That red and white one looks a whole lot better than the one I owned I bought it for 1200.00 or1500.00 and ran it till the trans started to jump out of gear sold it for parts to a guy for just a little less than I paid for it.

That one was at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor museum. It was parked out back, and the last time I was there they still hadn't put it on display inside.

I did see something that looked like it might have been one or something close that was behind a repair shop in Minden Nevada it was all in primer somebody was in the middle of restoring this thing it appeared …that was about six years ago it did  have that overall appearance  that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to one other than moms car…. With 3000 pounds of chrome inside and out you would think they would have been  more of a big hit… Bob

If I could post pics, I would have showed some shop work I did,  just to keep this thread alive too...   :)  jojo

Yea that would be awesome. That issue really needs to be resolved.

 It was suggested that I make a donation to BMT..  I did.. but there is no new data space.. its ok..  I should have learned a new way of posting pics.. I was going to post a picture of an E-Tech that I just finished,, boring but still 'shop talk'  :)  I also rebuilt a back box in a metric eaton,  and when I was pressing the yoke off the case cracked in half..  that was a first, and also gave me a sinking feeling..  c ya later,,  jojo
