Saw a really sweet dump truck in town the other day. About a 58 Chevy. It was in really good survivor shape. Maybe a an older restoration.

"A really sweet dump truck"?

Sam Barris was a very talented customizer in the 1940's through 1960's southern CA scene.
His brother George was a self aggrandizing attention whore who dragged Sam into profitable but ridiculous crap. |

Sherman, I'm going to the bank and will be back in 15 minutes.
While I'm gone warm up the wayback machine... oh, and attach the trailer to it. |
I'll take the 63 Galaxie, sight unseen.
Even better if'n it has one o' them bubbly hoods. |

1966 Mustangs by Barris...
|
I hope someone kicked George right in the nuts for that.
|
I know trying to make a ford look like a Pontiac.
|
Gonna take more than a split grille and some tail lights...
And he ruined two Mustangs in the process. |
My masonry instructor had several Mustangs, one was a pink convertible Shelby GT350.
It was marked up like a Shelby anyway. |

Watch your youth pass by...
|
What motorcycle is that? And the truck under it?
|
Maybe Hogan’s Heroes and Jurassic Park?
|
Jurassic Park is the green one on top. Though there have been several Jurassic Park movies.
|
The truck underneath is a gas powered Jeep from Jurassic Park, the original movie.

This may be the bike...
|
That looks right.
|
Maybe the trailer is on its way to Universal Studios?

Even blew the airbag...
|
I put in my old clunker pickup for a new master cylinder once. It would stop, eventually, but you had to plan ahead. The shop put a big sign on the steering wheel that read "Bad Brakes", just so the mechanic would be forewarned. Bet that didn't happen here!
|
Do airbags still work only above 35 mph?
|
No, the airbag is supposed to trigger at a force/deceleration rate, of hitting a solid barrier straight on at 14 mph. But the speed varies greatly with the angle of impact and the ability of the crush zones to absorb energy.

I knew it before watching, but, Mickey Thompson was awesome. |
Yeah, I knew it too, but didn't have a clue how far his influence reached.

I imagine the restoration took a couple years and a chunck of time after that before he took the money. The dumbshit could have paid the tax and doubled or tripled the remainder. |

I was watching an episode of Antiques Road Trip from SW Scotland a little earlier when one of the presenters, Charles Hanson, took a break from buying overpriced tat and selling overpriced antiques to visit the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Heritage Trust.
He was shown an Austin Gipsy fire engine which had spent part of its working life on the Isle of Arran. Quote:
The Austin Gipsy was essentially a poor man's Land Rover having steel instead of aluminium bodywork and never sold in any great number. After his visit Hanson was allowed to drive the vehicle much to the amusement and horror of his guide. If I say that Charles Hanson is to driving what Liberace was to cage fighting, I think you'll get the picture. Link |

That Austin Gipsy looks perfect for narrow mountain roads and off road.
Over here Jeeps are used a lot by companies that have to go into buildings like factories and warehouses where aisles are narrow. |
I think the Gipsy looks an awful lot like the Jeep.
