John-T-53 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Some of my favorites.... Ted's '36 pickup from La Honda, CA (right...a '36?) Mark's very nice '50 Plymouth sedan. And DD's dash with restored gauges and custom tach. Edited April 17, 2018 by John-T-53 3 Quote
John-T-53 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 I love Tim and Steph's PUG....I mean COE. AND...glad to see last year's evidence made the journey with "Brendt" and Julie. Ooops, I mean Brent. 4 1 Quote
pflaming Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Yes John, I drove the Panoche Creek road through the hills from Mendota to San Juan Baptista, which includes Holister. I drove that decades ago, it is a beautiful, interesting road. I love back roads, so much more to see. Thenpic shows driving through a gap and headed into a beautiful valley, fun. And yes, that is a tow truck in the bottom scene, I needed some assistance the last 40 miles of my 360 mile road trip. AAA provided the ride. Problem, electrical, will fix it off course. I drove the truck nearly every day for the past six weeks to shake down any problems, yet . . . . Edited April 17, 2018 by pflaming 3 Quote

ggdad1951 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 lots of good times and fun was had. The green truck was fully deserving of best in show...so many cool addons...giving me crazy ideas! Trip home was interesting...the 4 hours later than I planned and lots of waiting wasn't fun, neither was the 14" of fresh new snow at home...or the wife having influenza...just hoping I can stay healthy! I'll try and get some pics up as well tonight. Quote
pflaming Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) ggdad, I agree, lots of great ideas. Some things I noticed: fresh air heater assembly on a truck, two springs on the carburetor accelerator lever, the one to the inner fender to assure return to idle, bottle opener on the side of the bed, vacuum hose and gauge from manifold to dash gauge. But driving long distance with a standard three speed impressed upon me that an overdrive has THREE benefits. First in third and over a quieter ride , SECOND better gas mileage, but to me 2nd and over is a perfect split on a long incline. My truck will definitely get an overdrive. The BBQ is more than an event, it's a HAPPENING. I will return! TKS TO TIM, STEPH, AND OTHERS who pitched in and make it happen! Edited April 17, 2018 by pflaming Quote

It is owned by a gentleman from Linden - "Bosker" Guadagnolo. It has a V8 with hemispherical combustion chambers. I heard that he also has a '56 300 and another vehicle which I can't remember.

The hood emblem on that beautiful C series truck says it came with a flat 6 originally. John, do you mean it has a hemi engine or a semi-hemi ? Any photos of the engine? Quote

tom'sB2B Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) You have to respect a man who rolls in wearing his cover-alls and drinks the champagne of beers (old school long neck) . Mr. Bosker is a scholar and a gentleman.... and the owner of a beautiful truck Edited April 18, 2018 by tom'sB2B 4 Quote

Respect. 2 Quote
pflaming Posted April 22, 2018 Report Posted April 22, 2018 A summation of tha BBQ. For me it is more than a truck show, its a reunion with friends. Friends from Oregon,Washington, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Australia, Lodi greater area, San Jose, LA, and more. I take my truck for the first timers, they want in on the history, I look for ways to improve my truck and thoroughly enjoy the first time trucks however all the aforementioned reasons still stand down to the reunion with friends. To all, do have a safe and healthy year. 3 Quote

I know that road well on my motorcycle....back behind my house in the hills of Hollister! Quote
pflaming Posted April 22, 2018 Report Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Back road shots. I drove that road years ago. I would only drive it in spring or fall or early summer morning. It's an easy drive only slow and a bit rough in places, but it is paved the entire way. I plan on a day on that road with lots of stops to really look at the canyons, etc., then I want to visit Pinnacles National Park. Edited April 23, 2018 by pflaming 2 Quote
