Well, my long journey and adventure with Edith has come to an end. The old girl pulled out of here about 10 mins. ago headed to her new home in Texas. I was sad to see her leave, but now I have a lot more room in the barn and some well earned cash to get back to work on Dollie. I don't know if I will be able to get her done in time for Truckstock 2017 but I am gonna giver her a try.

 

Oh my! I couldn't imagine selling something as beautiful as Edith.
I'm sure the new owner has a grin he can't get off his face.

Now, dig into Dollie and keep us informed of her progress.

 

Sad indeed but perhaps congrats are in order of you got the price you wanted!

 

Pretty Close!

 

Daymn, Joe, that old girl, Edith was family. You can figure out how to get Dollie to TS17 I am sure. She may not be decked in all her finery but we expect her to be there. Think positive.
Edit: Did Edith leave under her own power or on a trailer?

 

Hey Joe,
Where is she headed in Texas? I'll keep an eye out for her.
It was 85 here last week ... she may be happy here ... until summer hits!

Got a call from the new owner this morning. Truck arrived about 6PM last night, he's happy with the truck. The transport guy must have thought Edith was a 2010 instead of a 1950 as he tried to 'fold' the mirror in and broke the arm, wish he would consulted with me when I loaded it for him, I could have loosened the arm to move up or down for him.

 

if that is the arm that comes off the hing , I have one

 

Can't resist:


Happy New Year, y'all.

 

Dave it is, but it is an adjustable arm, the one for the pickups aren't long enough to get the mirror head to clear the bed. I found an aftermarket one at a parts store near him.

 

Wow, service after the sale! He'll buy from you again.
