The sad thing is I am not tall at all! My wife is just short 6' 8 and 6' 10 that is tall! I hate it when I have soldiers that are that tall. It is just hard to dig into there @SS! Or easier considering!

they have more legroom than newer trucks. i'd have to agree with you.
I'm fairly new to FORDification. How do you link a picture/image to the box that appears over my username beside what I've typed as a message/reply in the forums? More related to this forum topic, how do I post a picture in amongst what I've typed in my message/reply? I hope this is the correct forum category to ask this in. If not forgive me for being a greenhorn.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Dan, I still think one of them would make one hell of a tow truck, bet it could handle a newer holmes wrecker with under lift and the full compliment of chains and other wrecker gear. Can't handle worse than the 01-09 f650's.

This great song mentioning a flatbed Ford was released on May 1, 1972, the band’s first single. 72 was a good year, ah yes.

that picture makes you look like someone said something of interest to you. and you looked over and said huh? like it was something serious. i could get along with you pretty easily i think.
I'm generally very laid back, but love a debate and will always agree to disagree to keep friendships. I am however a nut and have an off sense of humor, some don't get it others are amazed just how funny I am, and deal with situations no matter how awkward they come. On a serious note, I'm one of the growing lucky peoples who gets the fancy label of bi-polar.
Bad genetics... dealing with 7 sisters, an older brother who got the hell out early... having no father (basically an estrogen festival) real poverty and a mean as hell mom... I think I done good to get here... some bi-polars go from depression to mania a "severely elevated mood" sounds somewhat desirable and enjoyable. I more or less get into a very driven state of anxiety/depression and don't think straight. It's up and down, generally down lately with life's circumstance.
Here's a story that get's a few laughs and will give you some insight to my sense of humor. I decided I wanted to figure out what the #$%? philosophy was which I'll get to at the end of the story. As was the case, took a class, and I got a pretty off fella as a professor. By off I mean he was always stuck in his head, personality was a straight line, and his sense of humor was dry as gin on hot pavement. I got to a point of finding more and more of this guy to be entertaining. I never missed a minute of his class. All the while in group discussions you'd hear a blonde, usually a hot blonde say "well I think the message was about ______ n'stuff. Plug in what you want in the blank lines. The point is most people didn't get the guy, and figured out that philosophy was about n'stuff.
Story's get''n long so I'll move on to say I was at the time engaged to be married to my sweet sixteen.. (damn I #$%? that marriage up) and hadn't told any classmates or the instructor. I thought I'd planned the wedding to occur during spring break, but I F'd up the date and had it the week after. So I disappeared from class for two weeks, honeymoon and all. When I returned the instructor looked at me inquisitively and asked "what happened to you?" I told him in a complainant voice "oh, I had to go to a wedding." and that was that.
About halfway thru the class he looked at me a bit confused and didn't say a damn word for what seemed like a minute. He then said "had to go to a wedding?" and busted out laughing, falling over the podium laughing to the point he lost his breath. He saw the new ring on my finger. It was an inside joke at that point, class was just looking at each other. I ended up hanging out with this fella, Anderson from time to time drinking some cold ones. Wonder if he's around these days?
You're right ford man... something came across the table that put me in a deep thought. I was in New Orleans (wouldn't wish that city on nobody)visiting my twin sister who's a lot like me. As for philosophy, it's about "thinking about" questions that don't have an answer therefore don't matter a damn bit. I get stuck in my head more than not, but not thinking about questions... usually chasing my own tale.
