Re: Bullnose Younger (Older?) Sister

I was looking for a 300 when I bought my Bullnose, ended up with the 460 and love it for how I use the truck.
300 gallons of water in the truck bed, a little over 8 lbs per gallon, and I dont notice it on my little county road, doing 55 uphill.
Id still like a 300 some day but its great knowing Ill never need a bigger truck. I do need to start thinking abt a new transmission, though, shes slipping a lot now.

I'd almost forgotten about the stacked headlight era!

Bedazzled Superfly Lincoln pimpmobiles yes, the rest of the cars in that era not so much.

She sure does look good in that red dress! 😍

Yes, it does look GOOD in that red dress. (As did someone else in a red dress in Bedazzled. Or did I make the wrong connections?

The clam burger was pretty gnarly...lol, lots of chewing to get through it. The scallop burger was on point though...nice big scallops enough so that you got a big fat one in every bite. They had shrimp burgers and lobster burgers on the menu, but I haven't tried them yet. They close around Christmas and won't be open again until April or so, so I guess it'll be next year.

Re: Bullnose Younger (Older?) Sister

The very last of the Ranchero's. Here we go again, its a 79 1/2 commerative edition, decked out in Thunderbird town landau leather interior with the whole 9 yards. Even the dash is leather, This is another one that gives alot of trouble with parts.

Bellies are always tender. Feet, not so much.

But you already know I'm a huge fan of scallops, and haven't had any good ones in twenty years.

That really is a beautiful Ranchero!

Ahhh, the Soft White Underbelly! 🤘

They had to play under that name in local clubs because of their record contract.

I'm amazed that I can remember anything about those shows 40 years ago.

Took my son to see BOC about 4-5 years ago along with Humble Pie!

Humble Pie still had the original drummer! Let’s say he made me feel young, but still going at it.

Had a little time this morning so despite the nasty weather occurring this weekend, went for a stroll through the jy.
Some new big trucks had came in so picked up a 4k tach and FORD radio bezel. One of them also had the flat assist handles I've seen mentioned although they were pretty scratched up.
