>I just had to respond here. So many fond memories of that airport....

My friends and I used to hang out at the airport and skateboard to punk rock music on a halfpipe ramp that we built there during high school in the late 80's. I remember listening to the same worn out cassettes over and over from the $5 tape player in my $200 Caprice Classic.

For anyone who doesn't know, the Stormville flea market is well worth the trip even if you have to drive a couple of hours to get there.

>High School---Late 80's?

$200 Caprice Classic? In my day I'd had bought 4 cars for that!

Best car I had evr bought. dollor for dollar was in 1980 I paid $100 for a solid'65 Ford Falcon station wagon. Loved that car. White with a red interior. Would still have it except for one Spring day when I was full of vim and viganer I tried to pass my buddy on the right hand side of the road and sideswiped a telephone pole. Blew out the windshield, and ALL the glass on the right side. Other than a broken heart I didn't get a scratch. Drove it to the junkyard as a matter of fact.

I'm a Chevy man at heart, but have a soft spot for Falcons, especially the '68 Sports Coupe Futura. Someday I hope to have another one of those.

>Sandor,

If you were doing that in the late 80's..did you ever go to the flea market then? I would have been one of the guys selling punk rock/classic rock and everything else lps/cassettes..usually in the center of the left field..just down from the antiques area. We uaually came in a group of 4 dealers..all set up next to each other and taking 3 spaces....a grubby lot to be sure. There weren't too many record dealers then...but ,man, were there tools..especially ilked the local auction house that dumped the contents of 2 high cube trucks on the ground..box lots that were cheaper than the dirt they sat on..ah, the good old daze.....

I'll be bringing the Rodier and the Woonsocket Bailey on Sunday..not to sell..but you can play with them if you'd like.

My sister and I bought that car in '87 when I turned 16. Sharing a car with your older sister is not something I'd recommend, but then she went off to college and I got full use for a few months until she came home and blew the engine by driving it well after the radiator failed and dumped all the coolant.

This was the first in a whole line of $100ish cars that came and went...

Just Googled 'binder pick up' - translate please

Victor Parisian - Houston

>Intenational = combine = binder?

There is a real nice blue International 1/2 ton here in town a believe its a 65 maybe as late as 67. Very clean with zero rust.

>Victor,

Sounds like you've got it. 'Binder is slang for Cornbinder, which is slang for International Harvester machinery, to include their pick-up trucks.

Whilest Ford's are probably the mosr popu;at tricks of the 30's, followed up by Chevy and Dodge I 'Binders in my opinion are way, way, way, overlooked.

Warning

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA

>Our son owned a mid-60s Travelall for a while. Back then, International sold their pickups the same way they sold their Class I (big) rigs: you could order a beam front axle, or you could order independent suspension, or you could order... So, they bought a lot of different components from a lot of different makers, and finding, say, a power steering part for a particular year of a particular front suspension (just as an example that our son remembers vividly; he tried welding said unobtainable part about five times before giving up) may now approach the impossible.

It also weighed several tons and got the gas mileage of the Queen Mary with her anchors dragging.
