buds truck Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Posted November 21, 2009 Clean looking ride Bud. Where did you find it?48D It had been advertised for about a month on craigslist in Bellingham. I waited till the price dropped to a more workable amount, made an offer and brought her home. By the way, Tim, I have sent you a couple of pm's. Bud Quote

48Dodger Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 Who was it on the "car side" that just tooka tour of the eastside of the country? He visted members along the way in a teardrop. Looked like a lot of fun, something I wouldn't mind doin someday. When you hit the road bud, make sure you stop by and have a few. 48D Quote

greg g Posted November 22, 2009 Report Posted November 22, 2009 Road trips are the thing to do these days. there is a fellow from the Studebaker truck board that is doing a lap of orth america. Started in August in BC, made his way east to New Foundlad and PEI, then down to Fla. He is currently in AZ just leaving the the Grand Canyon. Going to Cali next then north. He stopped here twice once on his way to the Maritimes, and once onthe way back through. He is doing his trip in a 85 Dodge Extended camper van. 13 + K miles and counting. Quote
Jim Gaspard Posted November 22, 2009 Report Posted November 22, 2009 Bud, congatulations on your travel companion. I have a 1953 Traveleze canned ham (akin to a Shasta) for my B3B. I plan to change the skin colors to match once I complete my restoration in the next decade. It's the perfect size and lightweight for our Texas back country travels. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/JimGaspard/IMG_1301.jpg[/img]"] http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/JimGaspard/IMG_1309.jpg[/img]"]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/JimGaspard/IMG_1309.jpg Quote
