I saw a guy cruising in a perfect, school bus yellow hi boy with a blown big block Chevy in it. I was driving along side a '72 Chevelle SS on the freeway. Typical Saturday out here.

But its hard to imagine SoCal being better than the pictures I've seen of the scenery in New Zealand. Southern California is a reclaimed desert, plain and simple. Its pretty brown and dull here as oppoed to so many other places in the States where iti s green ad lush, especially at this time of the year.

Do you know if the owner of this truck actually wants to sell it? I know a guy that has several '46's - a wrecker already (LH drive), a Canopy truck - VERY cool if you've never seen one, a panel and a flatbed. Those are just the ones I've seen. He says he's owned 28 of them over the years! Its possible he'd be interested in this one I suppose. I'll send him a link to this thread.
