Oh don't worry, Monroe and I have a full day planned for tomorrow, tomorrow is truck day. ;)

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

good luck narrowing it down to which one you take his picture with or at which stage of restoration. Ha Ha

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

This is true :lol: not started, frame off, cab parts, I am sure he will have a blast on the C10 farm today, We are going at 9 this morning to pick up the new trailer (new to me) for the C10 farm and then we will be loading it up with parts to head up to Carlisle on Thursday.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Haha ,I'm going this morning to go pick up OL RUSTY and look at more parts and pieces and you can tell from the couple pictures with Monroe I already have more projects sitting in the barns and that's not even 1/4 of them ...it's an addiction !

Hello ? yeah I saw on Craigslist you have a 67 short bed for sale ? (Yep , it's sitting behind the barn burried in mud and rusty as heck ) Well that sounds great I'm on my way ....:chevy:

Been there done that. Got my two now. Funny how life can come along and cure this disease right when you were enjoying being so sick.

I hope Monroe is up to date with his tetanus shot.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I am trying to get pictures to load, we are having internet problems since the storm the other night.
But me and Monroe had a very eventful day yesterday. We went yesterday morning after touring through the C10 farm and looked at a trailer. Monroe and I looked it over well and decided this was a great deal so we purchased it and then headed to Northern tool. We bought new wiring and lights for the trailer and headed back to the house to begin our work on the trailer.

Although it was extremely warm and humid we managed to get all the old wiring out and pulled the old lights. Hopefully today we can finish getting the lights fixed up and begin loading parts for our journey to Carlisle. :chevy:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Is he showing you the best way to center things up?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Monroe, got that cross member in today out of that 67 you are eyeballing in the above pic. It is perfect. Has a little bit of my finger on it but that's just part of the fun. Looks like your having a blast.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Hey , Get that chicken away from my 67 ! I know what he's up to ...

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Saturday Monroe and I went and bought a new to me trailer. He really enjoyed his adventure into Kernersville and most of all roaming through Northern tool.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Monroe said he wanted to help somehow on my project 68 before he had to leave so he asked if he could sandblast a few parts

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/...psiou4hyix.jpg

Monroe just gets all into his work :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

He also likes to finish what he started so he said he would like to prime and paint the parts he blasted, Monroe is a very talented fella ;)

I did loose him a time or two though, I heard a rustle in the feedbag, yep you guessed it Monroe was in the chicken food :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Nothing better than after a hard day of work on the C10 than a game of pool, Monroe is just a natural :metal:

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/...pseguyduur.jpg

So after an adventurous day we went in the house to relax and watch some velocity. I believe the C10 farm wore Monroe out. :chevy:

Awww... Snug as a bug in a rug

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Ugh ... bed bugs? I'm officially emancipating Monroe, he is on his own now =)

He's coming your way Tim, you might want to fumigate him :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Haha!! Love the new pics! I'm glad he's still eating well lol

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

That feed bag picture was great!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

He'll never see a bed the whole time he's with me. I'll send him over to "The Lady's Oasis" (yes, there really is) at the show. I'll tell them he's actually a tough chick who needs the fem treatment. They'll have him so smellied up he'll repel more than bugs!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

+1. That was hilarious

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

It's good to see that he's having a great time.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Well, Monroe and I had a great day. He went to work with me and met a few of the guys, we ate lunch at the Chinese restaurant, he loved won ton soup. Then we got home and began loading the trailer and truck to journey Thursday towards Carlisle. Sure am going to miss him.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Yeah, free labor no matter how small is always good....lol

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Getting paid chicken feed ain't much, but it is getting paid....lol
