Default On the road again

Bob, Grant and I are on the road again. This time to pick up an engine and an old GMC frame in Quebec. Yes, this is a border raid. Currently we are bouncing tthru Montreal. Too bad the Quebec government doesn't put some of our transfer payments into fixing the roads properly. I guess declaring war on "pasta" is more important. More later.

Default loaded Up

Bob picked up his reconditioned 235 engine and 1937 truck frame. After the load up we stopped in to Prefair. It was odd to see all three AA guns gone. We saw one bargain - TA 43s for 15 bucks each. Now back on the road heading for home.

I admire one of those three 90 mms every day on my home.

That is a good price on the field telephones. I always look forward to visits to that store. Geography limits me to once every 2 or 3 years.

Ian, Message passed.
Rob, Not too many deals seen today, but they do have an Iltis for sale for only 8400 dollars...

Will off load tomorrow. Beer is calling our names.

Default Border Raid Photos

1 - A hint about how much snow fell in the Granby region of Quebec.
2 - 37 Chev frame - in very nice condition.
3 - A very light load indeed. See any CMP similarities?
4 - On the trailer and ready to go
5 - Final inspection.

The engine is on the back of the truck. Bob may add some details about it.
