I’ve only entered one as non-judged, but I do walk as many as I can. I don’t intend on mine being a show truck or trailer queen. My objective is just a nice daily driver, which it already is and continues to evolve.

Marseilles. Neighboring town to DES57! Glad to see all the Illinois friends on here. I'm working on getting my 49 3100 on the road, been working on it for about 5 years now. Finally putting everything back together as time allows. Mine's also not a show truck, original patina, new to me cab, original drivetrain. Get her on the road and then I'll worry about upgrades!

What a good turnout of responses here. Wonder if someone in this audacious group has the ability to put together a map like the Heartland group has done. Shakey 61 may be able to give some insight on how to do it. Always helpful to know how far away a Bolter Buddy may be.

Peggy M Finally hit a hook-up with Hog and Maria from Jasonville indiana on wheels for a 46, we met at junction of state road 63 and east end of 48 just out in the wilderness (sorry west end of 48) great people. Got them fixed -up with 16x4.5 original set of 4 wheels I had. Need to sell out some of my inventory.it's about to take over !! Told Gdads 51 I might bring some of it to KCM fall round-up.

This is all great to hear!! Glad to see "pulling out" some of these states in the region one by one is working out, even if just a little. Maybe someone will "pick" another state from the Great Lakes pot.

KevinS here fresh on the Welcome Board. We live between Champaign and Kankakee about 25 miles west of 57. Just trailered my 58 Apache home as a birthday present to myself. It’s a project truck for sure. I started disassembly and currently working on getting all the wood out. Since truckin' is new for me, I’m glad i found y’all.
