What is that cop doing? Trying to push the truck back on its wheels?

I think the car is an Olds... looks like a 53.

No that is a Cadet from VFMA. It might be Michael or the driver. There are probably more Cadets on the other side of him.

We did that once to change the clutch on a Datsun B210. The cops and ambulance crew were sure pissed off when they came screaming up with sirens blaring to find us standing around with greasy hands and cold beers.....oops

I saw that truck at the Portland swap meet a couple years ago. I always meant to upload the pic, but never got around to it. It's in my phone, and it looks like it was taken from the exact same spot as yours. Cool truck!

Another not so oddball but still not one you would see very often.

Someone better buy this one soon before I get any stupid ideas for a mobile parts storage vehicle... Although I sure could use it for that.

I sent the link to Panelman a few days ago but I guess he isn't buying any more projects?? Chicken.... someone triple dawg dare him..

also I noticed its advertised more than one place with more than 1 asking price so I'm sure someone could get it for less than what this add says.?

What would that VIN decode as? B5M1HM24248
Doesn't seem right, at least the B5M part.

There you go Ross, you can then pick up FTE buddies on the way there. You had better get cracking so you have it ready for Truckstock 2015.
