In that case you've met my best friend Ronnie that teaches the class. I recognized the vehicles in the pics right away. They have some really cool stuff in that place.

Yep. Got two more days. Definitely a very cool dealer with some history.

Ronnie has good things to say about you so I'm not sure he really knows you that well. :flipoff2:

Probably, you could take a WWII WC62/63 open cab and plop a closed civilian cab on it pretty easy.

I was gonna say the same, I had a WC62 one time, and also Power Wagon. Looks like that happened there.

Haha! It was good meeting another imaginary internet friend from across the country today. Glad you got to see the two retired busses that fit your user name. Next time, have your company arrange a driver so that you can party with us.

Another one of Ronnie's toys just to stay on topic...

I drug this thing home last week. I also bought that 52 F6 Ginpole winch truck and a 66 c20 that for some reason I didn’t take pictures of. I will get the 52 and 66 later when I have time. I got the F350 running but only made it 5 miles when the injector return lines decided to give up on life. They were not leaking when I got it running and let it run for about and hour. Put a new kit on and one injector cap is still leaking. Fuckin Slave lakes overgrown inbred brother.

A ‘47 Ford Woody wagon has returned to the HOA. It was restored years ago by a resident as a gift for his dad. 20 something years later, dad is afraid to drive it now so he wants son to take care of it. I know the son, I’ll get pics of the car asap.

Stopped by the neighboring shop last night and talked to my buddy for a while. The ford was bought in ‘71 from bell phones in CA and driven to WVA by the seller. The Mack was getting a brake job.

Maybe, maybe not. It had some links and little coilovers under it. Owner wasn't around to ask though.

This buggy has seen a few years of use. Thats like a whole history of Michigan ORV stickers. I thought it was seriously impressive.

three for three, bay-bee!

on the plus side, it doesn't really seem to hurt anything, you just lose coolant slowly and eventually the one cylinder will get the inside so rust pitted from always being moist that it won't have much compression any more
