Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
I am headed out Sat to meet Tim and pick up a 72 longhorn. Look forward to meeting him in person, this is the 2nd truck I've bought from him. About a year and half ago my sis and bro in law went out and picked up a Big block truck I got from him. I'll try to get some pics and post them Sun when I get home. Hope the weather goes through so I have decent roads to drive on

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Where at in STL? I am 20 minutes west of STL on HWY 70. Could meet for a minute to check it out. I know a guy here that has 15-20 trucks he is parting out if you need anything.

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Thanks Tom, Dale, Scott, and Tom!! 5 1/2 hour one way trip, kind of crazy for a parts truck
![]() Martyb11, Headed to Oakville. Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to have much extra time, I would love to stop and visit with you and look at his truck parts. I will check with my co-pilots and see what they say though Thanks Randy

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Teeitup have a safe trip but they are calling for sleet and ice in Missouri starting Friday morning, hopefully it will not go that far east and north. But be safe and have fun.

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Thanks Joe, Tim has always been fair with me, I wish he was a bit closer since he finds trucks pretty often, lol
Thanks Jeff, if it looks like its going to be treacherous I'll postpone it, not worth getting in accident Thanks Randy

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Sounds like a great reason to do a winter road trip. Looking forward to the pics.
And just like we all hope for, drive safe.

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Thanks guys, they are saying rain turn to snow 2-4 inches last I heard, Sat. I will going through Columbia around 3 probably then into St Louis around 5 if we are lucky. Surely 1-70 will be clean by then. You Missouri guys know any websites I can go on to check current road conditions? Thanks Randy

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
that whole stretch of I70 won't be getting much of any snow. Plus MODOT always keep that highway clear. I drive rear wheels drive BMW's back and forth on 70 every year with no problem. Even if we were to get 4-8" it would be cleared very quickly...

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
I'm never afraid of driving in the snow and ice, its the idiot that's going too fast crashes and closes the highway for 4 hours you have to worry about. We cancled our trip to stl this weekend and we have a jeep.....

Re: Headed to St Louis to meet Ozark Tim and pick up a longhorn
Tim is a great guy to deal with. He has been to our shop and was good to do business with. I think he was helping a younger boy with his truck as well as working on his own.
