Coffee shop part 2

Well, I went out and bought myself a new engine. No, not a locomotive but an engine that came with this pickum-up. This is my first all new truck in over 45 years of driving. This will certainly put a dent in my MR purchase power .

"I love my truck!"

 

[L&N Castle]

Hello Rex. That there is one SWEET pickum up truck. Is that a F-150,by chance? I am a little green with envy. But,seriously sir,it looks great.Congrats.William.

 

[rhoward]

Heeeeeyyy, Rex! That ain't no pickemup truck. That there's a stretch limo wit a little truck bed stuck behind it.......

Looks great! Hope you has a lot of fun with it. Wish I could afford a new truck..... Oh well maybe in a few years.

Now you have a great excuse to join that modular railroad club that "needs help getting to train shows." I mean she can't turn you down now

 

[RexHea]

Thanks guys for the compliments and loads of laughter.
I just realized how the truck dwarfs me in the photo. (Shut-up CJ! I don't want to hear it. ) Now let those danged U of Bama students try running me off the road. Yum! Yum! I already had the itch to buy a new truck since the wife and I want to get back into camping and when I found out that Ford had 0% interest for financing until the end of this month, I leaped into action.

Stretch Limo with a truck bed. That's funny...I like it. Hahahaha!

[IronBeltKen]

Rex - looks like you picked up a mighty fine pickM'up! It even carries people, what'll they think of next!

Well my Philly presentation came and went. Lotsa vacant seats, not standing-room-only like the guy ahead of me. I truly believe that the number of people who show up at a clinic is inversely proportional to the amount of time one spends preparing for it

I'm headed out to the wilderness for awhile, no internet there, so I won't be able to chat with you all for awhile Take care

 

[RexHea]

Thanks Ken. It sounds like your a bit disappointed with the turnout for your presentation. I am very sorry, but maybe the guy before you just wore all of them out.
I can guarantee that you will have a good turnout here.

Hello gent's

and Claudia,

Rex is that a very big truck or are you just kneeling up
you will be able to help Carey shift the dirt at his friends now, what do you say Carey, mind you it's a long way up to the truck's bed, does it come with a ladder

Just getting ready for a trip to the "Diesel day" on the East Lancs railway with the young'uns, should be good fun riding behind freight engines.

Kenhave a great trip Ken, the break will do you good

 

[Bill Tidler Jr.]

Good morning ! from Indiana.

Mornin' Bill!

Hey Rex, now this hears a "real" truck these days:

 

[rhoward]

Ken, I bet the people who stayed for your presentation loved it! Be sure to share on line. We want to see it!

Rex, I keep going up to the Dodge Dealership here in town and suggesting to the owner that Dodge should make a Dakota that is a real truck. All they have to do is chop off the cab right behind the drivers seat and make the rest of it a truck bed for hauling stuff. I just saw a super stretch club maxi cab on a Dakota that had a 4 foot bed behind it...... But sure had lots of leg room for the people in the back seat.

 

[Steve B]

Ray i don't think rex could get that Limo / camper thingy in to his garage

 

[RexHea]

Ray i don't think rex could get that Limo / camper thingy in to his garage

Steve: That is a Los Angeles Motor Hotel. Oh yeah, I have a ladder ordered for Carey to get into the cab .

Ray: This is my first Ford since an old junker I had back in the 70's. Man it was a dog, but ran like the best and was tough as a tank. My last two trucks were used Dodges and I still have the last...an '86. I will sell it, but really hate to get rid of it since it is in better than average condition. Dodge is a great truck, but they are very proud of them.

Know what you mean about the bed size. I had to decide on either the Super Crew cab or a long bed. To have both, would be like docking a battleship without the tugs . I will just have to let my 8 foot lumber hang over the tail gate.

NZKen: Ahhhh! "Tim the tool man", my mentor. Bigger, Faster, Power...more power. I loved that show because there was a little bit of all of us in the skits.

 

[jbaakko]

I've seen some neat trucks out here, 12' beds, a crew cab with a 10' bed (that thing was HUGE)...

 

[Steve B]

Rex sure hope Carey isn't scared of heights

 

[leghome]

I just saw a Ford truck a week ago that had three doors on each side and an eight foot bed. That sucker was long as a football field. The three doors is what really blew me away though. Have not seen it but once but that was enough for me.
