HEY check out the "Like" button Jeannie added! cool!

Ed, you and Pete probably have the best trucks that represent Fathers Day on the entire 'net! I got your email too. It sure seems survivor trucks like yours and that International are getting very popular. I got no GMC's of Dad's but I have one of Mom's.

I noticed that the International has a "Miro-Flare" on the ground in front of it. Several years ago I was buying some parts from a '55 GMC at a local "Pull a Part" and a whole set of them were in the box of the truck plus one extra. I thought they were cool and bought them too. I bead blasted and painted them to be wall hangers in the shop. Well about a year later I found info that they were offered as an optional accessory from GMC in '55 and '56 and maybe more years. They had probably been with that parts truck since they were new! Now I wish I would have left them rusty to match my '55.

Thanks for the update, Cool paper article, Ed. Hope you and your Dad had a great Father's Day.
