WI chapter seems awfully quiet, so I'm asking here.
Don't know anyone in that area. I'm about an hour west of there. You looking to buy a trailer, or something to haul the truck home with?

There's a truck, and another half of a truck for parts, plus a couple other axles and parts. I have a friend who can probably get most of it, but not all of it. It's a bigger truck, so no small car hauler will work. My wife is not agreeing to it, so it may all be for nothing.

I don't know anyone with a trailer, but I am sure someone on here does.

That sure sucks Dave, hope everything works out for you. It was definitely a weekend I'd like to forget.

Hey Mike, yeah. I'm sorry to hear about your uncle.

We are starting camper shopping asap! Not sure if we will be coming camping or not...

Good evening guys!!

Well the street rod got us up to my relatives and back! Put on about 400 miles all together so that was nice. I will be swapping transmissions soon though. Anything more than 1/2-3/4 throttle and it slips bad. Luckily I have one at the shop and ready to go!

Mike I am sorry to hear about your uncle as well.....

That looks like a decent camper Dave. What is your budget on the camper? Got any pics loaded up yet?

Evening Troy! Good to hear about the car, minus the tranny...

I am currently looking to be around the $6,500 mark. Depending on what I "net" from the truck damage I may go higher. I had the value set at $5,000 on the camper with a $1,000 deductible, so I will get $4,000 for that. There are a ton of pics on FB. I will post a few up here...

Yeah lucky for me that tranny in that car is easy to swap!

Gotcha on the camper price. I will sneak on Beth's FB and check out the pics as well.

Wow that is crazy Dave! Some major cleanup there for sure. That Ford dually looks like it lost the fight with that tree!
