Jon Halsey and the 1928 Model A Roadster pick-up It, too, had a gravity fed carb, but the tank was between the engine and the cowl - so never had a problem going up hill Comments re article 67019: Self imposed speed limit with Ford automobile By Jon Halsey Life's Lessons learned early on. In 1957 Jim Vaughn and I bought a 1928 Model A Roadster Pick-up from an elderly farmer who had it in the back of his barn and wasn't sure it would even run. We towed it home, cleaned out the rats nests and chicken "leavings", got it running and had a blast in it. The Model A also had a gravity fed carb, but the tank was between the engine and the cowl. I don't recollect that we ever had a problem going up hill. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2014-04-30 14:05:30 | Comments | Printable version

Did he have to scare the bear off or did the bear retreat related to all the commotion? I have to say these are great stories to read. Thanks so very much for sharing." Actually I'm not quite as much Mountain Man as my daughter thinks I am. So I can probably answer your question more accurately than she can. The bear was anxious to leave the area with so much commotion, and I was just as anxious to see him leave.
