We are all busy guarding our property from our elected officials, at least those who haven't gone to prison...yet. Like that Blagowhateverovitch.

I do see your point Junior, this thread is a few months old and is barely 3 pages long. Might say we're kinda "loosely" organized.

Cool doin's comin' up:

Aug 2 - Vintage Transportation Extraviganza at the Illinois Railway Museum (BIG Diesels), in Union IL, (midway between Chicago & Rockford) usually a great time weather pending, I'm pretty sure this is a pre-register show, but maybe not. Also the Windy City Chapter of the National Truck Historical Society meets there on the same day, members bring out some cool stuff to this event, vintage milk trucks, beer deliveries, fire protection equip, big rigs, etc. It's a really good time plus all the grounds are filled with antique cars & trucks and cool old trains to ride.

Aug 13-16 - Sycamore Steam Show, another family friendly event, Great food, Flea market, Parade daily, Live music, 100s of Gas Tractors, Hit & Misses, and of coarse, Steam Powered - Threshing, Sawmill, H.P. Dyno, & more, in years past there's been a section for antique cars and trucks.

Have a good one! (or two...)
Just giving this post a bump.
Good ideas for a get together!

See you there??
Hopefully,
Murph.

Hey there Illinois,

Man, is it nice outside, and I think I took my fishing pole out of my truck, otherwise I'd be sneaking a long lunch instead of taking sh-- from my co-worker about being a truck geek...

P.S. How do I add the footer on my posts with out typing it each time?

At the top of the page where you see "Welcome, Truckster17",
click on the box just to the left of that. Then look for "edit signature".... GEEK!

To hell with the manifold, I'm really sorry I can't help. I wish the best for you, Charlie.
Good luck recovering.
