I like that, Bob. Thanks. That truck is just what one of you western guys need. Unlimited potential there.

Yeah, he has a quasi-showroom on the north side of the road. It is truly a "junkyard".

Yep, that's the place I thought it was. He used to be in Albuquerque and was notoriously hard to deal with. I haven't talked to too many people who've had positive things to say.

I haven't tried knocking on his door so I can't so for sure though

The couple times I dropped in there the old man called it a museum. Wasn't selling anything. Somebody else might be calling the shots today.

As a woodie would be okay I guess, but to my taste it should stay a regular bus and gain some AWD attitude. We've seen Power Wagon buses, but never a M-H bus. Stu

F2R1SR14459. The book says SR is the Somerville plant. Never seen it before. Where is that?

Edit - Somerville, MA. Darnedest things you can learn on Google. Stu

LOL, yes, he used the word "museum" when I called about something he had on CL here, as I recall it was a shoebox Ford. He sells on consignment a lot.

My 97 Exploder is about to give up on me - I've been searching for something that I can haul stuff around in that's not exposed to the weather

I ran into this today searching google images. It's about as odd as I've seen for a while.

Those cars look like '54s to me. I have a '54 Mercury quite similar.

1953 Fords on the hauler. About the same as the 54, last year for the flathead. Very interesting tractor. Almost looks like they started with a Ford truck cab, doors?

Obviously that truck is a cab over but where and how does it get air to the radiator? It has no grille for air flow.

I think the engine is behind the cab, under the chassis. Seen one here
someplace with two flat motors side by side for (I think hauling missiles)
a while back also.
