mowerman Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Well, it’s nice to know that I’ve got something to fall back on. I would gladly go down there and help out once in a while, but I really don’t want anything steady. I guess they do not pay very well because this chick is always looking for help. Their drivers are paid hourly next time I see her. I will just have to ask what the hourly pay is just out of curiosity. And yes, we are stepping on.Vlads tread. I am sure he’s not going to care like my DM progress. It’s just for bullshitting mainly Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75759-marriage/page/2/#findComment-578785 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky seeing the truck in person when I had a chance to visit the museum in 2018 (many thanks to Doug Maney for the appartunity) I even have a little bit of relation to the truck. Once the museum crew initiated the restorations they contacted me on possibility purchasing an oil filter housing. The reason was I also owned a NM (and own it now) and had requested the built sheet for it previousely. Unfortunately I didn't have the needed part so I asked my Dutch friend who was reacher than me on Lend-Lease stuff. Ended up he donated that filter housing to the museum and the deal was done. There also was a thread on the forum on how that truck was purchased (actually - saved) from a certain facility before it took its way to the museum. I doubtly could find that post but had saved pics from there. 5 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75759-marriage/page/2/#findComment-579932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
