1940plymouth Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 David, Welcome aboard, two great looking trucks, looks like they led a decent life after all these years. Good to see the farming background in the photos, as I grew up on a dairy farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxer_inv Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi there David - welcome to a fellow NZ'er! Where in NZ are you? I'm now in Queensland, but my old 47 Dodge was in NZ until I bought it across a couple of years ago. A couple of good looking trucks you've managed to get your hands on. You mention it took you 10 years - did you have to gradually wear down the previous owner to let them go? As Andy mentioned, the 'other' side of this forum (for trucks) might be the go for you, but you've certainly ended up in the best place on the net for all things old mopar. Plenty of good guys and lots of technical info to be had. Welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niel Hoback Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Welcome David. Your'e a lucky guy to have two of those! OT, the salesman that I dealt with for a new Buick was from Wellington. Is it a Kiwi invasion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
