My friend letting me take his truck out for a spin . It was a good year for Chevy trucks . We had a 1949 Ford modified that I posted awhile back
Anyone feel safe letting me drive ya around :-)
1949 Chevrolet truck was similar to the 1947 model, and in fact Chevy's 1948 trucks were nearly identical to the '47s.
No catagory for trucks ?
I'll take a ride as long as I could get behind the wheel too. Love those Chevrolet trucks! I'll get my coat.
Michael
Ok Official (Micheal ) you drive , if I can read the map :-) Thanks for the love and come along !
Room for one more in there. small cabs but we can squeeze
are you driven up to Appleton? im only an hour away from ya :)
Beautiful Truck!
sweet truck...........lucky u get to drive it ... good to to good friends
should of read ...good to have good friends ..
had to get new glasses today ...still can see the keys like i should..smiling., getting old I guess Manikin
There is always room to squeeze us together kerry lol and rest of gang but Michael won't come if he can't drive . Sean that is long drive even as close as we are in distance . I am short distance driver but you can jump in and Roy your right it is good to have good friends to give a ride to hop on board :-)
@Roy I am nearly blind so we are good and on same page I can make boo boo's typing because of eyesight ...oh did I mention my poor eyesight for all you willing to drive with me LOL <grin>
Well, since I haven't saved up enough for departure tax from St. Maarten, it would be nice if you could give me a ride to Miami so I can pick up some things at Walmart & Harbour freight. I still have coupons from Kmart if they still exist? I may be able to pitch in on the bridge toll, - when they build it! On 2nd thought, I guess I'll just have to continue to live with Match & Kooyman.
Mani, It's beginning to sound like you need to convert it to a bus or "Top-Top"!
Put chairs in the back of the bed! Haven't you ever seen the Beverly Hillbillies? LOL
Mani, you're adorable! I'll go, but I'll sit in the back. That way I'll have time to jump out before we hit anything. LoL
Now that is way cool Manikin!
Great ride Sis, love it & your smile!
Blunder we can build a back seat in bed of truck or tie a few chairs on back like Juno said :-) ! The more the merrier .
EJW Thanks ! Cool is good <grin>
Aim thank you so much ! xo
Thank you Bro , I bought that smile on ebay for this photo lol ! xoxo
bratjdd your to sweet and many thanks xoxo
LoL Phil. What a funny and great idea.
What a great picture! You ladies look like trouble to me though... I'm stayin home! ...lol...
LOL come on toolate you'll miss the ride if your "late" :-) Thanks for the love
Phil that is good idea I better get out my paint . I can do my own traveling show and charge lol :-) Thank you for the love always super glad to see you on my posts xxoxo
Thank you gargoyle,charcoal,trukn20,signaholic,jono,shughs ,bratjdd,RonM,mikelv, vetraio50 and geo ! many many thanks for the love on this post ! :-)
I had my own '51 years ago. Tough ol' trucks.
Thank you mrmaj ! they don't make them like they used to , a person could work on them and fix yourself no high tech computer needed :-)
Mani, are you going to tell us you can work on this?
I sure could Blunder ! My Dad had me help him work on his cars and I held a lot of flashlights when he did work on them . He had no boys so 2 girls in my family could work on cars . I had to learn and glad I he taught me as there were times I had to repair my truck on a long isolated road in Arkansas , We did not have a 49 but we always had a older car in yard .
I'm proud of you! Is Arkansas a state, town, province, country or territory?
Is Arkansas a state, town, province, country or territory?
lol lucas ..stand your ground Manikin..let him have it with both barrels ...smiling
Blunder it is a state way down south and it is very hilly up and down and lots of woods . I lived there 2 years in the back hills and would drive to Hospital in main town in state on old country back roads . It was hillbilly area back then and everyone packed a gun and lots of illegal stills so you didn't want to be out there alone . Oh an my Dad did teach me to shoot a rifle also and hunt with him but the rifle was to much for me and knocked me back so he stood behind me to keep me from falling. I did not like shooting that scared me and the noise too .
Mani, that sounds like N. AL where I grew up. All those hydro-elec lakes have moves the stills higher up in the mountains.

