Heel low:
Just wanted to send you fellows a "heads up."
Peggy has been kind and diligent enough to incite me to "finally" give her information to set up a gallery page on our Chev Maple Leafs. Here is a link and does she EVER do a nice job. Thank you Peggy for making our vintage truck collection look so fine!
http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/higgins_mapleleaf.html Back in February/March (when this thread originally began with Canuck’s request for “help” with his C&ML) we had just acquired our third Maple Leaf truck and the fleet has continued to grow, 4th and 5th additions now here and safely secured. Go to the Gallery for pics, descriptions and whatnots.
Since there are two seasons in Alberta; seven months of winter and the rest for construction, we have been a bit busy (and terribly rude, as we have not even thanked '35 trucker for the great information and pictures he mailed us, oh ages ago now. Thank you so very much and hope you forgive our complete lack of good manners!). We have totally been focusing on the construction end of things and have let the "inside" administrative typing go by the wayside (ignorant as that is!). But not for long. Frost has already arrived and a few apples have hit the dirt as windfalls, so won’t be long before our attentions once again turn towards messing with the Maple Leaf restorations since winter will be happily upon us.
Next project to come off my desk is information so Peggy may post it to the History portion of the Tech Tip Page. Just a matter of arranging our thoughts in a logical and presentable manner. I also want to type out the information on the 1935 Maple Leaf truck sales brochure so that others may be able to refer to it. Every little bit helps when trying to find restoration reference material on these big bolts.
