With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein and Julie Andrews....

Ancient Ford pickups with bias ply tires,
Real flathead engines and cloth covered wires,
Full floating axles with overload springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Flatbeds and flaresides with 6 volt ignitions,
Bench seats and cab lights and crash box transmissions,
Faded out paintjobs without any bling,
These are a few of my favorite things

Wheels with stock hubcaps and unaltered dashes,
NOS fenders without cracks or bashes'
Mufflers and tailpipes not tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the clutch slips, when the seal drips
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so Sad,
And then I don't feeeeel so bad.......
