Sad to down size.

After realizing that I`ll never get to these I sold two 56 F100 trucks plus a decent cab.

Hopefully the buyers will get them back on the road and give you a ride when they are finished. Does the one you kept run or will this give you time & $$ to finish one?

Morris, by moving those on you made someone happy and maybe even a new member or two.

Now you can mow that patch they were parked on before winter comes.

That must of been a terribly hard call to make. But if you know it was more than you ever get to, its understandable. At least they will end up back on the road, plus you still have a really awesome stable to enjoy.

Sometimes you just need to cull the heard. Its always tough but in the end you'll feel a bit better about having the extra space (and cash) around.

You've probably made someone very happy

I`m a bit sad about that old 1957 Ford tractor, I`ve replaced it with a shinny new Deere. It seems that I`m making too many changes all at once.

One or both may well end up in the USA, the local buyer also has a winter home in AZ. I moved the trucks a couple times as year to prevent the grass from getting too high but often I had a smile on my face as I did it.

I do feel like it`s time to cut back as I know that I`ll never get to them.

That's a very nice 1964 Galaxie 500 XL. I had the same car, except mine was Pagoda Green.

I got rid of a few things awhile back do to health and a reality check. Of the 4 vehicles I actually gave one of them to distant family member who is known for completion of a project. That's the one I feel the best about.
