I went to highschool in Puyallup. Left there in 1966 and never go back. Those people up there are crazy!

Have a safe trip home........

Get that farmer to tell his buddys about this. Word-of-mouth is the best!

Maybe they can buy "kits" and have them field-installed by someone who knows what they're doing.

Hope your travel time either gets mileage, or time included, or both!

Just wait until folks find out there's a "shop"! You may not have enough parking out front, Don.

Stick to your guns Don, they will eventually get the idea and move on. Of course a little jingle in the pocket when working on your own project isn't bad either.

The owner of the only shop in town is worried, he asked my son if we are going to compete with him...........

I have to work Wed, but I'm only 4 miles from the house. If you come Wed my wife can call me when you get here and I can come help ya load it. Yes. I have a portable "A" frame that can load the cab. I also have a good rust free 65 cab with a good windshield that you could take back if you want too.......

When you get to Condon head North on Hwy 19. Ten miles North of town at mile post 27 is a gravel road heading West called Pennington Road. Turn on that road and I'm the only place on the road. About 1 mile after you take Pennington Road, on the left side.
