Your Crib

**Frank Petronio** · 1-Dec-2010, 14:10

Well I wanted to see your cribs but since we've detoured into truck lore, here is my loved Ford moving East, with the U-Haul, pulled over somewhere in Idaho.

Just like Timothy O'Sullivan, in reverse.

Nice shot and the notch code look more appropriate.

ah you guys keep me "honest". I'll drop some T-Max and Plus-X codes soon just to keep you on your toes.

I think I used to be able to tell the difference between TXP and TMX in silver but once you start messing with curves in Photoshop it seems like you can make anything look like anything....

I might have to wash up the Expy and shoot a few sheets now. Like the idea.

I worked for Galpin Ford as a 'lot boy' when those fords were new! Man, I wanted one but $6 an hour wasn't gonna make it happen. I had to be happy parking them in perfect clean rows. My 2 best buddies were doing better than me and both bought new f350 pickups loaded with 460's on the same day. I tried to make it a 3-fer offering my uber-clean '56 T-Bird in trade but no avail. Looking back with perfect 20-20 retro-vision, I'd rather have the Thunderbird now.

A friend of mine had a mid 1960's Ford with 3 on the tree - except the linkage had failed years before. He had welded two or three bars into the column to operate the shift, and had to remember what the order was every time he used it.

It ain't a real pickup if it ain't got no gun rack!

Have the windows been upgraded from plastic to real glass yet?

you can keep a shotgun a thirty-aught-six with the butt resting in the passenger floor board if you want to go incognito

One of my friends spent a youthful summer working at a Ford dealership. One day, his repair shop received a pallet filled with hundreds of brand new door handles from the regional office.

"Hey, we don't need all these door handles!"
"Trust us, you will soon..."
