[AT] History Exam, now kid memories

[Cecil Bearden]

I rebuilt a lift on a one ton 1985 ford 1 ton for a fellow here.  It had 
a 12 ft dump bed on it that was a load in itself.  He is a contractor 
and it is nothing for him to have 25000 on this truck.  In fact when he 
brought it in here, It must have had 20,000 of iron in the bed and I had 
to repair the dump....  On top of everything else, it usually has a flat 
since he is on construction sites......
