And the fleet grows

I got the 40 parts truck bought today.
And got this in the deal.




It might actually run. The old guy said it ran good and when he parked it and he pulled the intake and poured oil down the holes a few times to keep valves from sticking.

It's beat to heck but I caught the old guy at a weak moment and bundled it really cheap with the 40

I thought there wasn't titles but the old guys wife called and said they had a title for the wrecker. It's probably going to be for sale once I get it pried from the frozen ground and hauled in. My working capitol is down to about nil and I have other 40-41 trucks I want to buy.

It's how I pay for my addictions, buy enough extra stuff to take what I need and get all my money back from selling off the rest. Sometimes I even make money.

The best way to be in the car hobby. The ONLY way for most of us. I am addicted to picking up another one and I see no cure on the horizon.

Love that style COE's. I just got rid of 3 cabs, too much project for me at this time.
