Hello from Oshawa! Did Willy freeze to death this year or what??

You Wiarton people are probably sick of talking about a rodent.

(for the unknowing Wiarton has a ground hog named Wiarton Willy and it is a big thing on Ground Hog Day. Don't Canadians call them wood chucks?)

REPO1 · 02-16-2003, 09:53 PM

Northern B.C. here.

There are alot of these trucks up here.

oldsub86 · 02-16-2003, 10:03 PM

Hey Gee_Emm

Yes I can think of a picture or two from last summer. Will see if I can post something.

oldsub86 · 02-16-2003, 10:05 PM

Hey Snowbound

How old is your wife? I went to highschool in Kenora. It is a small world. My younger son is dating one of the daughters of a girl I went to school with in Kenora.

oldsub86 · 02-16-2003, 10:19 PM

Alright - took me a few edits as I couldn't remember how to post a picture but I did it. This was last summer and we were sort of making like a farm truck and hauling a lot of grass off to the landfill.

You can see the truck is pretty much basic and original.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-16-2003, 10:47 PM

Well Willie din't freeze to death...but he did die about 2 years ago like 3 days before the big event...everyone joked they just spray painted a rat white that year

So Over_My_Head? 920 on GMC's is a Canadian version of a C20 pickup? I always wanted to know what was behind the 920 badge...

oh and thanks to all who replied!

Snowbound · 02-17-2003, 01:51 AM

oldsub,

The wife turned the big 30 last fall, but she didn't go to high school there. She moved out here in about '85. Half her family is still there ( Favreau ). It's a beautiful place, but no work other than the mill. But if they ever find oil there.........

The company I work for has a paint booth manufacturing facility in Barrie. It is called Blowtherm but that will be changing soon.

*Gee_Emm* · 02-17-2003, 10:17 AM

That truck looks pretty straight oldsub, is it still on the streets?

"So Over_My_Head? 920 on GMC's is a Canadian version of a C20 pickup? I always wanted to know what was behind the 920 badge..."

Yup and a 910 would be a "1/2 ton GMC"
