I think you know the rest............

He was a bit too eager?

**Hart_Rod** · 11-03-2008, 11:40 AM

Great road trip! Sounds similar to one I had when I went to pick up my crewcab (although Andy is better at commentary than I am,

). Can't wait to see the build thread. What are your plans?

Mike J · 11-03-2008, 06:57 PM

that was entertaining... thanks guys...

**fine69** · 11-04-2008, 02:22 PM

We had a blast. Road trips are much more fun when a board members get together and take them.

70rs/ss · 11-04-2008, 03:43 PM

I haven't done one like this, but I did drive to NC from AZ to deliver a 68 4X4 Burb and managed to pick up a 67 454, short fleet for the return trip. Wife and kids made it fun in a non-guy trip way, but I need to do another one. I better invite Andy so he can tell the story though as I am not nearly as eloquent as he is!

**fine69** · 11-04-2008, 04:03 PM

I would never do a trip like this with a wife and kids.

Totally destroy the "man" bonding stuff.

Trips like this should be mandatory YEARLY for board members.

Longhorn Man · 11-04-2008, 05:31 PM

I totally agree.... 2 dudes, a truck, and a mission... this is a recipie for a good time.

shadetree · 11-14-2008, 12:02 PM

"Banjo music",,,,,,LMAO. The deliverers experiencing deliverance,,,,,too much.

Yep, guys "get it" and my wife, well lets just say my 70 RS/SS Camaro, matching numbers, 4-speed, ac, yadda yadda is just a piece of junk!! She will never "get it" so allas I live vicariously through my fellow boardmembers road trips!

flatbedchev · 11-14-2008, 06:03 PM

I bet a road trip would be a blast with you 2. After having the pleasure of meeting the both of you, on 2 seperate occasions, I know how cool the both of you are. Mike has a us crackin up in Indy and Andy went out of his way to stop and visit with us on our way through Columbus.
Lookin forward to watch more stories unfold

rod86 · 11-14-2008, 08:17 PM

you guys are a crack up, what better guy to do a write up on it other than "the longhorn man"

, awsome. road trips are great fun, thanks for sharing..

First... I recognise you put a smiley on there, and you are kidding.
However, I did think long and hard about if this belonged in the 67 - 72 truck page, or in general discussion. It is a fine line.
However, since the trip revolved around a 67 - 72 truck, and not a Fiat, I figured it belonged in here, and not there.
I only say this, becouse someone will agree with your question, be it a joke or not.

Great Story Guy's, Been Thru Rockford a Few Time's...........

I Have made Numerous Road Trip's with My Brother Picking up Treasures, Some of the Best Fun I've ever Had.

That there was funny

Makes ya want to jump in a Chevy and put some miles down.

ChevLoRay · 11-15-2008, 05:09 PM

Do you have any plans to write a book, based on your road trips? I really enjoyed this saga. The descriptive terms and pix make it all work. Nice job.

PanelDeland · 11-15-2008, 07:08 PM

Maybe Classic Trucks could do an article by a amatuer.Easyriders used to do them and this would be a good one.

**fine69** · 11-15-2008, 07:21 PM

Oh, i have another road trip for Andy and i already in the works.

Ebay car,

Will keep you all posted.

Longhorn Man · 11-15-2008, 08:36 PM

Andy,

Great Story!!!

At least there were no "Ugly Burb" comments by a certain person!!

Kenny

Longhorn Man · 11-17-2008, 06:34 PM

LOL!!!! It took me a sec to figure out what the heck you were talking about!

ChevLoRay · 11-17-2008, 09:46 PM

Unless someone already said so, the Plymouth wagon is a '60. '61's had round taillights in chrome pods on the outside of the fenders. That Cougar looks like an XR-7, with the leather interior.
