Jim, Good Luck in the Contest! There are some Really Sharp Trucks trying to Win. If you don't take TOTM your truck will always be a Winner in my Book. Ray

Thanks Ray, that's always the problem, lots of nice rides. I really appreciate the thought...Jim

**oldman3** · 07-27-2019, 11:20 AM

Haven't posted in a couple months, but been drivin the truck alot. I drove it everyday this week, had the top off and great 80 to 85 degree weather. Here's a couple pic from Friday morning heading to nursing home. Almost dropped the camera on the one going down the road...Jim

**oldman3** · 07-27-2019, 11:24 AM

Then later Friday evening I went to our Autozone cruise-in. Here's a few pics.

**oldman3** · 07-27-2019, 11:26 AM

A few more.

Indian113 · 07-28-2019, 10:33 AM

Jim, I kinda like that but there are a Lot of differences between yours and it. Resale Red always catches your Eye! Ray

Thanks MPC and Ray, yes it's a nice looking ride, would like to see it up close. Looks like a 54 cab and bed, but a 47-53 front end...Jim

**joedoh** · 07-28-2019, 09:12 PM

jim I love seeing your truck out and about!

Hey everyone, just been enjoying my truck this summer. I've put on about 1800 miles since June, just going to cruise in and running around town. Tops been off since late June, weather has been hot and and humid, but I love the top off. Went to a car show this morning with a couple friends, first since the nationals. Here are a few pics.

1st pic. Just driving north to Cabool, Mo. about 45 miles up the road.
2nd pic. My truck, next to Glens 62 wagon and Danny's 49 custom.
3rd pic. Another shot of Danny's 49
4th pic. Engine in Danny's 49 is a 392 Imperial hemi.
5th pic Suicide doors and bright red interior.

**oldman3** · 09-14-2019, 08:23 PM

At lot of the same cars at this show that I've posted before, but here's a couple I hadn't seen before.

1st pic. 56 Nomad, very nice car
2nd pic. 40 plymouth truck
3rd pic. Nice square body
4th pic. Nice Jeep truck.

Funny thing on the way home. I had my cruise set at 70 mph, I could see the jeep truck out in front of me. After several minutes I caught up with him and was passing, he decided to run right beside me, so I slowly put mine up to 80 and he backed way off. I slowed back to 70 but lost sight of him in my mirror. I don't mine people NOT wanting me to pass them, but I don't like running side by side, to many things can go wrong....Jim

**joedoh** · 09-14-2019, 09:08 PM

great stuff jim. my wife thinks I think I am in a "truman show" universe with how many drivers irritate me on the road, but my kids know how to plan an escape route while driving, so the good and bad haha

funny how much better the plymouths and dodges look with the headlights inboard like that instead of on top of the fender.

RockinKees · 09-15-2019, 05:01 AM

Nice pics Jim!
That ‘49 is a beauty!!
