glad you asked ...story time,...56 chevy 48 passenger gravel road rattletrap ,, lol,,,johnny loew was driver,,we transferred to cecil conrads 53 ford 48 passenger,, in the afternoon trips, one of his chikens occassionaly sneaked a ride to school ,,.feathers on the floor seat , one of the hi school girls was the designated chiken petter/comforter /holder , lol, bus was parked in his granary , and as a 1st grader it always reminded me of home, lol ... cecil had a flat head 8 that would roar and pull hills real good , and cecil did not like to let it set idling because he said it tended to run hot , but I think he just wanted to save gas..LOL. AND he didn't always have a good battery ,, lol...the school was way up on hill in Lanesville In,, many a time , hot afternoon the bus was loaded , all were ready to go home , , cecil stomps his foot on the FORD starter peg,,flathead ,, goes whir whirl, rumpfump,fum , crunk no go ,, we were the last to leave ,,the big boys would hop off ,, and get behind the bus and push til cecil dumped the clutch and the flathead roared to life,, after that happened , cecil asked Kenny to let him go 1st , and he would oblige, ever so often ,,the bus would not start, cecil would wave Kenny to the back of the dead battery FORD ,, Kenny had a new 64 international with a great big shiny front grill,,he could haul 60 kids, With the big boys guiding him thru the back of the Ford ,he eased that new IHC behind the Ford and nudged it no more than a car length and cecil would dump the clutch and had that Ford running like a champ ,.. imagine all the turmoil in
TODAYs headlines if just one of these events occur to our pampered kids ...I thought it was an adventure ...
