    Angry Scrap truck part 2

    Scrapped my old non working van - I liked like no other
    During the floods 2011 -12 I loaded cast iron boilers into it
    hit the scales at 3900 pounds . That Ford Econoline had the 4.2 V-6 got decent MPG Slow empty same slow full & it was voluminous ,It was rusted did not run & so it goes .
    with cats received $580
    -------------
    Ok so I figured it . as per PA law I can cover rust with sheet metal.
    It seems PA law says no under carriage rust near suspension .
    I can also fix with sheet metal any hole larger then a quarter .
    I will not get rid of my fine running work truck . It does what it's supposed to ,it's a tool - I need it as it is - casual
    -------------
    New old truck 1999
    not perfect but respectable , my kids like it. particular my son .
    then realized I like this truck , carpets , power windows , even a little A/C . nice radio - It's a rugged looking truck in flat black .
    It's my truck .... it's my nice truck ..... clean .... I look ok in it ....
    it's not full of inventory at all times . I need it .Gosh why should I only have the beast as my only ride . Thats what I was crying out for , A little road respect . I need it , I work hard enough & I deserve to come home from work , clean up and take a trip down town not in my work truck but a clean truck .
    It can tow and it can be used for hunting scrap . and keeping my sanity
    ---------------
