Its that time of year once again to start thinking about and making plans for Winchester. The year sure seems to have gone by fast but in this case, that's a good thing. This show is always a great time for all and I look forward to it every year.

Oh REALLY??? Then how come I can't hardly poke my head into a forum around this web site without running into a picture of your new tires and wheels???
Harrumph.

My apologies, Billy! My envy and greed got the best of me After some serous reflection on this matter, you are correct!”Us” 1- tonner’s do stand above the rest, and being in such an elite group, must set the standards! My apologies! Sorry John, but as a fellow elite, 1-ton owner, I’m sure you’re in agreement! If not, it’s not the first time, nor the last that you will be disappointed in me! Now, off to the beach! Sincerely, Me!

Mikey -- BTW, I'm sorry to report that neither of Pat's Petes are going to be ready for the show (we're having a whole bunch of issues lately with the white one and we haven't gotten around to doing anything with the blue one yet ).
Just letting you know. Hopefully, Dempsey can find a ride to the show.

I'm planning to be there ! Looking forward to a break from work. My truck will likely not be there this time though. I'll be in the antique, "stovebolt approved" (1987) camper. It does drive better with all of those expensive new tires.
Since someone rearranged the Stovebolt site I forget to scroll down to find the ODSS page located all the way at the bottom of the page, so I'm late to the party...count me in!
Jim - you to. If you are going I am going. I believe Sweet is in his rocker on his porch and apparently cant be teased of his porch. Maybe when he wakes from his nap.
Made her evening Jim!! She said she wants a better picture. I think it was an awesome picture. Shes been through 2 weeks of in class drivers ed and will have completed her on road instruction by Winchester.
I'm going to try to get there at some point and spend some time!

To my ODSS brothers, my primary mission at the Tri-State Truck Show is shared brotherhood and the appreciation of fine American steel. My secondary mission is to get the NAPCO Beast running after about 11 or 12 years of being a lawn ornament. If you have anything that you think might possibly help to accomplish my secondary mission, please bring it. Any parts, tools, rebuild kits etc. are welcomed and I will pay for anything we end up using. I flushed out the gas tank today with fresh non-ethanol gas and the fuel pump started leaking profusely. The cork gasket for the glass fuel bowl was toast and nobody near me has one. That is one obvious part I will need prior to starting. Anything else that you might have for a 1950 2-ton, would be appreciated. Thanks gents and see you at the “Big One”.
On a separate note, I borrowed a trailer from a friend today to haul the NAPCO to the show, but for some reason the trailer brakes aren’t working. I’ll play with them in the morning and if I can’t fix them, I’ll use my own smaller trailer. One way or another, it’s getting to the show.
Gotta look - I may have another fuel pump. I have a batch of gaskets too. What motor is in your truck George? Is it holding water? I gave Mike Roach a nice 2-ton radiator that I imagine he would sell to you........

Bring it all! It’s hard to tell what we’ll need to get it going. For some reason the distributor was backed out, so I’ve messed with trying to time it, but with no luck. It still has no brakes, except the hand brake, but it’ll have to do until I can get a hydrovac booster.
George-don’t know what your hydro vac looks like but I can pull off the one from my 59 one ton. Don’t know if it works but could be rebuilt if it doesn’t. Looks like this. I won’t be there until late Saturday. Let me know if you want it. Victor

Much thanks for the offer Victor! I have an old one to rebuild, but I haven’t gotten around to it. I was hoping to link up with you, but I’ll be leaving the show around mid-day Saturday. Today was a marathon of problems, but the NAPCO has been delivered to the ODSS area of operations. Planning to head that way in the RV tomorrow around noon.
then you can get the doors, and I'll grab the rim and tire combo! He will never know![img]
