Cattle truck

I bought a cattle truck yesterday. It belonged to my Late Uncle Ron and I bought it from my Aunt Ann. It's an old Bobtail with a dump bed. We went out to the ranch today to look it over. Poured in some brake fluid, checked the oil which was fine and the water which was great too. The battery was dead but to be expected when a truck sits for two years. Jumped it with my pickup and it fired right up! :D So we brought her home........almost! Two miles from the house lost the right front thanks to gravel roads on this desert. Got it jacked up and the tire off before dark. Hoping to get her home tomorrow. I'll post pictures when we find our camera or buy a new one. I know it's just an old truck, but I am very proud to own it. The man who owned it before me was as fine a man as you'll ever meet. I'd like to think he approves his nephew driving it. As I followed my wife home over the mountain, I kept getting stuff in my eyes. Had to keep looking at the passenger seat cause I sure didnt feel alone. Kinda proud of an old truck and wanted to share with ya'll. :wink:

That sounds like a pretty neat deal for you 'H. It's fun to get something old from your family that will prove useful to you and has sentimental value to make it special. Hope you haul lots of loads of heavy cattle on it for many years. Cheers!

did you get that tire fixed yet? where are the pictures? :)


Ol' H is probably still sortin' through the moths in his wallet for cash to buy a new camera. :wink:

Oh come on now it could be the leather dried out and it won't bend open. :wink:

or maybe he forgot what rock on the mountain he hid it under. :wink:

How bout i draw ya'll a picture with words since I havent visited civilization to buy a new camera.............. Imagine with me now, a really old cattle truck, bobtail style, with a flat, splitrim tire that nodoby will fix........ Imagine a mechanically handicapped guy taking off a dual to put on the front and limp it home........ Imagine some rust and some kangaroo rat nests and leavings......... Imagine me punching you three screwballs up side the head a dozen times for teasing me......... Imagine that! :roll: :lol: :wink:

P.S.
No actual idiots were harmed in the making of this imaginationally filled story. :p

P.S.S.
Might head for town tomorrow, due to severe peer pressure, and look for an old Kodak instant style camera just to be able to get some monkeys off my hind end! :roll: 8) :D

What do you mean not idiots were harmed. You may have caused severe and possibly irreparable imaginary psychological damage to their imagination. Not to mention the imaginary image of monkeys on your hind end. :roll:
