Heel low:

The '28's are our only wooden wheeled trucks. We joke and call them our "service trucks" to the fleet of Big Bolt Leafs. :-D

Had the wooden wheels for one truck redone and new rubber for the two we will drive.

Finding someone that DOES wooden wheels is a luxury...the art is dying with the persons...sigh. :-(

The 1st '28, we made the terrible error (har har!) of going to an auction on Father's Day, eh? Heard it run, tried the doors and they were smooth...yeh, terrible error!

Sweet unit and was in the movie "Bye, Bye Blues" shot down in Southern Alberta. Those that know their '28's will see the headlights are for a 1926 Chev, not the 1928's.

The second 1928 Chev one ton, we bought from a fella selling off his father's collection of trucks.

We still laugh thinking of how he described it as "parade ready!" Yeh sure. Kinda like "it ran when we parked it," kinda thingy.

No matter, there is a '28 in the new shop bay and it'll get worked on. In total we also have six 1928's to pick parts from. You need three to make one and we made sure we had enough to "get 'er done!"

Hoping to see more monkey wrenching this fall and into the long winters up here in the Great White North.

Doggone,
