I got a plan with my Diamond Shamrock credit card, and it seems like a pretty good deal for towing and road service. You might want to check it out. Smokey '50 3600 5-window
I saw an AD work truck today, maybe a '51 or so, looked like about a 2 ton, and had been around the block a few times. It had a stake bed, loaded down with whatever, and the driver looked like he bel
