I hope I dont start another world war or get pelted to death slowly with small stones, (especially on this Canadian forum) but the truth is they were the best of their time to drive.
This is just my humble opinion, but they were more driver friendly than any British or CMP truck. The USA was at the peak of it's game when these were built.

Now, ...................somewhere to hide??

Can I press the submit button with a long stick, from my hidy hole?

BTW very nice Robert and Keith!

Progress has been slow lately as the weed spraying has taken up most of Kevin's time. I managed to get off work today with time to take some photos of what has been achieved in the last fiew months.

It will be a while before any more progress is made as Kevin is cleaning up and packing getting ready to move closer to town. He needs to build a new shed at the new house and move everything before any more restoring takes place.

I finally got to Kevin's new shed with a camera. The list of toys is expanding.

Excellent Robert, that yellow FWD is ex. Glen Stones. I had a bit to do with it's restoration. It is a first class restoration. The engine side panels came of my FWD and I managed to eventually find some more for mine. For the timber body Glen used the metal brackets of a wooden Studebaker tray and had to widen it 8 inches to make it correct for the FWD. It is a really to job. Glad it has gone to a good home and not overseas.

Regards Rick.
