It started in the early months in the year 1977,
this rig brought me home from the hospitol a few days after i was born. of course it was snowing.
i dont really remember the 40 until i was 5 or 6ish and my father would let me sit in the wheel and he would turn and i thought it was the funnest ride i had ever been on, the sibblings and i would also hang from the factory roll bar and swing back and forth as the rig would turn and what not. safety not a huge issue back in the day.
there was one day when i was 14 that stands out well in my mind. i had to run to my baseball coaches house to pick up my mitt, to my suprise my father threw me the keys and said, "time to learn to drive a stick"
awesome i thought, and i waited for him to get up and follow, he never did, and followed that with a " bring her back in one piece"
well ever since then i have loved it..
