If you find someone who is willing to paint it yet this year, make sure they have a booth or some other form of curing the paint properly. Trust me, paint is not something to rush. I learned my lesson on that one with the '88. I still kick myself for the little imperfections in the paint on it because I rushed it and sprayed on a cloudy day, got some rain drops on the clear-coat. I also sprayed in late August, a little cool out when I did it and you can see it in the way it cured. I also could have taken some more time on the body work, wet-sanding and prepping for paint. Optimum spraying conditions IMHO are after a rain (to keep dust down), in the sun and about 75 deg F.

Both of mine are that way. I like them, especially for ergonomic comfort and the warmth of the spokes in the middle of the winter...

Someday, I hope to own 5-20 acres of land with plenty of trees on it. When I get to the point of having a garage, I'm following in my Dad's footsteps and going all wood. Free heat for the rest of my life. (Thats if I go all Paul Bunyan on the trees and chop them by hand. Chainsaw fuel is still a minimum cost in my eyes. :yes: )

:D I know, I know. Yet Again, have fun without me. Oh, there isn't a chance of me missing out on going home this time, I'll be back in Reed City, Michigan Nov. 19-28. Thats almost 10 days of helping Dad on his Willy's build, deer hunting and feasting. All of Christmas vacations this year is up at her place in the UP, so this is the chance for me to spend time with my family for the Holidays.

BULLSHEET! They have this discount stuff every holiday weekend. Holiday weekend = Me not here. WHY do they do this on holiday weekends? They would have such a better turnout if they do it on weekends people are around.

Signing out, good luck the rest of the night.

So, we are IDLE again...?

I DID see 37 a few seconds ago.

:D

Box O Goodies is in the mail!

I've got some old tools that I can box up and ship out in a flat rate box. I need his address to send them to.

Congrats Ben! I hope to someday be able to see this one up close too. Excellent truck.

So unfair.

Very nice!

I'll have to OK it with my fiance, but I should be able to attend. :nuts: So what happens when we all get together and there are only 57 on?

You're welcome, thanks for a clean sale.

I've got a few "Comanche" emblems. GOOD ones and ones in not so good shape. How much are they worth to ya? Good luck finding a "Metric Ton" emblem for sale...

:popcorn:

I bet that was an interesting experience. Ouch.

You're welcome. If you want a shot of it without the center cap, just let me know.

Use this one all you want...I took this shot a few weeks ago of my NOS one. Also, I've heard other names for some of the wheels you have posted up. Example - I've always referred to the wheel pictured above as a "Turbine," not a "10 Spoke."
