norm grabowski's Henway truck

[hagar]

Anyone have pictures or information on Norm Grabowski's Henway truck? It's been around for years as his shop truck.

<font color="green">You talking about the Chevy/GMC truck? Step-side?

I think I may have some from A Pinhead deal we had and he got that thing striped to the hilt.

Or are you talking about "Boogie til you Puke?"

This is the truck Norm is driving now. 1937 Ford 1 1/2 ton. Notice the shovels serving as rear view mirror mounts.

Last time I saw the Henway was the first time I met Norm....Memphis Tenn Nats-1980....in the early morning he aske me if I had any beer!!

Rashy any chance of lossing the Manson thing? takes up a lot of screan and geting kinda old.

The FIRST time I saw the Henway was in the early '70s at Street Rod 'Nats in Tulsa....there were three of us (including Unkl Norm) drinking beer, putting the empty cans in the exhaust stacks of the Henway, firing it up and blowing the cans about 50-feet into the air! (Of course, my memory of this event is a little faded...my brother related this story to me after we sobered up!)

Oh boy! That beer-car blasting exhaust at the Tulsa Nats was something. They wandered through the fairgrounds blowing stacks full of cans up in the air and there were rodders scranbling to deflect them when they came down on or near cars. Those days there was a lot drinking on the grounds and also there were the "Show Us Your Tits" that truck bed riders displayed when passing all our lovely wives and girlfriends in their hot pants, hiphugger jeans, and shelf-cut Tees.

Norm's in very bad shape right now with the big "C". He's decided to go to Mexico for some non medical treatment and has everything up for sale to help pay expenses. He not only need some buyers, but a ton of prayers for his old Hot Rodding buddies

I've got photos of that truck somewhere in the archives. I also faintly remember drinking an extreme amount of beer with a bunch of folks and one guy ending up getting painted up with body paint by a couple of Canadians after he got a bit numb. Standing in that long line for the Saturday night "barbecue" and awards with Tex Smith and his buds was interesting though. We got to hear a few good stories in that time period.

[jandlcars]

sorry to here Prayers for him and family
i met Norm at one of Andys picnics in Valejo
he was parked close to my truck
we talked for a while

[customcory]

I wish I knew the alternative treatment. I wonder if it involves shooting cannibus THC straight into the tumor, becauce I hear that works sometimes. But I bet its something else. I worry about the guy.

[32STUPRES]

Here's a vintage shot of the Henway...circa 1974? I think this was just prior to moving from California to Arkansas..

[von Dyck]

Hang in there, Norm. Fond memories of being at your place on Bull Shoals Lake back in Nov. '02. "Northern Kookie" is still runnin' strong - drive it every summer. John
