Good reason why I dont have me a Woman yet.   Once the woman comes, in most
cases the Guns and Trucks leave!

What kind and what year?   Swap me that '74 3/4 ton for my Scout and give
the Scout to her!

My "Ladyfriend" really likes my Scout.   She will be devistated to hear I am
selling it.   Maybe she will like the 3/4 ton 4X4 better!

She is a keeper.  Does she hunt also?

What is the trick?   I cant seem to find the right ones!

My folks are not so understanding when it comes to old iron.    If it were
up to them, they would have all my stuff hauled off to the scrap!   That is
sad.   Here I am trying to preserve history and they all see it as Junk.   I
dont get it?

Yes, and if anybody knows and IH and Mopar loving girls between the ages of
17-21 then hook me up!

>To make things even more IH related...


Yes...

I have one for y'all:

Who manufactured the Power Steering gears for the '70's era IH pickups?
Was wondering if there was any other setup I could use besides one off an
IH?
