Re: My Facetruck thread.

i thought I saw a post by you on a FB group, Larry. The K/20 pictured was Dark Olive Poly w./white top '72 clean as a whistle. I saw it wasn't you sitting in it and it had Custom fender emblems. Low mileage and all original. Someone commented on the bumper guards being different. I posted the guards were 67-70 style and that it was a very nicely optioned Custom, having upper & lower side trim, chrome hubcaps & bumpers. It also had deluxe side markers which I also prefer. I said how I love a highly optioned Custom or Custom Deluxe more than a Cheyenne. I made the mistake of posting w/o blowing pictures up first and it looked like it had the brightwork window trim. So I asked if he had added that. The guy came back all synical saying "It's nice to finally meet an expert" and defended the truck's originality, one repaint, and said it even had the rubber floor mat. I blew the picture up and saw it had the proper Custom window detail. I said I would never call myself an expert but if he talked to me a while he might think I was and corrected myself on the window trim. But I also said it's actually a rubber floor covering, not a mat, mats are removeable. Next thing I know he shut comments down. I had complimented the truck followed by simple questions and the guy got bent out of shape. I love the truck and wanted to talk about it, but apparently there is only room for one expert in that town

It sure is. I'm on an old house and old fashioned cooking groups now. Always some bad players. I see it all the time on the truck groups, a guy will show his truck he just bought or restored and all the comments are guys showing their truck rather than acknowledging the guy did a good job or bought a nice one. Ignoramuses

A person shows their spaghetti made with sauce from a jar and someone calls it poverty spaghetti. Others call him on it and he says they are too sensitive. A guy shows a custom made gas cap on his '72. I'll admit it was a touch of funky, but one guy says that isn't custom if he made it sitting on the toilet. I had to wonder how that guy would know he was sitting on the toilet. Maybe his wife beats him. A sad person

We still have a drive in theater near here. They have a classic car night once a month. We got there early. They had a good turnout.

No, but a big ole Mercury land yacht came in and I told my grandkids that's what people would have driven to the drive in with half dozen people in the trunk.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

I miss drive-in theaters, period. I'd point the truck away from the screen and watch the movie in bed with my gal. We'd have it set up all cozy. The Jefferson Drive-In was a country road drive through farmland. Didn't even have to leave the valley. Great memories

Re: My Facetruck thread.

We don't have a local drive in but there is one an hour away https://mesadrive-in.com/ and another a few hours away but it is also is a motel that you can watch the movie from your room. We stayed the night there two years ago and they were playing the last movie that Clint Eastwood was in CRY MACHO.https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/bo...%20the%20movie.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

North Dallas had the Gemini Drive In Theater. 2000 Cars, twin screens. By the time I got my drivers license it had declined and only showed raunchy movies. Flesh Gordon is one I recall. Real estate, best and highest use finaly killed it. They had good food I remember. It was pretty embarasing heading North out of Dallas at night in the station wagon with the folks an seeing 50 foot breasts on the screen.

"The Gemini Drive-In became Dallas' first multiscreen drive-in theater when it opened in 1965. The $1.5 million outdoor theater opened with a cocktail party and celebrity appearances. Frankie Avalon and Deborah Waley hosted an autograph party at Gemini before the screening of their film Beach Blanket Bingo during the theater's grand opening. The drive-in could accommodate 2,000 cars. It later added a third screen. The owners tried unsuccessfully to sell the land in the late-'80s, but it the land was not sold until the mid-2000s."

Re: My Facetruck thread.

the drive-in at Harpers Ferry WVA closed down and became a flea market. That's what happened to the Westview Drive-in on US40 near Catonsville, MD too. The Harper's Ferry flea Market was the greatest. All laid out the same as the drive-in was, gravel rows with grass between where you parked. The snack shack was still there serving food and there were bathrooms. It had a lot of antiques and quality collectibles. The guy that ran it had a white '68 CST/20 Custom Camper all restored. I used to set up there, $10 per day. At the corner along the hiway was a longtime running produce market. It was one of the big attractions for Harpers Ferry tourism. Everybody there for other things like playing in the river (swimming/tubing/rafting/canoe/kayak), checking out Historic Harpers Ferry and it's shops & restaurants, camping, and a few came to visit the National Battlefield. The battlefield is the least of attractions. Don't get me wrong, I'm big on history and have visited all the Civil War sites in this historically significant region. But the site just adjacent to the drive-in/flea market was just a preserved farm that you hardly ever see anyone drive into.

I admit I'm negative on it because The Battlefield Trust chaps my butt. They came along and bought the property the drive-in/flea market is on and shut it down. I think that was a shot in the foot. People came from all over to go to that flea market, and if they had time to spare would go check out the battlefield. This land sits right along US340, an elevated grade about 30' dual hiway. At the far end of the property from the hiway is the old road that takes you up to a river rafting outfit with brightly color school buses, a zip line, and other razmataz. Nothing very pristine history about this property and it just sits there overgrown with the fruit stand and old drive-in sign falling down. I don't know why, other than being full of themselves and their hoity toity hifalutin attitude, they couldn't have continued leasing to the flea market. A lot of local people of low income relied on that flea market as a suppliment to their well being. But there were also antique dealers there from Washington, DC showing up in their Mercedes Benzes.

Ok, rant off

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Crazy temps out your way. When was the last time you saw single digits?

The was precious cargo bring those pieces back home. Did you have a police escort? Looking good. The K/10 will really come together now. I've had those same pieces to my '67 stuck in no body work hell for years. I hauled parts a few years ago to a friend's so his brother (also friend) who does perfect work could prep them. His brother got divorced, didn't have a place to work in his new digs, the other brother moved, and my parts are packed in behind his hoard of parts. I took them over to speed things up

Those look good. Just be careful carrying them over there. You don't want to get fresh ochre on the blue one or the green one.
