My first vehicle was a 1949GMC pickup. It was the 5 window truck and I wish I still had it. I drove the crap out of that truck. When I went into the military it had a blue printed/balanced 327 with a 4 speed behind it and a camero rear end in it. It rattled and it clanked but it would go down the road. I had the biggest cadillac mufflers on it that I could find. It idled down the road quietly and I kept my foot out of it in town. It looked just like any other old rattle trap pickup but when I needed to I could get around the corner down the logging roads and out of sight in a big hurry. My favorite car was a 67 camero, 4 speed, 327 with a high rise topped off with a 6 pack. It was quicker than the truck. I put it together in 69 and that car would scream. I remodeled a 69 camero in 74 after Nam but I got stupid and totaled it.
I used to love driving muscle cars and pushing them to the max.

‘69’ looked to much like a Firebird to me.
