  1. Mike Actually it was the child psychiatrists of the middle to late 60's, like Dr Spock, who stated that we should "just talk to" our children, NOT discipline them, that started this whole mess. The lack of "respect for authority" that this statement created has gotten progressively worse over the last 3-4 generations.

  12. Paul is correct for the pick up line, but I think for the bigger trucks GM waited until the 56 model year to introduce the new cab.

  16. 54 or 55.. by 56 I think(??) GMC had gone over to the wrap around windshield cab like Chevy???
  17. FWD The fire truck man is Gerald Burns, shop address is Palatine Ark and he lives nearby. About 12-15 years ago I saw his garage door open and parked on the shoulder and climbed the fence, Spent about an hour visiting with him. I cannot remember his email address, as I lost it in a puter crash, but part of it is roundengineman@??? He also has a 41 Ford / Buffalo that was stationed at Stewart Field in Newburg NY during the war. and the day I was there he was restoring an 30's Ahrens Fox for someone. Do you have a member listing for the fire truck club? Am pretty sure he is a member.. Hope this helps
