Re: Big Betty leaves the nest

Dwight, I got rid of Big Betty. The 4x4 I got 3-4 years ago. I had no need for her anymore. The funds aren't there anymore since retirement. So I'll just have to hang on to Betty. The truck I've had for 30+ years. You know which one she is. Her bed is longer than yours is It is not easy giving up so...

Re: Big Betty leaves the nest

Ok Guys, She's gone . I delivered her to the new owner Friday afternoon. That was a long and somber drive. After some conversation, came the time to leave and let her there. While getting back in the wifes car to leave I took my last look at the poor ole gal. She was probably saying, "What did ...

Big Betty leaves the nest

Thinning the herd. I have made a decision that was pretty much difficult to do. I have decided to let Big Betty go. I have put a lot of work into her and now it's time to let her move on. She will be going to a good home. My friend from where I retired offered to take her off my hands. He has a bea...

Re: 65 F100 4x4 parts truck turns project

Hey Highboy, The old beast is looking good. I like the idea of the cop truck. Maybe the gold star should read " SLICK COUNTY PATROL" "JOHNSON COUNTY HOT ROD PATROL", or "JOHNSON COUNTY SNOW PATROL" I really like the interior too. Keep up the good work. Might make me get...

Re: new puppy

Wow Ice, Now that's quite a change of scenery is't it? Maybe I should get on here a little more often. Next thing I'll find out Foodstick moved to NYC :shock:

Tim, One thing nice about being retired is that I can clean up my messes before the master gets home :twisted:

Re: new puppy

This little girl is getting to be all puppy. Don't dare let your socks lay. You will have to look all over to find them. She likes to grab my pant legs w/o warning. And wear a shirt while holding her. She has a fascination with nipples. Her teeth are sharp as hell. That crap hurts. (no, I'm not tryi...

new puppy

Back before Christmas, My wife and I had to have our 14 year old lab/boxer mix put to sleep. She was a well trained companion. She loved people. We decided we would sooner do w/o a dog rather than to have to go through all that again. Well, We stopped at a pet store 3 weeks ago and that all changed....

Re: wyatts 65 4x4

Retirement is nice. Been working around the house to get caught up on 41 years of neglect. It's been a full week yesterday. Did manage to get Betty out of the garage today and give her a bath. I will be back to posting more pics on Big Betty sometime in the middle of summer. Thanks for checking on m...

spring expansion

As usual I noticed the steering wheel has expanded over the winter months. I climbed into the truck to take her for a spin and quickly noticed how big the steering wheel has expanded over the winter. What should a person do about this problem? I was wondering if we were to wrap the wheel in plastic ...

Re: long time

Sinc,
Boy don't I wish. But I do remember when my neighbor had new Slicks. I think he got one every year. Even then I thought they were cool. If only I knew then what I know now. :roll:

Re: my 64 Chop top

Nice looking pics Kid. I would like to try a chop top sometime in the future. Has anyone ever done a 4x4? Wonder if it would look right.
