To All, I need a pretty accurate count of the NON AD trucks heading to Townsend. Dave is work the site location and wants to include our odd year Trucks . The plan is to have trucks like Alvin's '37 parked along side our Stovebolt HQ. If you are planning to include your truck please let me know..

I know that Archie(Texaco46) is not bringing his '46, Alvin(Achipmunk) is up in the air with his '37. Not sure if Jay(Lugnutz) will take his '63? Don (2-Ton) now has an AD.. I may just kidnap Alvin and his '37 and trailer it up myself..

Don't put your money on it. Dave misunderstood, I was telling him about going to Racine to get the '50 GMC 250 for my BIL. Not my Truck, although it has been promised to me.. yep right..

Alright I need to make a statement regarding my "Not" owning an AD Truck. Seem that changed today, I am now the Proud owner of the GMC 250 in question.

Unfortunately it won't be making the trip to Townsend. A little to much a little to late type of thing. We'll see what the future holds ..😁

After I drug home our third or fourth truck, my wife quit asking. When she did ask, l told her the bills are paid and I’m not hanging out in a bar. She agreed another old truck was a small price to keep me home.
Congrats Craig!

Upon closer inspection, a senior citizen will need the assistance of running boards to make the big step up!

I suppose it’s going need some love and tenderness. The 9 foot bed requires a specific running board, the addition of widened fender and dual wheels make it a custom job. I'll be shopping for parts this summer..😁

Dang, Tuts, you must have lots of money or lots of spare time or both. Or like most of us you’re an optimist. 😀. Whatever, looking forward to the build thread. After you finish the wife’s truck of course.
