The trucks look all comfy with their blankets on.

I take it that your job is in sales? If so what company and or products do you work for or sell? Which companies do you call on in the area?

Yes this was a snow storm that dumped more snow than usual for our area. This is more common 60 miles north in Flagstaff AZ or your neck of the woods in Minnysnowda.

Comfy for who? Not these trucks or this Arizona native it is way too cold for my blood. Four straight days of 19 degrees in the mornings is enough for me. I don't know how people that live in the real cold country can handle this all winter long.

We snuggle Polar bears to keep warm in the "real cold" areas.

I'm in medical sales and I'm there at the hospital almost every Monday and sometimes on Tuesday. Next time I'm there on an over nighter I'll give you a shout, love to come and see your fleet.

No Polar Bears here in Arizona, I guess the significant other and more blankets will have to do.

Arizonies have adapted to the heat like reptiles when it gets cold we move around in slow motion. It is strange how age makes you change your thoughts. I was the same way when I was young. I bought a brand new 1987 Chevy Short Bed 4x4 and did not even think about a Crew Cab, it did not look right to me either. Now Crew Cab trucks are the only trucks I want.

Check out what I found while searching EBay. It is a rendering of a 1966 Crew Cab truck on a tee shirt that resembles my 66 Crew. Has any one on this forum bought any tee shirts from this vendor? I'm not real sure about purchasing something outside the good old USA.

Good eye Jon! I didn't notice the change in the placement of the emblem.

66Gilbert · 04-13-2015, 12:02 AM

The 66 Crew made the May issue of Street Trucks Magazine down in Phoenix at Dino's Pre-Show Git-Down.

Me too! I have waited a log time to find 4x4s in this part of the world. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to load two trucks with flat tires with each having one frozen rear brake on the side of a mountain in the dark while in a hard rain. Crazy

Awesome! A double hitch hiker score, and 4x4's to boot. You don't see that everyday. Theses must have been bought to used on a farm or ranch?

wolfdaddy · 04-26-2015, 01:05 AM

Great Answer! They were from a farm.

Jeff La · 04-26-2015, 10:51 AM

Now you don't need two, I can take one off your hands for you if you like. LOL Great score.
