Hey Harry,

It's not that bad. Id it can't move, how do you tow it back? Using Chevy/GM
Products? At least they have a chance. Would you turn down a 1950 chevy
truck, rotting in a field, because you wouldn't want to use a Ford 550
Powerstroke diesel to lug it back? God no. My preference is Ford, and ford
up front. My mom owns a chevy, and 2 dodges. You use what you have. Someday,
I will run a international car hauler around the us, picking up cars. I will
probably also have some Fords, And international flat bed haulers in my
fleet. Internationals i like also, partly because ford and international
have a partnership, (International builds the powerstroke V8's for ford) and
i liek the old corn binders. I get called a hick when i say that, but I say
pffft. We all love what we like. I would never spit on a chevy owner because
he/she lieks chevy's, I just prefer fords. I can tell soem good chevy jokes,
but they are just jokes. No harm meant.

I thought that one to sting my mom. She came up with:

So, I thought long and hard, and bit back with the above one. Took alot of
brain power, but I pulled it off. Didn't need to have scrap paper around
either.

Cheer Up :) Any pictures of your truck? I live down in las vegas. My mom
owns a 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3200 Long Bed Fleetside. (283 V8,4 Speed Tranny
With a Granny Gear) All Original. Currently In pieces also, but runs. Just a
running shell, with 100% of the body components on. Just needs it's badges,
paint, etc. I'm 18, And own 2 Old Cars. I own a 1959 Edsel Villager Station
Wagon (223 I6, Manual Trans) 1959 Edsel Ranger 4 Door Sedan (292 V8, Manual
Trans). I would *never* own a rice burner, and would buy a old VW and put
that together for a fuel efficent vehicle, if i needed one. We all have our
preferences, and that's what makes us different!
