Were most the vehicle able to move under there own power? Eight weeks to move all your stuff, you are a bigger pack rat than me. Of course I was regulated by the military for 25 years on how much junk I could move around. I would probably have the same amount too. I have collected two vehicles, three snowmobiles and one ATV since I moved here. Man, I bet your glad it's done.

Only 8 made it under their own power................."pack rat" You have no idea! Merely mentioning "moving" around my buddies is cause for panic. Thanks to 2 long term friends, my son, my son-in-law, and 1 brother-in-law we got it done. I now have a huge barn, 5 other buildings, 2 40' containers, all full, and a line of Fords outside.

Now for the good news. Had a buddy call me last night. He found a 56 Ford panel I can get for FREE!

That's awesome, but I thought you had a panel van? Is this one going to be used for parts? So let's see some pictures of the collection. I remember seeing your sons 61, i think it was.

I do have a 53 Panel that's going on a 73 F-250 HiBoy frame this winter.

I have no idea what will happen to the 56 Panel yet. My son or son-in-law might want it, or maybe a friend. I have room for it, and don't want to see it get distroyed. I'll post some pics of my Fords when I get a chance. I just took some pics the other day of my 35 project. I chopped the top on it a couple of years ago, then it was stuck in the back of the barn until just a couple of weeks ago.

OK, here's a teaser! My 35 project:

Great little place, but I don't like towns, so I live ten miles north of town!

I have 2 neighbors. One 5 miles southeast, and one 7 miles northwest of me. I love the solitude.

Where else can you shoot a deer off the front pourch..............

I still get up every morning at 0400. Couldn't stop if I tried.

This is a fairly slow time for me, won't really pick up until spring. That's OK though I hate the winter. I'll be working on my projects thru the winter this year.

Flattie 59AB w/C-4 auto.

Keep your eye's open for a hood for it. I don't need the sidecurtains, just a hood.

The truck will get a custom all aluminum 3/4 size double boom wrecker body built just for it. Something to showcase my skills...........
