Was drooling yesterday over a bump (literally)

[basketcase0302]

Was in the bucket working on some lights and in pulls one of the most beautiful 71' F series I'd ever laid eyes on/ dark blue (my favorite color) on his way to the show in Pigeon Forge to sell it. I talked to the guy for a minute (put in a plug for Fordification as usual). He said it had a 351W in it. This truck was showroom trophy winning shape and he "squawked" the tires when he grabbed 2nd gear when pulling away! Wish i coulda' stopped long enough to grab the camera...

I hear ya. There is one around here that is soo perfect. Then there is the restored 56 up the street. I can't count the times I wished I'd have had my camera.

Jeff,

Your "word pictures" were more than convincing that it was a perfect Bump. Coming from a fellow member is enough for me.

Sounds like it was pretty nice. Thanks for sharing.

Now, next time, don't forget the damn camera... scheesh!

That's comin' from a guy that's NEVER posted ONE SINGLE PICTURE here... talk about scheesh...

Truck sounds nice - but why is he going so early? Pigeon Forge is a month away

He Was Probably headed up for the spring grand rod run, just got back myself. Lots of hot rods and classics, didnt see many bumpsides,though. That will be different next month!

i've actually been seeing bumps around here this spring. most are looking like survivours or redone at one time or another. i just look at them as we pass.

Yep, you were right on the money. I didn't know about this one, (I have a relative there that was stuck in the traffic yesterday). I wouldn't mind being stuck in that kind of traffic.
