    You may remember my dad and uncle and I’m sure many others if you frequented Horatio Hunt Club. There were only 3 knot headed boys down there on a regular basis, that would’ve been me,my brother, and one other. Not sure how old you are but that was when it was a dog club and prior to Bruce rebuilding our old club house.

    I wouldn't paint it. If you care to, those old paint jobs sand and polish up extremely easily and leave a patina that tells the story you won't want to cover up.

    Leave the finish like it is, that’s a history of your dad’s life. Fix up the rest and drive it with pride. That truck is cool as it is.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Wow Kyle, that brings back some memories. I rode many a dusty mile in the cab and bed of that old beast. That bad boy has hauled out more venison than most for sure. I can still hear that old engine turning over. Nothing could stop it.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

Saw the biggest buck of my life on a dog drive right behind the judge's barn. So many memories growing up down there. Tom, Gene Franklin, Bennie Raffield, and my dad.....they were giants in my eyes. If I am ever half the man any of them are- were I will be doing ok.

    Yessir Jimmy! Good times and good memories with many good people down there. Wish I knew then what I know now, I'd still be hangin on those fellas every word!
