Road trippin with too much stuff...
Just got back from a 7 state, 3100 mile journey in 7 days.
Got to meet up with some truck guys, hit up some junk yards, and a swap meet in northern texas. Weather was mostly good this year. (didn't get stuck in iowa for 2 1/2 days like last time)... Away we go... First hour and a half when i left was black ice... No fun. First truck i found was an odd combo.

Re: Road trippin with too much stuff...
Had a buddy send me a link to a craigslist ad last fall. Had a different buddy about 4.5 hours away that was close to the item and went and picked it up for me. I grabbed it at his place on my way south. It was kind of part of the road trip, but not purchased on the trip...
Thats all for now, Enjoy and get out there and start finding this stuff! ( i can't find everything by myself...)

Re: Road trippin with too much stuff...
But are they ever really complete? There is always something else you can do.

Re: Road trippin with too much stuff...
Stuck! In Iowa? No way...it's always sunny and 70 degrees. Dairy Queen is open at 11am if you need a blizzard, tornado season is is just a windy neighbor, the flood is gone as soon as everyone stops flushing the Casey's burritos, and you can see around every corner as soon as the corn is harvested...

Re: Road trippin with too much stuff...
Wow, it's amazing you can still find that many parts collections out there. That's definitely what keeps our hobby supplied with parts to keep our trucks on the road. Still, I kinda root for some of those in the pics to make it back on the road too!
Looks like another great road trip! Jim |
