Ziggy, I do have a truck, 2010 crewcab hemi Ram 1500.
Funny you memtioned wind on the Skyway? Back in January when we were getting those wind storms. I was driving my International Durastar with 28 ft box over Burlington Skyway and the wind was pushing bad, actually pushed the truck over 3 lanes and nothing I can do. I want to put a hitch on that Durastar to tow too...

Ya I got some and a big stock pile of parts too. Been stockpiling for 20+ years. Been fortunate enough and worked good jobs to be able to afford what I have. I bought my '69 Nova back in '93. Bought the '66 racecar that is going back street in about 2004 and got the '67 last year after I sold of my '61 Pontiac 409/425++Hp 4sp car. Long story but it was supposed to be my street cruiser but wife didn't like it as it was rough and sorta done up like a "barn found" old racercar.
I bought a lot of my parts while racing and people thought the stuff wasn't worth anything or too much. So couple hundred here or there. Buy and sell and just keeping an eye out. I ALWAYS carry an emergency $1,000.00 cash. You never know when a deal will pop up. Bought a lot of stuff at the right time. The trucks are company vehicles. I don't own them, my mom does (dad passed January 2018, brother ran it till he passed in 2012 of a heart attack. I had my own machining company till 2015). I run the company and it's basically mine, but on paper. I'm her only child and now she has he only grandson. This is why I`m looking at a classic musclecar or truck as my driver. I can drive company truck through the week and winter. My buddy has a `72 I think it is, Olds 442 W30. He has ALL the options. PW PL AC tilt cruise heated seats OD P seats and EFI. Motor has some work and with 3.42 gears he takes that car everywhere. His cottage is 8 hrs from home and he`s even towed a guys 23 ft boat ti his cottage. THAT`S WHAT I WANT TO DO. DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. Don`t know if I would take it to mom place in Arizona though. That`s a bit far.....