Did you & your truckload of fellow collectors forget your passports or did the cops put an end to it before you made it out of Wisconsin:-))

Excuses, excuses......... :-)))

Better late then never, I poured your cuppa it went cold waiting for you to get here just about to have a cold drink getting dry again. I hope all went well for your festive season. I'm nearly through all the Emails & my fingers are getting stiff what some do in a short time takes me hours.

Many Thanks to
Trey and
antiquerose !!
How was the trip, are you in a club I always enjoy hearing from you all on collectors so many kind words & information from everyone. I hope you have been lucky. I will have to get off butt & take some photos so I can put down as it is Norton keeps telling me I come to this site to often.
Thank you very much Lise !
@ Zowie your Nortons says you come to this site to often ? That is strange . Tell it you will come as much as you like we love seeing you ! xoxo
I do love the car from the days when they were built to protect not fold like todays cars. I follow my Emails when I am on this site. that is most probably why I never get around to doing anything. I'm going about it the wrong way. I still love the car
Thank you Zowie :-) It is hard to keep up for sure on CW xoxoo
Mani... girl hanging on my arm was old friend... she's hanging on because of a stroke she had 1 year ago and her youngest... it was a Biker funeral , lost a good friend... if you noticed all old bikers
Wonderful!!! Lucky you Manikin!

Kerry sorry to hear you lost a friend . I thought it might have been the meeting for all the old bikers in town, Yes you were being a gentleman as I would expect nothing less of you to help a lady :-) xoxo
Thanks Mani..... I shared another 100 pics or so on my page, if you get bored and wanna see a bunch of old farts doing the Valhalla Celebration
In keeping up with CW you sure have that wright have a great day
i learned how to drive on a 1943 Dodge army truck. when i came home from high school in australia, i went to take it out for a spin, and was swarmed by hornets which had taken up residence in the glove compartment!
Ouch not a nice thing to happen. been seeing some great cars of late. Be safe have a great weekend
ho2cultcha, I think I would have jumped out and let truck take off without me !! Hi Zowie :-) hope you have a nice week end also and thank you both for stopping ! xoxo

Hi

some energizer, to comeback soon, everyone will miss U
A friend on CW
Hey Mani I'm thinkin of doing a little competition with a prize . Maybe it will lighten things up and bring some cohesion back to the group. What do you think ? I will make sure it has to do with collecting .
Sounds good hedge we need to lighten up like old days :-)
What you got in mind Edgewalker.....:-)
Hey Alan I've been thinking about a little comp for a while and I think in light of all that's been going on this would be a good time. I don't want to give any details yet to keep it fair . And I do want EVERYONE to feel comfortable about joining in. I will post details and get it started tomorrow if no problems come up .
Sounds good hedgewalker, i keep my eyes open on that.....i will (-:o)
Feel free to spread the word.
Don't worry, i believe, thing, good or bad spread very fast here.
Take care
Alan
Hi Valentino and Zowie . Thank you both , I will be around just not posting :-) xoxo

Ok mutsabotas :-) even with my poor eyesight lol . welcome aboard !!
I guess the M instead of N tells you my eyes not so good :-) sorry about that nutsabotas6.
See Manikin you gave me something else to smile about even if it was just a M & N when I read it back I realised what the M said & no offence was taken by him either the way it should be. Manikin if you see or hear from Philalexandera say hi even if he doesn't remember I miss his post. Why I asked you to I gather you might of knowing him personally
I will pass a Hello along to Phil for you Zowie :-)
Thanks Manikin he was such a nice man & helpful he was also having a bad year by the sounds of things sometimes we just don't need certain things that happen. Enjoy your weekend
He said Hi back to you Zowie :-)
