  1. That name Mutrie rings a bell from North Joisey.. BUT I can not picture a truck??
  2. Let's hope that Trump's taking control of DC's crime problem will spread to other cities in the US and clean up this problem nationwide..
  3. Paul, Thank you for the video on Kurt Johannsen.. I have seen "Bertha" in person at the Truckies Museum in Alice Springs. Everyone should put that museum on their bucket list.. Picture taken in August 2015.
  4. Hopefully he killed it.. You do NOT need them digging holes in your lawn..
  5. From the top of the dipstick hole, where ever it is mounted to the proper level should still be the same?? so your old dipstick should work??
  6. There is a fire truck behind the wimmin??????????????????
  7. With that padded seat in the chair, DO NOT fall asleep!!!!!
  8. My parents had a 39 Chevy business coupe, NO back seat.. I can remember standing up in back behind the seat looking over their shoulders..
  9. There was a while I had to go thru Postimage.com (afreebe site)to get mine to post
  10. I drove a 78 Frtlnr with a big cam one 350 in it. The owner only used the local tap water plus anti freeze init with no water filter.. Had an overheating problem pulling hills. That water with NO additives had eaten the fins right off the water pump. In the process he also learned his cause of cracked liners!!!
  11. I like them on the floor also, BUT they like to fill with dirt and water to corrode them out of service..
  12. To Everybody:::: That is why it is so important to list your location, at least the state, in your profile!! That is why I sent Brad to Iowa 80 to ask questions..
  13. My 1949 Diamond T model 201 one ton pick up was done entirely by a restorer and it cost me about $65K.. Plus the original price of the truck and transportation to and from the shop in Amarillo TX..
  14. My condolences to the Manchester family.. I have seen their trucks at both Cortland NY and Macungie PA.
  15. As Dean said above, ANY restoration is very labor intensive!!!! With restoration shops getting big buck$ per hour!! How much of the work can you / your family do yourselves????? What are your mechanical and/or body skills???? Do you have a facility to work in??? Does your family want a showroom perfect restoration or just a very showable truck??? Take a bunch of pictures (post them here!) and visit the Iowa 80 museum in Walcott IA and ask a bunch of questions.. They will also know of vendors in your general area to do individual parts of the restoration: Engine, Brakes, interior, and paint.. IF you can do a lot of the work, there is a LOT of help and information on this forum. With no pictures it is hard to guesstimate how much it would cost, BUT for a top showroom restoration, entirely by an outside shop, I am guessing off the top of my head, the price would be well in excess of $100K!!! The bottom line is your ability's and checkbook VS your family's wants!!!!!!!!!
