Sruby, I'll be there for sure. Am makeing major progress with my truck. I'll send you some pictures when she's done and you'll get to see it when I come down. I looked at the map this morning and see your due west of DC. It's a toss up which way I come down, I95 or I81. When I drove 18 wheelers I used both extensively. I hate I95, to many cars, it's a toll road and the beltway around DC could drive you to drink. I81 is little more than 2 lane blacktop, but it's more scienic and laid back and you have to keep a sharp eye for deer, it's a real slaughterhouse in the fall up in PA. Either way it's about 1000 miles round trip, no big deal 10 hrs down and 10 back. I might just stop in Scranton PA and visit with some of my friends at my old terminal there and possibly sleep there instead of trying to do it all in one shot, especially if we visit for a while after the cab's loaded on the trailer. I ain't as young or as brain dead as I was back then, LOL. We'll have to talk on the phone and get aquainted better than we can here. Hope to talk soon, jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
