One of the folks I worked with had a home in an upscale NW Portland neighborhood. They couldn’t even plant tulips and daffodils without having the bulb quality approved by the HOA.ski3pin said:Frank, to be honest I don't know a thing about HOA's, I've only heard stories.
Only had the stock engine and transmission in it for about two weeks so don't remember a whiny transmission. Replaced both with a built up Chevy 350 and a Turbo-400 automatic, Oldsmobile rear end and Ford power steering.Wandering Sagebrush said:Bob, you had a very nice truck. In times gone by, I had a beat up ‘52 Chevy and a straight ‘54 Jimmy. The whine of the gearbox still echos in my memory.

Great stuff, Ronin, thanks!Ronin said:hoops - 1.jpgOkay- it's nostalgia time. Boon docking somewhere northeast of Death Valley early 1986. I sold the 1965 Panel a few years ago because I also had a '66 4x4 Panel. My kids used to hide in the back and asked me to drop them off a block before school. All of their friends affectionately called it " Hoopty". I used to wonder what they called me?!
Thanks Paul.Our troop was one of the first.PaulT said:Frank,

You wear it well. You really don’t look that old.
