she wanted to know who's house I was at.

Man, I'd be on the couch for a week!

Ryan, you're killing me with the ba-ba-cu truck.

When my wife was going through the pictures in the camera she wanted to know who's house I was at.

I told her she didn't know her.

I should be getting out of the hospital in the next few days.

That's funny right there!

Wow, how time flies! It's been a month since anyone's seen a Bump in their town (or anyone has cared).

I have seen four Bumps in the last month or so, which is a new record. The first pictured (IMG_7141s.jpg) is a '70 Sport Custom that I spotted off of US-202 in Raritan, NJ. It looks like crap (typical northeastern truck) but the owner of the garage it was parked at says it runs great. He and I chatted for a while, he said the owner puts lots of money into keeping it going. That's news I like to hear!

The next two are actually in my town! Now that I moved to PA I found a few. The green one was in someone's back yard but I spotted it when I was riding the train one day.

I saw another one last night, but didn't get a picture because it was too dark. It's too much of a stretch anway, since I'm traveling for work in North Carolina. Still, it was nice to see a '70 flatbed out on the road.

ive spotted like 30 since 2 months ago or so. there all over the place up here. my dad and i counted 15 on just one trip to HF and back.

its just a matter of being able to whip out the camera in time, which i havent mastered. so i only have a few pictures of one truck.

its frusterating not being able to card people driving right next to you... perhaps a card launcher is in order?

Ive seen plenty of bumps lately. But like Ryan said...cant get the camera out in time (when driving), or I dont usually carry it with me, and no camera on my phone.

Yes...my phone is "old skool"

Curious did california make ford and the other companies move the tanks to the bed only back then?

Pulled up next to a real nice bump yesterday. Think it was a 69 Ranger, the grille looked familiar. It was the first "good lookin" bump I've seen in Montana.

People around here still actually "use" their trucks. You know, for "work" and stuff. Pff. Work is for people who don't know how to fish.

Put some time into that ol' Ford, don't just run it into the ground!!!

I felt kind of stupid trying to talk to the guy. I was driving the wif's Toyota Yaris.

Not in the bumpin' era, my '71 still has an in cab tank.

I see way too many to photograph them as they roll by (and most of the are still working hard), California is a nice place for people who like old cars

They towed this one into the gas station and it dosen't have license plates,
I'm guessing it hasn't been run in a while.

This is the only bump in my town (next to mine, of course )

Bumps in Australia are "uber" cool and rare !
