Howdy and welcome from Colorado. So tell us about your plans for the truck please>

Congratulations! Can't beat that price. Like to see it hooked to your trailer.

Prybars--I also learned to think ahead a bit. If you got something heavy you have to manhandle or use a prybar on it helps to set a corner on a short block of wood when you set it down. Just so you can get that prybar in position. I did the Alcan highway back in 92'. They were having the...

I can relate Rustystud. Just manhandling the rims around on the 9.00-20's is getting to be a chore. With tires, from flat on the ground, it takes me a lot to get them vertical so that I can roll them around. That long prybar can be very handy. I guess your a late night owl too.

That is excellent news. I am sure a number of SS members will appreciate this outcome. Thanks for following through and reporting back.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Pretty nice looking rig.

It would be interesting to see a vid of you prepping, loading and hauling the the tender. You must be associated with the C & T RR.

Howdy and Welcome from Colorado.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Nice looking rigs. I always liked the drop nose on those. Don't see many anymore.

Howdy and Welcome from Colorado. I really like those seats. The fold flat is sweet. Should save the seat some sun damage when your not using the truck. And a place to lay the groceries when you go to town.

Amazing forces at play that it can distort and snap that half shaft. When I do things like that, I like to make yard art from the broken parts. I don't intend to quit trying to learn and having fun. I say go speed racer!

I really appreciate your thorough approach. Especially down to the speedo adapters. Good Job-Carry On!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado.

I enjoy and am inspired by the "American Aviation Historical Society" journals. Volume 22, Number 1, Spring of 1977, has an interesting article about Lindbergh and his Minnesota speeches and flights after his 1927 crossing flight. Very distinguished society members including Lt. General J.H...

The Chinook has had a very long and distinguished service record. Still serving today. The more famous Spookies are the c 47 (DC 3) aka Puff the Magic Dragon or the C 130, but the CH 47 had some "Death from Above" mods as well.

Thanks for the memories. That sounded like something my Drill Sargent would have kindly whispered just before his right number 12 made a hard landing on my LZ Brown. No worries though, as I will be a#*holes and elbows into the day in plenty of time. As they will likely have main street closed...

Thanks for posting this. I will try to make it. Been a few years since I was out Bennett way. I will probably need to be up early though.

Howdy and Welcome from Colorado. Hope you enjoy your new post. And building the "get to Alabama" vehicle.

Now that is one nice cover solution to working outdoors. I suppose those heavy roof corners won't need to come off to get to the bad roof panels. Is your "creeper" on wheels or do you just push it from a ladder or something as you need to move down the roof?

Kind of amazing and somewhat comforting to know that at least it kept running even if under less power. I suppose for a military vehicle this would be a good thing in combat. I wonder if it was designed that way for that reason?
