Also, per the thread mentioned above about wheels on Craigslist, I've talked to the seller.
Trying to figure out getting them from Boise to St. Louis...

Looking for wheels locally too.

Welcome to FTE,
Keep your eyes open for those older Rv's sometimes you can buy the entire Rv for what the wheels would cost you. $200-500 range. pull the wheels off and anything else easy to sell? put your widow makers back on the RV and resell it to break even or better, and or part it totally out and make a couple $$

Found a picture for You! A Beer A Day... | Flickr - Photo Sharing!



Cheers

Josh

That is wicked cool, thanks!

Unfortunately, Deschutes has a dramatically bigger budget than I do...

If you don't have a label yet, here's the former label Deschutes put on their Hop Trip beer. It is today NLA, unless you know a guy. You might want to include a drawing of your truck in your logo. Stu

Thanks, Stu.

I'm thinking of a variation on that - a high IBU IPA or double IPA called Hop Loaded or something similar, with truck hauling a giant hop cone.

Hello, and welcome from California.

A wine guy also signed up over the weekend with an F4 that he plans to use around the vineyard.

I'd say that this is an excellent way to put the big trucks to work!!

Greetings beer hauler!

I'm the winery guy in California. I'm sure you had the same idea as I did, if you're going to have a truck to haul around with, might as well make it a sweet a** old one!

As far as anyone looking for barrels to spice up their restored truck, i have access to all of the old wine barrels you could ever want.

Where are you?
I spent some time in Paso Robles and Cayucas with a little vineyard/wine producer named River Star. I'd live to get some port barrels to age some beer in but I'm thinking the shipping would be brutal.

Our building is a 100 year old former creamery, all of the decor is 1900 - 1950's beer signage and advertising, and I'm a gearhead, so I've got to have an old truck and I've watched this one sit in the weeds for 10 years.
