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.

'73 International Harvester Crewcab 4X4 Pickup Truck. Imagine buying that new.
Early 70s. We had a regular cab flat bed farm truck of that vintage, dually, 4 speed, 345 V8. It was a good truck, until a greenhorn got it stuck, dug it right in, and the exhaust lit the grass and burned it up.
Neighbor had one,with a bed camper. Upper bunk went over the full cab. Would take us ice fishing in it, Friday afternoon until Sunday evening. Three 9-10 year olds . Heaven!!! Fish, ice skate,listen to the old timers tell tales..fifty years ago, still miss those days..
When I worked for the county back in the early 70s, we had one of these as our work truck. Good truck.

ReplyDeleteCan you imagine Trump or JD tuning the carburetor in one of these? I know at least one politician that would love to work on that engine
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason not many of these survived. Ashes to ashes, or in this case, rust to rust by now.
ReplyDeleteThey where so heavy, with weight of a plow you didn't need to put it into 4 wheel drive
