I honestly don't know WHERE the tank is, it may still be somewhere here at the hooch...or who knows where. There were several other goodies in a box BFR brought with the truck...I don't know where they went either. I suspect they underwent a "transfer of accountability" without my knowledge as...
I can assure you with NO worry about overkill it has been 25 to 30 years...and that I think I could verify thru the PO if needed.
I just can't find the words to say how much I appreciate all the sweat and blood Dave has put into this truck bringing her back from a comatose state to a living...
One snakes a chain through the shredded tire and hooks a ratchet binder to the trailer and chain and...well...you just had to be there...took me a few minutes to develop that technique...LOL:papabear:
Jeff, one of the guys at the Gathering this year mentioned he and some others were going to try and build Brutus. I didn't get his name or location because I was being grabbed and pulled in four directions at once and I had forgotten you were doing this truck.
Do you have some sorta group...

I'll take care of all the "nit picking" stuff at some point...or not.:papabear:

OK...here's how this works (IMO). Nobody hates anybody's truck and nobody plays favorites for whoever owns the trucks.:D
Remember how may times it took Sandcobra to win with his pristine ALMOST NOS CUCV? I thought he was gonna stroke out before he won...but he did! You just gotta keep at it til...
John Dodd posted on the Guntruck Site this looks like it will be the biggest Gathering yet (people wise). Looks like we may be shy a few Guntrucks though.
Ace of Spades and Untouchable are on site and in action and have been giving rides around the area and representing well.
Proud American is...
Holy smokes!!! The clutch and brake pedals are no longer stuck to the floor!!:shock:
Zout-2 has a special surprise coming from me when we pick the truck up but I ain't tellin ya what it is!:naner:
We have the other radios...and the telephones/switchboard (thanks to you Mike). That rascally BC-325 has eluded us so far though. One of these days I hope to sneak up on one.:papabear:
You funny GI!!
I hope you didn't let all the smoke outta the box cause it's impossible to get it back in!!
