Buzzin Dozen

I have a funny story to tell.

I lived In Ellensburg Wa for a time, twenty five years worth, and that was twenty years ago. I was working for a repair and towing shop in
the late eighty's. One night I had to meet the owners son at the shop for a state patrol impound we had to pick-up on I-90. Rather than take
the big unit to tow it in, we just headed out in a one ton tow truck. I was to drive the impounded truck back to the yard.

The truck driver was from S.D. and arrested with a warrant for eleven failures to appear in court. The truck was a real nice K100 with a
110" cab and a drop deck with a tarped load. The driver was in the back of the patrol car. I walked back and checked the truck out and
smiled when in I saw the Buzzin Dozen -12V-71 under that cab with twin turbos:)

I walked back to the cop car and said out load so the driver could hear it {Damn this things a hotrod, this is going to be fun. The driver
came unglued. The stater smiled and laughed and took off, I was right behind him all the way to town. And that driver face was plastered
to the back window of that cop car. I could tell he was screaming. That truck did run and I treated it right.
