Nice truck, welcome aboard.

What's the story with the old tin in the background?

Real nice truck! Welcome to FTE!

Where are you from and where is that junkyard?

And why do vintage cars and trucks look good in snow?

Nice job on the truck. Profile says MI, which probably should be reflected in the upper right hand corner of your postings. Can be added in your profile section.

The left front at least is not a widow maker. Hope the rest are similar. Stu

Yea, I saw the LF is a lock ring, but the LR appears to be a WM.
