[Heel n Toe]

Craziest was probably when I was in high school... this was probably about '67 or '68. My dad had bought a '51 Ford F-100 to use hauling hay for my sister's horses and for any truck-related duties associated with some property we had on a small lake out near my grandpa's house.

It had a flathead V-8 in it and one afternoon I was driving out there by myself, and for the last 3 miles or so, I decided to open it up. Hwy. 9 was relatively straight along in there, but was hilly.

She hit 90 going down the last hill. I forget what gear ratio the diff was, but it wasn't made for speed... she was tapped out and wound up tight as a tick.

Bench seat. No belts. If she had blown a tire, I'm sure I wouldn't be here today.
