I’ve been given grandpa’s ‘48 grain truck he purchased new, has a 14’ dump bed. From what I’ve read on here it’s a Williams dump. It’s been parked for 38 years so needs about everything. After reading some very interesting articles on here I feel at home. I worked evenings at a small garage at age 15. I built my first race car while there, a ‘65 big block 4-speed Chevelle. My last 30 years were spent working for Boeing as a CNC machine maintenance technician.

Welcome Machine Tech!
I have been a manual Machinist since I was 16. Then got into Maintenance Machining at about 30 years old.
Check in with the Heartland Stovebolters every once in a while, there are plenty of us.

Hello MT,

I still work in the machining business. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your truck. If the pandemic gets under control maybe you can meet up with some of us in KC this September.

Welcome

John
