Spring here as been ideal, with no snow precipitation during the whole month of March....... but I do miss the ability to drive to the village and pickup some nuts and bolts, etc. working alone in the fresh Spring air is nice but not has pleasant as having some one else around to chit chat,compare notes, swap ideas and gets outright boring after a while.

Hello Bob, indeed these are strange times. Recently I read an article that especially for men with their "hanging around together" types of friendship (you know, twirling spanners and drinking beer) are impacted more by the social distancing than (online) "chatty" female friendships. Hang in there, it will be over sometime soon. Whenever I feel locked up, I think of Anne Frank and the thousands of other people who had to live in hiding for many years with the fear of being sent to a concentration camp if caught....

Send my regards to Rob and Grant - maybe this desert truck will give you the inspration for a sorely missed "Hammond Barn" series of threads

hi bob

There should be a easier way of doing a 15 cwt Indian pattern type vehicle. There must be plenty of 1941 to 47 Chev 1/2 ton pickups around in your country , these have the correct 115" wb for a 1941 Indian but the snag is you would need the RHD components . Used to be a number of those 41 to 47 Chev utes around here in Aust., RHD , maybe somebody has one that is only good for parts.
