Had a chance to buy a '59 IH 'duece and a half'  when I was in Idaho - 4x4,
four speed w/granny, flatbed, semitruck tires w/duals in the back, ugly flat
yellow cab w/black fender. Did about .02 mph in lo-lo granny - climb any
building in the vicinity. Great big 6 the size of a coffin - I drove it home,
the wife took one look and sez if you try to park that here, I'm leaving.
 She left anyway...
