Thanks License to Kill,, We get to chasing rabbits at times, and Trucks like the one I just posted is the reason I’m still working on the Coca Cola Painted LJ that I’m restoring . If I had stayed the course, it would have been done years ago. I probably should’ve started the post as “ Restoring a LJ “ . Matt got involved with a backdrop manifold and we became friends, and it’s gone from there. It’s been a great experience making a lot of friends, I’m planning on getting some more information on the Yellow LTH soon and sharing some of its history.. Thanks for the interest. 

Heading to Cherokee,,, I chose to haul it 60 miles because the 1973 rear tires ,, it was a nice show .

Great looking flooring! I floored my 53 foot Landoll year before last with Apitong , I was reading up on it and from what I gathered it’s the 2nd strongest wood in the world. I predrlled through the wood and cross member with a slightly smaller bit, then ran those torx head self tapping screws in with a 1/2 air wrench,,, Back braking! Yours will be perfect,, I know your work! 

Great,, we love C 10s and K 10s , got a couple of them. I’ll take some pictures of Cherokee tomorrow. Joey you have probably seen this R Model Mack around Salisbury, they bought it new,, we purchased it from them last week, they are 100% Mack guys! And my Grandson beside one of the newer ones. 

We got a little chill in the air , time to get Back in the shop on the LJ , trying to wrap the inside up ( except for the headliner, that will probably be last) 

Making a little more LJ progress, still  hoping a good set of fenders will pop up,, my Son ran across this the other day. Nice old truck,, but I don’t think I can fit another project! 

Sounds good, I’m going to try to make it around 9 ,, it’s loaded ,, my Nephew turned 2 today! 

I’m going to try to be there by 10 ,, group picture sounds good, y'all will see me with a 8 year old side kick. 

I know what you mean about WWII Veterans, I had 3 uncles and a lot of friends I worked with that were WWII veterans, My son did a class project when in High School on one uncle and video taped it, he was in Pattons army and he gave about a 30 minute detailed video,, it’s very interesting, they have all passed over 10 years ago now . I should have asked them More for sure! About a year ago I was trucking across Tennessee and stopped at a rest area on I40 ,,As I was coming out of the restroom a older man was walking in, i caught a glimpse of his cap ,, You don’t see many of these guys out now days, I waited for him, we talked for about 10 minutes, his family was waiting on him, he was from Indiana, He was very young when he went to Germany and Was In the Battle of the Bulge, then shortly afterwards they sent him towards Japan , he was on a ship going through the Panama Canal when they dropped “The Bomb “ , So they went to California and he came home. I thanked him and asked if I could take his picture, I think it made both of our days! Sorry for getting off track, I figured y’all would enjoy the story. The work on the rollback is looking amazing! I put the rollback on my H Model after I stretched it, and yours far more detailed!
