Going thru the different post, I see some of you have some great stories your telling. I like to hear some more. I use to have a 41 Ford Truck that would be called a rat rod now, but back when I was 18 and with the money I could spend on it after working at a local gas station, it was all I could ask for. It had a hopped up 53 merc flattie with dual 94's 3/4 race cam and edelbrock heads. It was channeled 4" and the bed was cut 12". Now the funny part. I couldn't afford a new gas tank and couldn't find one at the junk yard so I used a 55 gallon drum and welded it right against the front of the bed of the truck. Now making$1.25/hr. didn't leave much money to spend on my girl so it was either the girl or gas and I voted for the girl(wrong mistake). Even though I was paying only .29 cent /gallon it seemed every Friday night I would have to call my Dad and ask him to bring some gas as I ran out. After awhile he wised up and brought just enoug to get me home saying you have a 55 gallon tank and you only put in 3 gallons of gas. Either put in more gas or don't drive. Didn't have much of an answer as Uncle Sam called the next week.
