This sounds like pretty bold talk, Tom:-)  From the huge response Susan's
original question has recieved, it sounds like our old trucks have been
dragged back and forth across the country by everything BUT an old Chevy!
Hell, I'm beginning to wonder if I've ever even seen one moving under its
own power.

Sorry.  I guess I'm a little depressed.  It's cold as you know what in my
garage, and my truck is scattered in a hundered different directions.  I'm
sure I'll be better when the weather warms up.
