1961H67 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Interior is Red with all the gauges, it’s been repainted and the didn’t put the Statue of Liberty decal back, it’s a good running truck, it has a aluminum frame. , which is the worst part of the truck. I would still make a nice Freedom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mattb73lt Posted July 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2023 That’s how you get it done! A little at a time, sometimes bigger steps. With life that’s not always possible. Ordering parts, organizing something, getting some hardware on your way home from work, just something to move the ball forward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mattb73lt Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 Do what you can when you can. You've made great progress so far. It's a busy time of year and you gotta make money when you can. I ran my own train off the tracks taking on a 1941 Ford cruiser for the State Police Museum. Thought it would be a winter project, but my engine woes burned that time up. I promised to get it done and make it roadworthy and they've been bugging me to get it done and they are footing the bill for all the parts. So now it sits in the shop burning up my time. I was able to move the flatbed deck to my friend's shop tonight, plus all the steel to repair it. That'll take about a week, then it'll go to get sandblasted and painted. Thursday, I'm taking the B73 to a spring shop to add a helper leaf to the left front spring. It was re-arched as the two top leaves were bent when I got the truck and it started to sag a bit when I put the engine in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I see a cop car like that and it makes think of running moon shine. Or at the very least watching a movie about running moonshine 😃 And then BJ and the Bear springs to mind He always seemed to be topping of his tanks with moonshine to either hide it or out run the law A good looking car Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 NC State Troopers used to have a old patrol car like that, I think it was once in the transportation museum in Spencer, didn’t go in that area when I went to the truck show a few months ago, unsure if it is still there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Saturday Evening Post cover from 1943 that this car replicates and a recent photo the department did as a tribute. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. I know how much it hurts to lose a friend. I don't have many real friends left.

1961H67 Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 They are making a 4 lane on 143 ( Sweetwater Rd ) , across the Mt at the Appalachian Trail. I’ve been all over that area, there was a couple Superliners on 129 but I haven’t seen them lately. Still always looking for LJ parts ( Fenders mainly) when I’m back off the beaten path.
