Every Little Boys Dream (In the '50s - '60s anyway)

This type truck is what got me working evenings weekends and summers!! this one is just a pic off the net but that cab color is about the color of the one I bought. 3 on the tree , under dash A/C that was an ice breathing dragon!! Buddy helped me change out the axle gears and we built a 350 that would flat scoot! Was stationed at Ft Bragg and received orders to go to Geissan Germany and everyone told me I should sell it cause I would not be able to get parts for it over there!! Sold it to a good guy that still has it in South Carolina.

Huge regret LOL !!

Wow. You forget how good looking she was (and is). Add to that, it was all her. She would beat out any chick that's considered top shelf today. Eliminate all the models/actresses today with cosmetic surgery, she has no equal

My first car was a surplus Jeep. I worked all summer to take it to bare metal using just hand tools, then my Dad had it sand blasted and painted it metallic blue with white naugahyde seat covers. Was a lot of fun, but a bit "chilly" in winter.

My first guitar amp was tuck’n rolled in Naugahyde.

Remember the old military Jeeps? The military deemed them unsafe because the rear wheels would "tuck" and they Jeep would roll over. The military in their wisdom took care of the safety issue, they cut all the Jeeps in half and scrapped them. Then they spent millions of dollars on Humvees.... then they gave many away in the Mideast to Iraqis which then ended up in the hands of ISIS. Why couldn't they just tell the troops to drive safely? Or just give the Jeeps to ISIS?

Those were M151 MUTTS not jeeps. Jeeps had solid axles.
