And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Beauty! I've got a '49, also blue, but quite a bit rustier than this one, the 5-window model, 4-speed granny. Looking forward to getting it to look something like this one. Too bad about the whitewalls, that's like wearing spats with Carhartt jeans.
I tried to get white walls for my 2013 Scion 195/60R16s, but the price was astronomical. I had white wall, bias-ply tires on all my vehicles in the 50's and 60's but they were coupes. Yes, I agree WWs on a pick-up are like Rosary beads on a hooker.
My grandfather had one in dark green....had a little tray on the dash that had a fish hook in it, which, of course, would up in my finger after he told me not to touch it....some people have to piss on the electric fence....

DeleteWhitewalls on an old pickup are wrong? No, my friend. Whitewalls on an old pickup are like a little extra spit and shine on a good pair of boots.
