    Sad Day, watched it drive away....

    The old girl is at her new home, ran flawlessly for him, not a hiccup. The leak must have been the slobber tube as he said it is not leaking now. He sent me a photo of it backed up in the driveway at its new home. Looks like a beautiful place to call home.... He is a happy camper, truck ran...

    Sad Day, watched it drive away....

    I got a message about an hour ago, he was 50 miles from home. The old girl ought to be resting in her new neighborhood any minute now. Hopefully he gave the door latch a little lube and the leak was from the slobber tube and not the front seal. Oh well, I guess a few mechanical problems are to...

    I directed the new owner of the C to this site. Not sure if he has a user ID yet, but he has been soaking up a lot of information. The other buyer I contacted through this site. He was looking for a deuce and sounded like he was about to get hosed. I told him he could have his choice of my two...

    Thanks for the kind words Tony, you are stuck with me, I love the deuces. We have three that need attention at Riley to pick up yet. The instrument panel wiring was cut on all three. I know they probably have some issues, but I would like to get them running and sell them rather than see them go...

    Called the buyer, he made it to Dodge City to bed down for the night. Truck is running great, he said the front engine seal is leaking and the driver's door will not latch. He thinks it is missing me. I offered a full refund and I would go get it, but that is not happening. He is over halfway...

    Bud Boy was classic. He was out in the yard off leash. He started to chase it. I called him back, he looked over his shoulder, head tilted, ears locked forward, as if to say that's our truck.. I had to call him a second time, he does enjoy his deuce! He came inside and plopped down outside the...

    This one has a picture window in the side of the block, looks like exit stage right. I assume a rod escaped. It still cranks over... Maybe it will run a little ways on five.

    If you do, give me enough advance warning to grab my fishing poles, dog and run!

    I found a nice M813 with a blown engine, Thursday may be my day. We have a newly rebuilt 250 in a crate from Riley, it may be the five ton forums I will be bugging next. Good plan, now to seek out insurance.... Glen

    My 1972 M35A2 just left, a new owner at the wheel. What a wonderful truck he got. I hope he treats it well and it does the same for him. She will be headed for Oklahoma, close to the Texas panhandle. Other than an alternator and axle seals, it was a trouble free truck. I just hope I can find one...
