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!
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. ![]()

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!
Nothing better than after a hard day of work on the C10 than a game of pool, Monroe is just a natural
![]() ![]() So after an adventurous day we went in the house to relax and watch some velocity. I believe the C10 farm wore Monroe out. ![]() ![]()

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!
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.
