Plymouthy Adams Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks for communicating Tim....sure hope everyone that attends has a great time. Just so much to do here...and well, after 6 back to back flights to the mideast ......I went on a flying strike and comfortable with my decision. I know that the Air Force base is near you...but on checking I cannot link from my local to there to take a hop. Just do not want to fly commercial. Quote
48Dodger Posted February 8, 2023 Author Report Posted February 8, 2023 That's ok Tim, its your enthusiasm that counts! Quote
48Dodger Posted February 8, 2023 Author Report Posted February 8, 2023 It can by Mail.......the pigeon had then day off. ? Quote
54Dodgeguy Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 Sounds like a fun trip. You can count us in. Let Becky & me know if there is anything we can do, from a distance, to help out. We may have to trailer it over! I told everyone last year, "no more excuses". Truck looks great; painted, new bed, totally rewired, engine completely gone through, transmission rebuilt, interior redone.... One small issue, engine will not start. appears to be the starter. The bendix is 'out' and won't retract. Can't get it to engage the ring gear to turn over the engine. No engine turning over, can't time & tune it. Vehicle not running, can't get DMV license plates to drive it over to California. I still have a month, so will keep trying. Can't find anyone in town that will work on it so may have to find a new starter and see if that does the trick. Keep your fingers crossed and save us a place for our '54 Dodge C1-C, 241 V8 with 4 spd trans. & 5 window cab. Ken & Becky aka 54Dodgeguy 2 Quote
John-T-53 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Posted February 17, 2023 My friend Caesar (who has come with me past two years) wants to being his '64 C***y truck. Is that allowed? lol. As for my B-4-B, I had some sticking valves on the way up last year which I will do my best to address before April. Need to pull the head. If not, I might drive the new '71 console-equipped fuselage C-Body (I sold the banana). Friday arrival planned. Quote
48Dodger Posted February 21, 2023 Author Report Posted February 21, 2023 It better be early Friday! lol Things are cleaning up, the cows are fed, and the trucks are waiting. All is good! All need is for you show up and party! Remember the camp motto, "We, who are here, are remembered" or lossed our keys or something........ 48D Quote
48Dodger Posted March 6, 2023 Author Report Posted March 6, 2023 Holy Cow.......its only a few weeks away! 48D Quote
bkahler Posted March 6, 2023 Report Posted March 6, 2023 I'm sorry to say I won't be able to make it this year either. Too much happening at work and the cost of diesel is just insane. Maybe next year.... Quote
