Re: Lookie what I found ..
Great story. I believe I had the same trailer brake on my old truck or at least one that looked like it.

Re: Lookie what I found ..
Nice truck! I wish I had been with Chad (CC69Rat) when he went up. Great story, and if I can help with info or parts just let me know. I'm just down the road.
Oh, Garold Lewis told me to tell you and your Dad hello. POP

Re: Lookie what I found ..
Thanks for sharing your story!
I have my Grandfathers truck, he "sold" it to me when I turned 16 in 1983. If I had a dollar for every time I answered no to the question "is it for sale?" I would have enough to put A/C on it. You and I are blessed that we have this link back to our Grandfathers that stirs our memory of them every time we get behind the wheel.

Re: Lookie what I found ..

Re: Lookie what I found ..
I suddenly developed allergies too!!!!
Id get that barn reinforced or part the truck elsewhere. With my luck that barn would have smushed my truck like a pancake by now. |

Re: Lookie what I found ..
Oh, you guys don't know the half of it. That barn survived an F4 tornado that hit us 4/27/12. It was insane the damage around this area. In fact there is damage to the roof of the very barn its sitting in.
Don't even say 'smoosh'.. <shiver> .. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

My truck is sitting in the most solid part of the barn that never budged. Uprights are 8x8 & everything else around it is rough cut 2x lumber, solid oak (more like 2.5 thick)! Here's some before & after of the barn Posted via Mobile Device |
