Another Notch for the First Gen's!!!

[Idually]

I just needed to share with you guys!



Some of you might know... Colorado got socked by a Major Snow storm of the last two days. Lots of snow! 24" inches at our place and a couple of 4' drifts... Fun stuff.

I ventured out this afternoon in my CTD W-350. Mind you, it hasn't had a front d-shaft in it for a couple of years until today. Just hasn't needed it. I put the d-shaft in... on the wet driveway... after getting it stuck at the bottom of my OWN driveway... Anyway. Went to pickup a few munchies at the Corner Store.



My '93 is awesome! Forgot how cool a 4x4 dually is. I went to park near the store and in front of me is a plow truck in what appears to be a precarious situation. I'm thinking... 3/4 ton 4x4 FORD plow truck?, no way he's stuck. I got out and asked if my truck would be o. k. parked there for a few minutes... The guys(who were shoveling frantically) looked at me and said o. k. Me and my big mouth... I had to ask... "You're not stuck, are you?". The response was "Yes". We have been for an hour or two. A Big ole smile attached itself to my face and all of a sudden I said,"If you can find a strap(he didn't have one. What?), I'll pull you out. " The guy says "REALLY? That would be great" . I flipped my truck around(well sort of, it's an Extra Cab, Dually... Not the best turn ratio), hooked up the strap, and simply pulled him out. My truck didn't even Flinch! I was looking out the front window and didn't even realize I WAS pulling his truck out. Got him out of there, got out and smiled . He said "Thanks!... That truck is a Hoss!!" Oo. I told him "No trouble" and went on my way.



Ahhh... Good times... I LOVE MY FIRST GEN 1 TON CTD DODGE!



I REALLY wish I had my digital camera with me. A picture is worth a thousand words! Just had to share! Oo.



Hope all of you Colorado Guys are o. k. !!

That looks like a Syracuse snow storm! Glad you had fun, good job on the ford.

By the way, keep that white stuff out there! :-laf

Glad y'all are alright. Makes me miss Colorado- having actual winter weather. Was 60 and rainy here the last 2-3 days. Backyard had just started to dry out, too. And on top of that, I have a new hotrod-ish pump (160mm/ stroke) that I cant fully test out.

That's sweet Andy! I'd have bought tickets to see that! You guys got more inches that we did, but we had zero visibility - pretty bad. The roads were pretty clear, just couldn't tell which lane ya were in...

LOL... . The BEST portion of the story was when he said that he "flipped my truck around... well... . sort of. "



You should have mentioned the fact that by the time you got that truck of yours turned around, they already had time to finish shoveling the snow out of the way AND smoke a cigar... ... ... ... ... . ROFLMAO :-laf

No snow here in Iraq. 3 more weeks and I'll be back in the Springs. Mad Max, have you had fun driving my truck while I was gone?
