Re: My Facetruck thread.

That barn is work of art. The structure shows simplicity and beauty at the same time.

And glad the truck gets to do time hauling the vittles. Looking good.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

That old truck is quite a creation. Looks like a combination of COE and conventional pieces. Like a homemade LCF. Might be on a later 1T chassis

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Gentlemen, great pictures of those old trucks. That badge with GENERAL MOTORS TRUCK all spelled out is fantastic. Other Larry, have you got a screwdriver on you? Haha, JK. I get a kick out of that Spud truck too. Named OLD MURPH...Y. And theater spelled theatre. Allusions to elegance with a big potato strapped to the back.

I bet that check smelled pretty good.

Winding down to Thanksgiving Day. The potatoes will be mashed with gravy for sure.

My dinner is going to be different. Going up to mom's with my son. No other family will be coming. Across the river is a coffee shop and we've been invited to a small gathering the owner is having there. I know him but not sure who else will be there. It's a long way from when I was a kid and every night at the supper table there were seven of us

Man, 9 sure does seem like a lot. We have 6 and I don't know what we're thinking. I guess the spacing may have helped? They sure are fun though.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Six is a good size family these days. We raised three kids. It was one every two years with the first four, me being third. My next sister came in four years. We had the odd years covered from '51 to '61 except '59. Then came a sister in '68 and brother in '70. Sure covers a lot of years. About a generation!

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Four boys in my family which I thought was three too many =)

My honeys family had seven kids. Dairy family all in a very small house with a single bathroom (one sink in there), the kitchen was also very small. Four girls, three boys ... the math works haha.

Anyway we watch a lot of HGTV and she is very amused at the families that need more room!!! Two kids, mom and dad in a 2800 sq ft house. OMG how will they survive!

Of course they werent allowed to just hang out in the house most of the time. Everyone outside! Because they lived in a valley there was very poor TV reception plus the TV was turned off at 8PM. Study, read, or play a card game.

Im amazed she even lived through her childhood haha.

It is amazing how much room people have these days and think they don't have enough.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

I've got plenty of childhood stories, but we were happy. Spending the day outside making swings from vines, casing a hoop with a stick with a tobacco can nailed to it,swimming in the creek.

Picking up walnuts for extra money for the family,

Good, simple times.

So, how you guys do?

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Since I was the boy I always got stuck somewhere other than in a bedroom, while the girls got paired up. The one house had a curtain wall to divide off a corner of the living room that was my room for a while. Then it was in the basement. We moved into a huge farmhouse and I finally got a room, but I don't think it was a bedroom. I never felt slighted on anything growing up in a big family. And my dad was a school teacher. Not known for being paid high wages, especially back then

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Nice Larry. How do you like the ride of the Alcan springs? I did a truck last year for a guy and he was upset he spent the money on them. He said his other truck with rough country lift kit rides the same. Maybe it's just him?

It's just him. I've never had Alcan springs but I've had Tuff Country and Rough Country on '72 K20s. The difference between those are night and day, and Alcans are supposed to ride so much better than Tuff Country. Rough Country springs ride like a rock

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Sorry to hear about the rib. Cracked one a couple few years ago and remember that well! I had a funny joke to tell but I wouldn't want to make you laugh.

The weather. Nice chilly but comfortable days (55-60) this weekend, 70 today. Some rain passed through, light and fast, and now the wind is gusting 40-50 mph. Right around freezing in the morning and only supposed to get to upper 30s. Then snow the next morning and again mid-day. By Saturday it will be sunny and 65*.
