two days so the OSHA people can report the "incident". This falls into the "Oh, shit" catagory.

Trucks we have.....

This truck has been parked here (at my garage in the back yard) for over 4 years. Janets son was working on this truck for a friend and was putting in a rear end. The job just never happened. I've asked for the title and we call it a day/ It's a kick-ass 1970-ish C-20 3/4 ton Chevy Scotsdale. Mike told me yesterday that he was moving the truck soon.

This is my truck. I love this truck and want to get an older truck just for bombing around on weekends.

Trucks We Wanted

Over the year and a quarter since we started this blog, Vance and I have posted many of the old cars and trucks we've owned -- or currently owned. But this here is a truck that I think we could both honestly say we'd love to own. Certainly, with age, we're smart enough to know that it couldn't be our primary vehicle. This stepside Jimmy is more of a "statement" truck*. (Click Photo to see the big picture.)
Dig the faded red primer finish, handbuilt wooden bed rack, original chrome -- including moon hubcaps, Split front windscreen, half a ton of Bondo, and (though you can't quite see it) a 1970s vintage "Jesus is the way" window decal. This beauty was spotted at the Earthship community in Taos, NM and fit in quite nicely with the spirit of the place.

*The statement is that "I'm a hippie and blow a lot of dope."

Balancing Stuff on a Vehicle: There's never been any reason

Vance's last post there got me thinking about stuff. You know, like balancing stuff. Like hogs on a Honda or ganja on a flatbed. Or balancing your personal life with... I mean, sometimes you just gotta cut loose and be irresponsible.

Ergo, I just want to thank The Stevage for his little Christmas gift. No, it's not this album. Or the truck. Just a bit of the cargo, leaving me with some fine memories of days gone bye.

Or, as Head East said (in a totally different context) "Bring a good feeling ain't had in such a long time. Save my life, I'm going down for the last time."

Puff-puff-pass, indeed!

Trucks are rugged, like me...

Rick and I have a thing about trucks. But whats even stranger, is the fact that we would never pose nude with our trucks. I know, it's hard to believe but this is NOT Rick and I. Wow, what the hell were these guys thinking?

Trucks I have

I had this 1970 C/20 Chevy truck for two years that I bought for $900.00 and was going to fix it up. That never happened and I just sold it for like $1,500.00. The Ford F-150 is my baby. This is what Janet and I pull the camper with and is the truck I'll keep for a long time. I guess I'm just a truck kinda guy.
