[AT] Ralph, shut the door!

Ralph,
     That sure is a nice old truck.  In 1958 my dad had a '52 grain and 
livestock truck.  I think it was an L-180 but I am not sure about that.  
At any rate it was a two-ton truck.  It was a nice truck, box and hoist, 
4-speed with 2-speed axle, one of the IH 6 cylinder engines that 
absolutely refused to start when it was cold. Being in the livestock 
hauling business, that did not go over well and it got traded off for a 
new 1959 Chevrolet C-60.  It looks like yours may be converted to 
12-volt.  Whatever, it sure does start much nicer than ours ever did.
     We were 8 above here near Sioux City this morning.  Some of your 
chilly air got this far south already.
