I found TOE MATER in Oregon - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My son and I were driving through Oregon City, Oregon and what did we see but TOW MATER. I dont know who was more excited my 9 year old or me. So we parked next to him and took a couple of pictures with the cell phone.

I thought this was a thread about "Toe Jamb".

72armyswbtruck · 11-28-2007, 11:22 AM

That's a pretty cool find. I bet that's not the only one out there since the movie

Blue'72 · 02-02-2008, 04:07 AM

Sweet72 · 02-02-2008, 08:44 AM

Haven't seen the movie so I'm not "up" on the lingo. I too thought it had to do with parts of the human anatomy.

stanglifemike · 02-02-2008, 10:01 AM

chevydog66 · 02-02-2008, 11:58 AM
