Joe,

well this is a double post... wrote first in the other thread and now copied here...

Well I'm stuck down here in Alabama and nowhere near your rally route... but as soon as you mentioned St. Jude and Make-a-wish you had me. My grandson spent last year there as a brain tumor survivor and was treated to Disneyworld by Make-a-wish. There isn't a better pair of charities in the U.S. for my money...

Put me in for $100.00 for whatever... gas, food, hotels. If it helps St. Jude, I'm in !!

just need a name and address for a check or you might consider setting up a Pay-pal account for everyone to donate thru..

good idea you had here and it should get great support.. ESPECIALLY from the union firemen across the country...they are great at this type function.

good luck

John

BTW you should contact Tim or Ken (George is out of service for a while) and get them to 'sticky' these threads up at the top...that way they won't get lost

 

bump to the top

 

Just to show my seriouness, I am posting my contact info publicly. If you are sending money, please state if it is for the truckin' fund, or if it is intended for St Judes, M-A-W foundation.

I've got access to a bank account. Do you guys prefer Bank of America, or U.S. Bank? Let me know.

 

i could try to convence the fire deperment to throwe in some fire goodies such as maybe an old motor siren or some old single rotating lights ( a neighboring town still has an early fifties late fortys ford fire truck in service and yes i have acutally seen it put out a fire

 

Joe,

I will toss some cash your direction, and I can probably arrange a hotel night along the way.

I'll get with my brother-in-law tonite. He and his girlfriend have both offered me their extra bank accounts for use in this whole thing.

 

Here's what I'll do for you.

I've a '48 F1 parts truck, front fenders, hood, doors, vent frames, cab, inner fenders, gas tank, filler neck, speedo cluster, ashtray, glovebox lid, suspension-minus gearbox/pitman arm and column) door handles, latch panels, hidden latch, farme (spoken for) x member with pedals and mounts, rear fenders. Gotta be 5/600 in parts here? I'll donate 50% of the proceeds to your fund...25% to go to the travel fund, 25% to go to the charity fund and 50% in my pocket. I don't really know how to manage it, nor how long it will take to sell it all. Maybe someone can ake a small website and post a link for it to keep track of what is sold and for how much?

 

Ok. Bump to top. It's 10 days til pick up weekend. time to get organized, and work out a schedule.

 

Bump up. 7 days til pick up, and counting.
