Garbz, sounds great,let me know what time,there are all kinds of restaurants at Cambridge, right on 70.It is 45 minutes south of my home.You have my cell and home phone,if not let me know. See you then. Merle

While you are in Amarillo eat at Henk's BBQ. Little hole in the wall dive but great food at a real fair price. It is about a block North of I-40 on Grand Street.

Hell if I get my 65 to a point of putting exhaust on it by then I will meet you there.

We stop @ the Big Texan when we pass through & get a belly full since we don't run that way much maybe once a year since trucks have a rust up there not a big sheet metal place anymore Maybe he can try the 72 ounce steak with all the trimmings, I seen last time in there they got a new pet rattlesnake in there since the last one died, He was getting pretty old,,, Let me know where in Phoenix you are kicking since we usually stay close to the Fling J on west side of town safe driving Tom @??????

Flying J on the West side of town. Would that be Buckeye? Brother in law lives there. Wife was born in PHX.

Thought it was law to Arrive in Amarillo by Morning.... at least that's what George Straight said.

Best o' luck bud. Hope all goes smooth. What rig are ya driving and which are ya towing?

Garbz, good luck on the trip. I presume you will be traveling to St. louis on I70. You will be passing about 100 miles north of me at the Indiana, Illinois state line. If you have trouble and need help, give me a call. 618-384-7037 cell.

Native Texan law only.

The Fling J is out on 67th ave close to I-10,, I can remember when we run out there I-10 was not even there had to run Buckeye Rd. from where it is now I-17 west several miles then pick up 10 out there by Goodyear or you can take I-8 down by Casa Grande to Gila Bend exit go north back to I-10 back in the 70's & 80's, Now as far as Roswell N.M. When you come into town take the U.S. Hwy out of town going west & there used to be if it is still there a real old Junk Yard with a lot of old Fords but remember when we were there last time I swear he seen one Alien too much but of course that week was Alien Week so the whole town was dressed up for the ocassion

Garbz, good luck with the move/trip! When you go through Springfield, MO be sure to eat at Lambert's , home of the "throwed rolls". They serve their HOT dinner rolls by throwing across the dining room at you. Excellent food and portions that even Jr can't finish.

Tom, I used that salvage yard a bunch when I was putting the 390 in my 62. The owner even sold me a trans adapter out of a truck at his house. I left Roswell a couple of days before the 50th anniversary of the crash. Town was FULL of oddballs!!

Oddballs huh?
But they got them stylish hats.............
