Yes, with the other one on it back, End of march is fine with me Jim. I still have not heard from the seller yet. Usually you hear from them right away. Not a good sign. I left 3 emails so far.

I like the truck.-I should be able to make a trip.If Jim can go,it is ok..I will let you know.I am retired,so I have the time,but never Know,what's going to happen till then.How long is your trailer?I hauled my F600 on a 30 foot deckover with 4 'beavertail,and a power stroke,was my buddies.Pulled great.My f600 weighed near 9,000 lbs.This grain truck should be near that.I am hauling my vanbox thursday--it is the warmest day--the weather channel said.I only have to haul it 111 miles,so I will just use my GMC.--I would use the 56,but still no brakes.
Kevin--just let me know and no problem if Jim,or ? goes.I love them big ole' trucks--you must too!!!!

Looks like a great find Kevin, hope the lack of response from the seller is not a bad sign.

Seller finally responded. It looks like everything will be fine. I will talk to him directly sometime today. I asked if I could pick the truck up end of march if weather is ok. Wil wait to hear from him.

I must not have been thinking. Price is right and I like road trips. The person left me an email he was going to call, but has not yet. I might get out of it, who knows. I went 18 hours one way turned and came back. total trip 40 hours.

If we're gonna do this, we need to meet and do some planning. I don't have anything that would help carry this thing back, but we can share the driving, if you have something to carry it back with.

I rent a trailer. I talked to the owner today. He suggested waiting until after the snow is done. They are expecting another 12 inches. I told him I would pay him and pick it up end of march or april. He said that was fine with him it was not going anywhere. Walford56 is going to come down to Massillon sometime to the restaurant, maybe we can all meet at once and plan the convoy. Let me know what you think or whens good for you. I can always come up that way to. Our high school team played yours tonight. I did not get the score yet though. I was planning on coming, but our football coach needed some help for a clinic he was holding.

I'm pretty open most of the time, let me know when Walford56 plans to come, and I'll try to make the same time. I assume we're probably meeting at your restaurant.
