thanks Kevin, love your pics, love the pumpkin color. Further, when I see those come-a-longs tweaking and changing the existing "bolt" geometry to put one of these beauties back together again, warms my heart! I have done similar things with structures to make them behave! What is the pic of the old Suburban(?)with the Alaska road commision logo? Further, some of your fab work shows that where you are on the planet, deems that you make stuff work, fab it, modify it, weld it, make new, make it work, because that is how these trucks got to this point in life, with ingenuity!
cheers, would love to sit down and have a beer with the guy who did this work!
