Is it a diamond or lump of coal?

So far it is in the diamond catagory. I drove it around the property yesterday and all systems seemed to be go. Tranny shifts out, engine purrs, brakes work fine. One tire needs a valve stem replaced. I tore my back out of the frame yesterday chopping some lighter pine so I'm not much in the mood to do any more testing. I'll prob take it out on the road in a day or two if I feel better.

It really makes a log splitter seem like a good investment now days. About two years ago I helped my son split up two Oaks we had cut down on his place. Took two days and took me about two weeks to recover. At 63 it gets a lot harder every year.

I have a log splitter but it was down in the storage building. I just needed some lighter pine to start fires with so I took the trusty axe and had at it. Something in the lower back said "ouch" and that was that. Nothing that time and some muscle relaxer won't take care.

Since I'm trying to raise some money to produce a movie she is on the block.....hate to sell her. She is by far the best truck I ever got from GL. I actually hope the new truck sells first and maybe I can keep the M927......but money talks and bull.....................

What's an A4?

A4 is the bumper number on the M927. Truck 4 from A Company. It came from the FL National Guard.
Deuce-Coupe was the assigned driver when he was stationed at Camp Blanding, FL.
If I had known he was bidding on the truck I would have bowed out.

That's cool! We were in Pensacola last year when we saw the UH-1H mounted on a stand at a park near the bridge to Gulf Breeze FL. I saw the serial number (tail number) and realized it was a Huey I flew in the Guard here in Birmingham for years.

I love Hueys......I'd rather fly in a Huey than make tricycle motors.

Its sad that the military put the Huey out to pasture. Most army pilots love flying the UH1. In flight school it was like getting into a caddy from the TH-55.

Looks like a good, clean swap. Thanks for sharing the photos, wreckerman!

You're welcome. I thought I did pretty well for working outside and doing it alone. I managed to do it without too much gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands. I just don't want to do it again anytime soon.
