I recently stumbled across an old fella that had a farm full of scrap. Farming implements, trucks and machinery were piled up everywhere. He was reluctant to discuss the sale of any of the gear and all seemed hopeless  He then called me over to a medium sized header sitting under a tree. "Can you find me a front jockey wheel for one of these" he asked. We discussed the jockey wheel and I said I will keep an eye out for him as I stumble across lots of old farming equipment. From that point on, he was very accomodating and we began talking about military stuff. I now had a 'foot in the door'

George, it must be the air or something in Alberta because the $1,000.00 bill worked for me also. Brian Gough and I had rented a motor home and were doing the tour. We made a wrong turn in Lethbridge and ended up in a vacant lot that had a mint 1938 Chev 1 1/2 ton. It had been a Lethbridge fire truck. The guy wanted way too much and my offer was way too low. Like you I flashed the $1000.00 bill and when his wife saw it the deal was done.
The truck can now be seen here for sale....http://www.willysacres.com/.....no connection,yada, yada. Barry
