    Pretty sure that was older. Mid to late 20s I think.

    They had cars and also an AA truck. Same cab and motor, but with a 1 ton frame/chassis and a 4 speed transmission.

    This truck is equipped with an AA 1 ton 4 speed. Granny-gear low and reverse with reverse lockout.
    One of my faves is to pull up, retard the spark and step out with it in low. I go up and shake hands and someone freaks-out on how the truck is going on down the road. I stroll over and climb in and park it!


    It was a Telephone truck in Colorado in it's younger days. A sticker found under paint on the dash testifies.

    I got the second one done and I think they are a lovely couple.
    I could not come up with a different mystical being that complimented Sasquatch, so I went with Mrs Sasquatch.

    Obviously the one on the left is female. She has lovely eyes and a youthful complexion.

    And the one on the right looks as if he is feeling guilty about something, but can’t remember what. Must be a male.
