  • Back in 1976, I was driving a 2.5 ton flat flat bed pulling a flat bed 22 footer, I left Phoenix, Az., empty to El Centro, California to pick up a load of 60 40 Ammonia Nitrate Fertilizer, I was pulled over by the CHIPS for an inspection on I8, the Smokie actually got out the white gloves he climbed underneath the duce1/2 and proceeded to wipe down the underside of the truck. The week before I had sandblasted the truck underneath and frame and then repainted it black, the cop couldn't believe it to be this clean, the company I worked for had 12 of these trucks. These trucks were called FABCOs they were field trucks all wheel drive 3axel, usually they're loaded with caked on mud, in Arizona. The highway cop thought he was going to write tickets for a half hour, he asked me if I had scrubbed the bottom of the truck with a toothbrush, I still laugh about that to this day. Well Mad Mike I love your utube presentations, God Bless and Keep The Rubber Side Down: Keep On Truckin.

  • That's true, about the cops out there. When Route 66 was the only way through Gallup NM, there was a cop that would sit back under a railway trestle along the Santa Fe and catch motorists coming off of I-40 down into town from the east end of town. That was 1978, but I don't think much has changed.

Ironically, he was not really a Native American but actually an Italian American from New Jersey who embraced the Native American Life and Culture. Feel free to look up and verify that because it's true. Thanks for the view of Bisbee, Arizona. A Dear friend of mine was going to show me around there because she grew up in Bisbee. However time and life conspired against me and unfortunately she passed away before I got the chance to come out and see the town. Take Care and Happy Travels Always!

Mr. Cody said he was born in Oklahoma territory to a father, Thomas Long Plume, who was a Cherokee Indian, and a mother, Frances Salpet, who was Cree. His father performed in Wild West shows and circuses. Although the television and movie-viewing public generally think of Mr. Cody as an American Indian, his heritage was questioned in 1996 by The New Orleans Times-Picayune, which reported, based on an interview with a half sister, May Abshire, and baptismal records and other documentation, that Mr. Cody was a second-generation Italian-American from Louisiana."
