You keep talking like that, I will have 3 trucks on the side of the road, mid-IL.

Actually, I just realized you might not know who-is-who... Ron (73M819) is in the dropside. Papabear is/will be, in the Landoll bringing the last 3 trucks. (PS, it's warm there now) SHHH.....

temp

It really should be Ok. 56 by mid day Tuesday, then lows are 47-49 and highs in mid 60s. I'll bet we hit 70 Wednesday. Your timing could not be better!

weather

I will update my avatar in the morning to reflect your stance on the weather.

Also, Squeak is in Mexico for the week. I don't know where he wants the trucks?????? Maybe leave me a tow bar so I can move them?

 

[papabear]

No snow on the ground. Just a few flakes in the air. I'm not kidding. It is supposed to be a low of 29 degrees in the morning. Does he have a windshield scraper? Is this one of those southern rag topped trucks without a heater? LOL

We use ONLY top of the line equipment here!!!
Why...just look at our newest rig:

Only one of the five used in the series reside there. They were all customs by George Barris. Few people have seen an Oldsmobile truck.

Well, that just bites! Now that GM has booted the Olds line, there won't be any more parts for Jed's sled!

Ron is currently just south of La Crosse, WI and still pressing on. We are staging the remaining trucks at the body shop for the Landoll's arrival tomorrow.

 

[papabear]

Permits in hand, truck/trailer checked out, log books ready....just waiting for the blizzard up north to subside...should be around July!!

 

[hendersond]

Ron Rolled in at 13:00. We had some breakfast and looked at the drop off location. Should work fine. He came to look at my stuff and threw me some great ideas on my 4 door m211 project. I appreciate him taking the time help me. I have been hung up with finding a "factory" looking floor support for about a week. He had the answer as soon as he laid eyes on it! I dropped him at the dropside at 1530 and he's headed for the motel. I'll catch up with him in the morning.

 

[hndrsonj]

Well, the plan is, We need the dropside to tow the M48 and M59 to their storage locations. Ron is holding fast and waiting on our arrival. More tomorrow.

 

[hendersond]

Say, that drop side is a nice truck. Maybe you'll be leaving it with me for a while?

 

[73m819]

SNOW, WHAT SNOW, yesterday morning it snowed so F__ING hard, it was sticking to the window, it was all I could do to keeping the southern truck from turning around by it self, to head to warmer weather

the truck ran at 55 most of the way, good running , wants to run, Galesville is such an old town, that at first I thought I had hit 88mph and went back in time.

Guess we unload PB tomorrow, taking the deuce for a ride later after I tighten the wires on the master solenoid

GREAT TRIP, anyone else need a driver,I'll be free next week

Thats about it

 

[Capt.Marion]

Glad to hear you made it. Does your tapeworm know what to do with itself without being surrounded by good ole Southren cooking, up there in the snowy north?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Too funny guys! Glad to hear Ron made it ok.

Is this the opening salvo of the War of Southern Aggression?

 

[73m819]

My tape worm found MIKES and Mason's Supper Club, YUM YUM GOOD and CHEAP.

I know why the truck is owner by NAVY personal, because you think of WATER when you think navy, and that's what I had IN the truck, IT rained Monday on the way up, I don't mean rain but F__ING RAIN, had as much water on the inside of the window and the cab,as the out side, needed a wiper on the inside as well as the out side (not a bad upgrade idea) sure glad the floor had holes other wise I might of needed SCUB, thought about striping and taking my shower while driving, but didn't for TWO reasons, first it was cold, second didn't went to take a chance of getting stopped and getting a ticket while I'm the shower.

Last I heard is that I get to ride back with the big man PB himself

Meet Dan (HendsonD), cool dude, doing a bang up job on the 211 crew cab build

Took the truck out this morning, sure runs good

well that's my report for now.
