Hope you have a great time with good weather.

Last time I was at Sauble beach was almost 25 years ago. Sauble sands provincial park? I think it was called. We met the park Rangers. They kept coming to our site to tell us to be a little more quiet. I remember they where cool about it.

Have a beer for me! Cheers!

That is a truck to be proud of ! Very nice.

Tervetuloa! ( )

Very good ! I like it.

Thanks for the pic.

I see the nice superliner float was at Mayfield and Hwy 50. It parks very close to that area. One day I will go grab a good pic for you.

Maybe we could get pics of the new Pinnacle

AYE! Standard equipment on anything I own.

Mine are not as fancy as Leversole though. Nice job looks good.

Happy birthday trash hauler !

I'm having a couple of rum and cokes for ya. Cheers !

Appraisal cost $20 so not bad. Was just thinking about the pic I posted of a restored one down in Niagara Region, Ontario. Owner is asking $50,000. Tax would be $6,500 on top of that.

I actually bought my truck for about $50 less than scrap (assuming she at least 10,000 lb with old dump body) so gov lost out on $6.50 of tax. The previous owner really wants to see the old truck restored - had the whole family - wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandkids and some people from down the road - out to take pics, watch it loaded and bid farewell. The PO has a lot of trouble walking but his mind still sharp. I hope to have the restoration well underway, maybe even finished, while he can still do an inspection.

I think it is great that you are thinking about the previous owner when you are doing your restoration. Imagine how happy he will be to see his old girl on the road again.

Some of us get pretty attached to our trucks, when you spend a lot of time in them, you can't help but get attached. So when you see it heading down the road , you hope its to a better place, not the scrap yard.

Looks to me, that B30 has a great new home!

Thanks for sharing your restoration with us.

in our part of the world we need 5 chains on a skid steer like that , one one each corner and one one the bucket. They say if it is quick attach, like that one will be, it needs to be tied down. ……Extreme in my opinion……. but I would certainly have chains on it, even if I was going a block down the road.

Thanks for your input everyone.

Might be the question that has no answer.

Class act for sure.

Thanks for the input so far.

All 3 of mine are Oakville Ontario trucks. I'm 99 percent sure they all have original hoods. The RD's do for sure.

I'm starting to think it is the year? Maybe the natural progression was a metal bezel, then to a plastic bezel, then to simplify things, no bezel. It is possible that the older

R's I see without a bezel have replacement hoods... Possible?

My curiosity has got the best of me.

My 85 and 86 RD hoods have an extra plastic bezel? around the headlight.

But my 88 R does not.

My first thought was the hood changed because of the year. Since I have started to look I have seen older R's without the bezel .

My next thought was that it was an RD thing. The extra bezel, bucket? might make the hood a little stronger in rough environments.

But I have seen a lot of strait R's with them, so that doesn't seem right either.

Could someone shed some light on this for me.

Thanks

Great pics !! thanks for sharing

You had been gone for a bit I noticed…..thought you had gone to get your DMM.

Thanks for the pics!! You shouldn't have trouble selling it, looks like a good truck

Don't get discouraged, your truck looks great!!!!

When you get to show it off a little, you will realize the time and $$$$$ are worth it.

Thanks for the input guys.

If I am ever lucky enough to get a new bumper, I would gladly give you the old one J_martel.

Thanks so much for sharing , a lot of beautiful trucks that I wouldn't have been able to see. Hopefully next year I can see them in person.

im likin the colors, . . . keep the spokes on the front, makes her look tough

Look familiar Maddog, not sure if I should have kept them black. Thoughts??

What a smart looking truck.The RD I mean, the CX is pretty nice to. I love it! It looks like it has factory illuminated mirrors ( something I recently discovered), hopefully they are in good shape.

Maybe we could see some more pics some time

Keith

Good pic superdog!

Good look'n B…………..
