    I can only say that back in 1968 telephone poles cost $450 to replace and 200 sq ft of corn was $200.

    I got an email flier this morning about a sale at Office Max. The information wouldn't copy but here is basically what it said about a paper laminator.

    ON SALE $35.00
    REGULAR PRICE $19.95

    Our fence, the pole, emergency services and the power company all go on his bill. Alongside the tickets.

    Thank you! Cant wait to use it at the track, already impressed with it so far.

    Shirt when driving the Bird truck camper. :badwords:No shirt when boating.
    I'll admit that was some cool :bs:
    I'll bet it bottomed out on a lot of roads and boat ramps. Plus 5MPG was okay back then.

    Those campers had their own set of wheels. If you blew a tire, it wiped out the side of your car.

    Our 1969 F350 Crew Cab Camper Special, with deluxe Kit camper, had a tri-power 390 with four speed, and just the 19-gallon tank at the back of the cab. It got about 5 MPG. Going down the then-new Interstate, 5 MPG. Climbing a steep hill, 5 MPG. Going downhill with the wind directly at our back, 5 MPG.
