48Dodger Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Looks like its going to be a nice day Saturday! The rain will roll in Sunday afternoon maybe (60%).......so glad to not have the rain scares like years past. lol 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Dodger Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Have to give a shout out to Gary Martin....he brought his 1948 Panel truck early to the ranch so he could bring his RV on friday. I've had a few days with his truck and needed to move it out of the shop to clean for the show. Gary's panel is very stock in nature, as opposed to the V8 trucks I like to build. I asked my girlfriend, Stephanie, if she wanted to ride along as I moved it to the other side of my place. The look on her face while we drove on my gravel road! loI, I said "This is what it was like back in the 40's around here.....no real pavement on the public roads til the late 60's." The smiles on our faces, the laughter about the ride, the sound, the feel....it was a great prelude to the event just 2 days away! 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was unaware that it took 20 minutes and a chaperone to move a vehicle across your yard! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobacuda Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Brent, I guess your reputation precedes you - perhaps the Redding police have heard about your truck addiction . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Things do change: Was heading to the gas station and the truck went dead two blocks from my house. Trampster is 2 hours away so I 'm meeting up with him in Selma, Ca and we will drive up together. The BBQ is more important to me than the truck, besides the exterior has not changed much so the challenge was the fun of the drive which I can always do later. A fire damaged vehicle has a LOT of hidden problems, I'm finding that out on a daily basis now that I'm driving it, so best to do a LOT of road testing CLOSE TO HOME.

HanksB3B Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Got a call from Tim this morning (he's that kind of friend when you get to know him) and I had to say diparagingly that I wouldn't make it to the BBQ this year. My wife Blanca and I had such a great time (along with Davin) that it wouldn't be fair to jump into my car and Head for the Foothills! My wife got gypped this year and because of corporate you know what, lost her vacation well sort of at least for this first year with the new management company..but next year..I'm hoping NO EXCUSES and hopefully that means a 3.54 differential and a couple of people adventureous to caravan from the California Southland on up to Tim's magnificent Central California and on back. (a one week journey would be nice) I hope everyone has as great a time as I had last year. My best regards to all, hank Edited April 3, 2015 by HanksB3B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Truck Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Tim, Unfortuneatly I will not be able to make it to the BBQ this year....So sorry. I have a Family Easter commitment out of town that I have to travel to tomorrow, that I couldn't get out of (and I really tried). Thanks again Tim for hosting this great event and all the hard work you put into it. I hope everyone has a great time and I look forward to seeing the pictures next week. Hope to see you next year.

countrytravler Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi All Was going to arrive today but I got word that George from Oregon with the 37 Dodge yellow and black truck. He has to much brain damage and they are going to pull life support. George found our company through the internet to find parts for his truck. Over the 2 years time, we became very good friends. While he was building his truck and I saw what he was doing, I said you have to come to this BBQ. You will meet a lot of great people. As you well know, he had a time of life because of you people. We had a long conversation after the BBQ and he said Dave, That is the most enjoyable event that I have ever attended. He told me that he had hope to live 20 mores years so he could attend all 20. That is one heck of a remark for someone to say that has been in a lot of pain for the last couple of years. His sisters said that all he talked about on the way home last year BBQ. You all should be proud and enjoy life to its fullest. I will be pulling in tomorrow morning with the Red Cross truck. (NOT RUNNING) will need help to stage.

TrampSteer Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 ,,,a couple of people adventurous to caravan from the California South-land on up to Tim's magnificent Central California and on back. Paul and I planned for 6 months to caravan up this year. Just didn't know it would end up a lot more like a car pool with neither truck even in tow. I'm sure if we start planning a caravan earlier, we will be more successful. I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you planned this failed one for 6months it sounds like you better start planning next years on Monday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
