Not entirly sure why I needed it, or what I'm going to do with it now. | | |

#15429 05/25/2004 3:26 PM | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 51 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 51 | A Chip Wagon is a Truck [ Milk Truck ] like yours that sells Burgers, Fish & Fries [Chips],Hot Dogs, Soda Pop Etc. These chip wagons can be found in a lot of towns parked on the side of the road or some have a semi permanent spot with some picnic tables set up around it. Chip Wagons are still down here in Syracuse at the University, parked outside of the Dorms- the ones up in Canada that I have been to have vinegar out to put on your Fish & Chips! That my friend is a Chip Wagon... | | |

Come to think of it, I have seen a few of those abandoned by barns and such, never thought much of them until now. The aluminum bodies don't rust, are light weight, and easy to repair, not exactly the nicest looking things on the road, but collectable non-the less, Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to put a deep fryer in mine   | | |

There is no problem so difficult it cannot be overcome by generous application of brute force & ignorance
