I generally curtail my activities to the island over here. What with the darn high price of the ferries, and my vast financial empire laying in ruins. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Hey.....nice place you have here Dave | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 | Welcome to the West coast Chapter.... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 305 | I have a '54 1/2 ton 5 window Project Daily driver.

Last one leaves the mainland at 9. There is some activity here on the island. Over the years we have had a couple of cruises. I know of about 8 old Chevy trucks in the area so maybe come spring time we could organize a cruise. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Maybe we can meet you guys half-way *g* | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 | My 'Bolt can't tread water.....  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | Are you the one who bought the Albion ferry today, Dave?

Your truck should be a maroon flat bed lorry. To all bc bolters that list BC as a location, edit it to show a town or city that is close to you.

Something out in Cloverdale would be good, there is a group there trying to get the Teamsters Truck Museum relocated to the fairgrounds. They have a lot of nice restored trucks of all makes. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | Greengrass: You'll have to get Bobb (3B) to tell you all about the Teamster's truck museum... he goes way back on this one and as I recall used to even work with them... I suspect he knows their collection better than most people having worked on many of them! Maybe if you give him a buck he'll tell you what he knows... lol We had just spoken about the possibility of them moving to the Fairgrounds at our Christmas BC Bolter meet... is that confirmed or just a rumor? | | |
