4. Add) If you ever go on I-44 around Joplin MO.

You may find yourself with wall to wall Trucks. One of my fondest memories growing up.

Some of them I knew from being with my Grandpa when he went to see his friends down a "Truckers" truck stop.Then some knew me by my handle "Shortstack". With my Uncle Eddy's guidance, he helped met talk with them on his CB.

5. Had a CB radio

When in my teens but I had to get rid of it, because it interfered with the neighbors TV... had fun on it though. Learned a lot from people I talked to.

8. That looks a lot like his.

His was black. He was very touchy about the colors he put in his truck.

That truck was also a business card for him. He was the best paint man in the Joplin area.
