Becky & I should be able to make it. Have enjoyed meeting all the people and sharing ideas, stories and just plane friendship these last two years. My '54 Dodge 'runs' now. Not well enough for the highway but should be ok after I tinker with it a bit. Still needs some wiring work, new muffler & tail pipe. The biggest hold up is finding the 'clutch bull gear' cover. It was on the truck when it went into the shop but they can't find it now. Hopefully by next March I will be able to find the correct one. After I get it running and all the parts found and put on I will e able to hit the Nevada DMV for a registration and plates. Looking forward to see everyone next April. Update: We found the clutch cover in Colorado. It's cleaned up, repaired and on the truck. Still looking good to make the BBQ in April! Time is getting closer to April 1, 2023! Finished going over all electrical wiring and correcting where previously wired wrong Have replaced components, electrical and mechanical, that were discovered to be bad, going bad or just plain not sure why they were there. lol Down to "cosmetic" items like seat, mirrors, bed boards, etc Hope Nv DMV doesn't find anything wrong when we go in on March 2nd to get it licenced. Won't be much time to make adjustments and still get a rescheduled appointment with them. We have our fingers crossed and a positive outlook for being over to the BBQ. Guess this is not the place to get information from those attending the 16th Annual BBQ for MoPar friends but I will give it one more up-date. Took a BIG step backwards this past month. The engine I spent 1000's of dollars and years rebuilding crapped out and is toast. Good news is I found a mechanic that deals in only Classic/Vintage vehicles and he located a 'good' '54 241 V8 to replace mine. Now we are back on schedule. DMV took an hour and 5 employees to work out how to license a classic truck that had not been licensed for the past 29 years. But we made it! See you all at the BBQ.1 point

It has been a good run and we all thank you! Now with that settled, maybe you can just leave the gate open, the BBQ truck available and a place we can pitch a tent or two. The rest of us can bring the fixings, trucks to tell lies over and good friends to enjoy. If you are needin the hay cut around the summer house and barn just let us know where you keep the scythe. Looking forward to seeing everyone in April....If I can find a starter for my truck. ken1 point

Tim I will be there with or without my truck, hope to get it running in time, I need a good running motor if anyone has one, applied for personal plates and there on the way, so if you see a green 1950 Dodge 3/4 ton with Waldo on the plates that's me. And just a thought, has anyone installed a 4 wheel drive set up on a 50 Dodge, I have the 4 speed with the block off plate for a take off, just need everything else.1 point

Most, if not all parties have checked in and this WILL be the date. I plan on advertising early and often to local truck clubs and to individual PH owners in the area. I would appreciate any + all help in bringing up the event in forum posts as well as being on the look out for interested PH owners not on the forum! On a side note. I think the 20th BBQ will be my last.....maybe. 2022 will be #15, 2027 will be #20. I'll be 63 years old. Kinda a good run I think. 48D1 point

Tim, Becky had so much fun this past BBQ, she didn't even hesitate with her enthusiastic YES! Let's go! I hope to have my '54 Dodge back running by then and will bring it over. Lookin forward to seeing our new friends and talking MoPar Dodge, even if your guys don't believe my 241 Poly V8 exists. Ken & Becky1 point

Brent, Yes I am going to try for 2021. I attended the BBQ about three years ago with my uncle who lives out in California. I'm still here in Illinois so it takes a little effort to get out there but seeing relatives, having a great time at the BBQ, and seeing all those Pilothouse trucks makes it worth the trip. Hope to see ya there!1 point
