1940plymouth Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 My son Shane, a good friend and I got the '51 out of the "tent" this afternoon, he has a new carb that he wants to install. Just had to share our afternoon with all of you Quote
55 Fargo Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Hey Bob, had to start car and go for a ride in 10f weather, sunny and dry, just cruised up and down the gravel road a bit. I took 2pics, sorry the back drop is not that nice, especially in winter.... PS car ran great, and heater was not bad either Quote
Young Ed Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 The itch starts getting strong this time of year. I helped Dad weld some holes shut in his 55 R110 cab. Most were ones we created for the dent puller one was a bullet hole. Then we put a coat of bondo on about 1/2 the roof. Quote
1940plymouth Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Posted February 21, 2011 Fred, your Chrylser looks good in any setting, thanks for sharing Ed, can you post some photos of the '55? Quote

Fred, the old Chrysler looks good out there. Different scenery than when I was there. We had a nice day today but back to the deepfreeze tonight. I didn't drive anywhere but I started the 56 Rambler and the 62 Dodge D300 and let them run for an hour, then put the trickle chargers on the batteries and cleaned up the terminals. Not sure if running them helps or hurts, but I had to do SOMETHING with a vehicle today it was so nice out. Edited February 22, 2011 by PatS.... Quote
Niel Hoback Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Nice way to scratch that itch. I guess its getting to all of us by now. Quote
Young Ed Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 55 binder. This ones an r120 and will be combined with a 54 r110 to duplicate a truck he had when I was little. 55 was a unique year it still had the R grill but the new for 55 big window cab. Quote
LAKOTA169 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Bob, I've had the "itch" too. Thought I might be able to get the '37 out for a short drive around town. For a couple days we had temps around 60 with most the snow melting. Streets were starting to dry up. Then last night we got about 10" of snow. Quote
1940plymouth Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 Ed, Thanks for the photos of the International. My son in Oklahoma has a '64 International Carryall Quote

Sunny day, dry roads, Cooper and I drove ten miles round trip to town hall this afternoon, just couldn't resist Quote
Young Ed Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 This ones floating about the place too. Still plows snow well. Getting quite rusty though. Only about 26K miles on it. Quote
PatS.... Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 My Dad bought this '63 brand new. This is it on it's first day at work. It was a very tough truck and more than earned it's keep. Quote
