Yeah, like Leonard says, we miss our other siblings when away.
I tuned in here specifically to check on Bjorn's progress.
Speaking of Leonard..............
I had the opportunity to meet Leonard and the Baby Hemtt but only in a very truncated visit as I was in transit. Holy S*&T!! That HEMTT...
Yes, please do.
Since meeting and talking with you, you have given me new hope and inspiration to get my deuce on the road and driving it on a regular basis.
I'm up here in Yuba City (just north of Sacramento) to paint and stripe a 32 Ford Coupe Street Rod in the old school tradition - Scallops...
Veeeeeery Nice!
Looks like a good time by all was had.
Will, put in for the used veggie oil from all that deep fried food there at the fair you enjoyed so much!
Stretch, love the countryside.
What was that muffler the NAPA one that was mentioned in earlier postings. Looks good.
I guess no burnouts with all the dirt in the back, a wheelstand maybe? :lol:
Well I finally got to meet Bjorn and the mighty Cranetruck. My wife and I ventured out to meet him at his in-laws house in Ventura and really had a great time talking to him and looking over his Deuce with ALL the work he has done to it. Wow.
But the reason I post this is that he is working on...
Good to see you made it Bjorn.
I just returned from my job in Indio and would love to come up there and see you. I have 20 gals of WVO here and will gladly give it to you if you want it. I also have a HDPE 30 gal drum if you would like it to put diesel or bio in. I bought it new 1 month ago and...
Fantastic news. Big hats off to Leonard!!
I'll bet you have the biggest damn smile on your face watching a fellow MV brother motoring off with renewed vigor because of your help.
I broke down in Riverside last night and spent 2 hours last night and most of today working under my van. Got it...
Bjorn,
When one is driving a regular vehicle between Cheyenne, Salt Lake, and Reno on I-80 I guess one does not notice the hills as much as in a fully loaded Deuce. It is the same when I ride my bicycle on some roads that looked "rather flat" in the truck. "Wheeze, wheeze, wheeze!!" What was I...
OMG!
I just got online after working out of town for a week and read this thread. I have been broke down before in the middle of nowhere and it sure is a good feeling to have friends like all of you helping him out.
Hats off to all of you that are making every effort for Cranetruck's repairs...
Look at that beautiful countryside in the background, wow.
Bjorn,
I was just thinking, it might be interesting to bring a disposable camera along and take pictures of the people you get to meet with their rigs and keep a log book of your trip to share as you go. Im jealous of your adventure...
Read this article in this weeks LA Times. The guy is not too far from me and is just slammed with work. Wonder if he needs a helper with a big green truck? :D

Bjorn,
I have about 20 gals of WVO for you when you get here. You just have to show me your technique. :lol:
There is also a station that has diesel 1 block from my house.

I am keeping an eye for Bjorn's eta there. I want to hook up with him and Jones (Baby HEMTT) in Sacramento.
I'll kill 5 birds with one rock that way.
Bjorn, I noticed you posting about going 1 40 or 1 70. That I 70 route is really up in some high country at Eisenhower Pass Tunnel (11,000 ft)...
Wade-
Hwy 58 will take you right through Tehachapi. Nice town, I used to have a house there. We'll catch up with you some other time I guess. Safe journey to you.
Bjorn,
I do need to get up to my shop in Yuba City (just north of Sacramento). I want to meet up with you in Nor Cal and bench...
