Still have the truck, still have the engine, although I wrecked it a few years ago and I'm not done putting it all back together again.

I think there are pictures on my web page (yes, the typewriter museum)

(ps I watched Airport recently...now I remember where I heard that name....)

My parents gave me a 73 Ford station wagon, did a lot of stupid and illegal things in that. The first car I bought with my own money was a 75 Mustang. No idea what happened to either car.
