I have been detailing the engine compartment and making repairs to the Holmes W-45 wrecker boom. I have finished the preventitive maintenance. Also I have include pics of the Clark dozer. I just installed new leaf springs and rebuilt lift cylinders. If you all remember what the Chevy looked like when I started (it was in pieces) restoring it, then this project will be easier (yeah right :D). Next spring the body will be soda blasted and painted. Once I finish reinstalling the tracks on teh dozer, teh Diamond T will move inside, actually it was better workng on it outside, there is something to be said for a gravel driveway, with all the fluids that were changed during it's PM. http://mysite.verizon.net/vzerpjfs/wwiitruckpicsandrestorationpicsJohn Gott

Couldn't even guess what color the truck is,mud about 3 inches thick all over it except where the wipers wiped. The smell was horrible....
