>But TD, only a redneck knows what that thing is! City slickers wouldn't have a clue- but if it's an active nest they would get the message very fast!

>A nest of fire ants also does a good job of making sure nobody stays in there very long. I have had a large nest of them under the floor mat a couple times, and once found a glove box full of them that had me pulling off the highway to find the nearest gallon of full-strength Diazanon.

I was looking at the old truck. Is she a farm truck or a runner??

>The old truck is a 1954 Chevy 2 ton with about 15,000 actual miles on it. It was a fire truck most of its life in a small town and was only used to back up the faster V-8's that came out the next year. Buy it and drive it home!

Not long....

TDaniel

>I stopped using the truck in 2000 because it was so slow on the hills that I was afraid someone would get killed passing on hills and double yellow lines. It'll climb any hill up here in Granny gear but that is 3 mph. This truck needs a home on flat ground (or you could put a 454 in it). How many of you remember the 100 hp 235 six and the 2 speed axle with the knob for it on the dash? Talk about a work-out! None of my kids can drive it on a hill with a load. Ah....the good ole days.....

>I rebuilt the 235 engine in my "52 GMC pick-up. Had to be bored 80 over! It had been smoking a tad. LOL Terry, you should "donate" that old thing to a worthy charity,......me!

>Man, I was all ready to hire a truck to bring 'er home! I love old trucks.

I'll have to settle for the bee's nest....can you ship it UPS? LOL!

TD, after you get rid of...

BubbaBob

>...the truck and accompanying hornet's nest, you STILL have that F-350 to protect. I would suggest that a UGA Bulldog tag welded to the front bumper to make it permanant would protect it from the smart people in GA...you know, the fans of the North Avenue Trade School, AKA GA Tech, where the football players can actually read and write.
