Sid there is a picture on Mark Dents site, doesn't show the back or grill, gotta
make a web site one of these days, lots of go fast bomb haulers from Nam.and big
boat pictures taken over 20 years.
I put my truck in the shop last month (Hit a deer) before they called to say it
was done, my son called to say he hit one with my Van. so I had to drive my
roadster
to the riverbottoms to go deer hunting. Revenge!! got a 160 lb doe first season.
Waiting for Jan 18th for pistol season.
Russ Southwell 70 1600, 4 dead 2L 1 truc and van with new front ends.
