We moved from Columbus, GA to Walla Walla, WA when I was 5 years old. I spent plenty of time in the Tri-Cities, it was the "big city" for us.

Wow, that's pretty good. I was quoted $675 for a disassembled but clean frame; front, middle, upper-shock, plus the 2 rear c.members; trucks arms + brackets; cab mounts; & bumper brackets (by a company in Royce City/Rockwall area).

That was blasting & satin black powder.

He left it to my Dad when he passed away in 1975 and he has just passed it on to me in 2009.

Here is the first picture I have with me and the truck

Finally, she made it to Texas

I just love stuff like this.
