Default Looks like a good start to me

I wondered why we hadn't heard from you in a while, now I know. You can probably find the bits you need through the people on here, sooner or later.
Let me know if you need anything for it that I might find here. I've made some progress with the van, but not needing the brackets and stuff you have for me right now unless you need the room or a cheap shipping option comes up.

You've not been able to be out and find other interesting stuff lying around then? I miss your discoveries which were normally more interesting than most. Wonder how that early Dodge truck is doing in Europe?

Well Hello Gordon!
Hope everything is going well for you! Your stuff is here when you need it.
Still finding plenty of trucks around, just not posting about it very much anymore. Did the guy in Colorado get in touch with you about the WC-37?
Never heard another word about the '34 Dodge.
Best Regards, David

Default Good luck with the C8

You'll probably find as many parts locally as I will here for a C8 I think, but good luck with it.

Don't remember any WC 37 discussion, certainly not recently. I could do with those parts but like you I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff, but if anything else is shipping this way do let me know.

Most of the ordinary stuff you find is no big deal, but do let everyone know when you find something as rare as that '34 Dodge, that was a gem. I'm searching hedgerows for a Pacific M26A1 with an M15A1 trailer, but I'm not looking THAT hard in case I actually find one, being skint as usual.

Very close! Mine was a 1934 model KH 31 military version with the original markings and "suicide" doors. That one is a '35 with the front-hinged doors. Always loved the old Dodges and other trucks of the 30's. Have a '34 Chev that came on the same load with the C8 that I will get around to eventually. Oops, I guess I am getting off topic!
