I was all excited when I picked up an old pickup
truck for $20 out of a local pasture a couple of
weeks ago.  All I wanted was the transmission to
use as a rebuild for my roadster.  Wouldn't you
know it, when I finally winched it up out of
twenty years of cow plops, briar vines and hay,
it turns out it has a granny four speed in it. 
Oh well.  Back on the lookout for a transmission
to bolt to a flathead.  If worse comes to worse,
I can pull the tranny out of my field truck -
it's a '49 Ford with a good box.

Busy twistin' wrenches,
Dick J
