Glad you found her a good home.

Glad also that the ground was solid for move-out (hate to think how tht could have ended up in the rain)!

Where in Virginia is the museum?

Thank you Thank you. There was one up here I tried to get away from a politicians son a decade ago. It's still sitting in rot so seeing this made my corona. One sat at a wrecker called Jasper Auto Parts near St. Albert, Alberta back in the 70's/ 80's. The gent used it to move grain elevators and other buildings. I saw it as a kid all the time so she's a special rig.

I bought copies of the manuals out of Portrayl Press https://www.portrayalpress.com/ and they are impressive. Many of the pictures are actual photos of the truck.

Best news of the decade. Everyone involved gets a big Canadian hug.

Nice. Probably the best thing for it. Do you know which museum?
