Guys like us need No brakes - just throw out the anchor and it will snag on something sooner or later . And as to what to do with the truck - I have plenty of ideas - work it as a back up fire truck during the pasture burning season ( the local RFD's like that idea )- partnering with the local department and RFD's for fire safety programs at schools - near the bottom of the list is run it in a parade the last is restore it and admire it as it sits . If I can't work my trucks what good are they to me ? Ed H
