[GOOSE]

Haha, a worn out crummy from Oregon. Too bad there isn't an award for the truck that's been beat the hardest and is still going. I have 16 years of logging duty on every part that is to be judged.

Thanks argve for the compliments and a great day/show we really enjoyed meeting all you guys and seeing people who appreciate what we've done and like what we like and you guys have got my dad wanting to put an IDI in his 79 F250 not as a show piece and fair weather cruiser like mine but as a daily driver so you might see more 70's trucks from us along the way thanks again for having us and we really did have alot of fun

 

[argve]

that is the problem with this group - once you meet us and see what we are about you are hooked! I myself would like to sit down around the campfire and chitchat a lot more with you and your dad - I didn't have a lot of time as I kept getting pulled away to handle things.... Keep your eye out for the information on Darrin's Fall meet and come up and enjoy the company of what will become good friends, at that meet it doesn't matter what you bring - heck last year Jill and I rode the scoot up in the pouring rain to spend time with friends. and I even once drove an oldsmobile up for the weekend as I was between trucks. That was when I pitched a tent under Ron's bedroom - lol....

 

[GRU]

Better than pitching one IN his bedroom!! Though I hear Karen will put on a show every now and then!
