He's closer to the middle, but west of the Mississippi. As I recall, a lot of trucks in AR had both

I know what you mean about the Choke. I was at my real parts store years ago and I mentioned a "Hand Choke". One of the guys behind the counter said "What's a Hand Choke"?
I figure the rest of that might have been, "It's a cable connected to the carb with a knob on the dash you pull out to close the choke and push in to open it back up once warm". "So what is a choke anyway?"
