Do they even make straight trucks anymore? 1936 - Dad was driving Bernard Wirkus's truck from Arkansas to Iowa with a load of lumber. He came over a hill near Atlantic and ran into another truck that had slid on the ice. The load came forward and smashed the cab. Wirkus had put his feet up on the dash to brace himself and really messed up his back. Dad was cut and bruised quite badly. They spent the night in the hospital. In the morning, Dad went to look at what was left of the truck. A guy standing there explained to him that two men had died in that truck yesterday. I have a picture of the truck somewhere. On another note, I have a toy stake truck - 1954 or 1955 IH that I've had since then - missing the stakes, though.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
