    I hate it when people park vehicles in a field or yard and never do anything with them . They dont want to sell them , nor do they want to repair them . I dont get it . Cool cars and trucks just rust away .

    Our trucks are expensive so we try to use them in every way.

    I prefer the GMCs of that era because they had four headlights.

    So, when are they going to hook another tractor up to the back end, facing the other direction? Wahhh-la, reverse gear(s)!

    I might have 205'd myself here but what the hell. The military stuff belongs to a friend. The Shiny stuff was at a local car meet last summer.

    I dunno if this is cool, but it is different! Looks like it started life as a grain truck (it was in Saskatoon) [​IMG]

    There is a show on Canadian TV called The Prairie Farm Report airs on Sundays. It is totally amazing to see what these Saskatchewan farmers can build in their shops during the winter. Particularly truck motor installs like a CAT in your pick up truck.

    Really not much to tell. Just quit on the highway like one turned off the ignition.
