The cab 12 from Mel and the "body"....
Back to the chicken farm......
Now mid June to bring back the cab 12...... safely at home in the driveway.... One of the original run flat tire had a little cut in the side wall..... I inserted my Ford door key a full 1 1/2 half inch into the cut.... tire was flat yet it held up the front end of the cab as if inflated..... Now the HUP body was another storey and another weekend.... deep intot he woods of cottage country...... Biran and Mel pooled there collective memory to figger out where it was last seen.....hidding behind a cloud of black flies..... there she was in all her glory....not sure if they were bullet holes or fly bites.... skidding her on without wheels was a challenge but we did it..... a bit of jacking....some lumber..... some heaving.... and she got one nicely.... Brian could not resist looking under the front seat for loose change... probably looking for a "1943 thumback nickel" made of copper.... Drive home was uneventful except for some OPP chickee who stopped us to check our seat belts and see if we had been drinking.... she probably assumed we had to be drunk to drag that thing home...... Although we have said it before .....it bears repeating...... none of this would have happened without the help, assistance and guidance from Brian..... ....... at least that's what we told our wifes...... BooBee PS...... and thank God my 'Puter is up and running...again !!!!
