B1B Keven Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks Paul. Although it might be more work than I can do. LOL Mark. I borrowed Brent and his trailer. REALLY wish I'd known about the ferry on the way up. Cut off 2 1/2 hours. Quote

Expand LOL, I was beginning to wonder the same thing after 18 hrs! it was a blast seeing that part of the country again and spotting old cars / trucks on the journey and meeting Paul. Beautiful place Paul...... BTW, this truck at 116" WB is the max you can STUFF on a 12' "bobcat" trailer! 3 Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Congrats Keven; That ought to turn out very nice. Jeff Quote
B1B Keven Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks Jeff. Needs a cab swap. Motor turns over by hand. I'm getting the tune up parts ordered now. Maybe it runs?????? Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Keven; I am sure you will get it figured out. And at the very least it will keep you out of mischief. They are great trucks.........especially the 116" long ones. I sure like mine!!!!!! Jeff Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 appreciate you pointing out the Who's Who in truck land.... Quote
Desotodav Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Well done Keven. It's good to see you 'back in the saddle'. I look forward to watching your build. How was Brent?... is he alright? it's gotta be at least 6 months since he bought another truck so I suspect that he was suffering withdrawal symptoms at the time! 3 Quote
HotRodTractor Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 I'm glad to see Paul's trucks find a home. I know I can't wait till my care packages start to arrive from him. Quote

Expand Yup - I need most of it for my project and figured it was best to buy it all and sort through it and see where I end up. It was far easier to buy a large package than to piece meal it out over the next several months. 1 Quote
