Today, as fuel prices
continue to escalate, more car buyers are contemplating on getting small
passenger cars instead of bigger vehicles such as those top-selling
trucks and SUVs from Ford, giving up what they really need and want for
the sake of saving more on fuel expenses.
Anyhow, I took the sergeant up on the deal he offered. After
three months with the 101st in Dak To and Tuy Hoa, I was sent on a
temporary duty assignment (TDY) near the DMZ to learn field station
operations from the 8th Radio Research Unit at Trai Bac Station in Phu
Bai. From there it was off to Pleiku where we worked first in support of
the 25th Infantry Division and later the newly arrived 4th Infantry
Division.

This didn't happen over night. My wife and I separated
seven months before she filed for divorce. We stayed together though. We
still had a sex life, we still did things with each other and we still
took care of one another. Just like we did when we lived together. We
both liked the option of having our own space though. Sure, we missed
each other but it was nice for both of us to have the option of saying
to the other, "I just want to chill at home alone tonight" and send the
other home. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The
price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all
the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint
condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was
young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car.
To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of
sick.
Extreme accessory number one - Skyjacker extreme lift kits
for your
buy truck tires. To install a Skyjacker lift kit one
must understand that much more is involved then the kit. First we must
decide how high we want to go. Once this is decided our next task is
deciding on wheels and tires. Simply put stock wheels and tires will not
work. The Skyjacker Complete Lift Kits will push ground clearance and
aggressive looks of your truck to new heights, letting you conquer on or
off-road obstacles with complete confidence. As Skyjacker says the sky
is the limit when it comes to how much lift you want to put into your
truck. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First,
the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going
through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang,
I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in
Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery
battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to
find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was
to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave
of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly
discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first
night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. I resumed my
mission and approached the Shadow Bar. Shadow Bar is an unusual name
that had nothing to do with the building itself. The walls were bright,
white stucco with the front of the one-story building evenly divided by
a massive black door with a small glass window centered about five feet
up from the sidewalk. The few windows in the building were covered with
shades and draperies that allowed no glimpse of what was happening
inside. So
there you have it. I have listed some of the more popular accessories
for a Ford truck. Of course there are many more such as performance
tuners and if you are going all out you can completely upgrade the
suspension. That will be another post for another day however. Until
then happy trucking my friends, hope to see you out at the truck
shows.
