The days of taking orders of 10 - 15 PU's, then watching him drive around town, East Bottoms,West Bottoms,NKC,parts of Midtown, then come back to a local shared dock on the west side of the Kaw to PU orders other trucking companies dropped off that we didn't PU. We would leave town daily around 2 to start making deliveries on our way home to Louisburg.

My first car inspection was at the Western Auto on Main in Belton.
The car I got inspected was the 69 Nova me and my dad completely rebuilt.
The Western Flyer wagon I got as a kid was where my 283 with a TH350 sat from when we pulled it from another car when I was 12 or so until we put it on the engine stand to rebuild when I was 15. Since then it has held a 400 w/o a transmission off the ground that my dad has 'been meaning' to rebuild forever. Needless to say, the old wagon sags a bit these days. The engine stand holds his LT1 that came in HIS 69 Nova SS he bought new, completely restored like a museum piece [the engine, not the entire car, . . . yet].
