Very nice. Thanks for posting the pics.

I'm always hesitant to look at the pics because I know I'm going to have serious shop envy. Now that I've seen the view out of the door its just going to be worse.

I hope that ol COE doesn'e ever get away from him. It would go tearing down the drive, through the neighbors house and spashing into the lake......

again, thanks for the pics
Bobby

Yes Garry is putting it together pretty quick. That tow boom looks really good with that cab. Looking at the previous pictures I thought I might be too small. I believe it is the right size.

Have you got a patent on that power sweeper yet? L.O.L. Trucks looking good to. What kind of chassis have you got under it ? JIM

Ya Jack has to refine the operation a little as the broom got caught under a tire and he started going round and round and wrapped him up in the air hose, ha ha .

Jack is working hard to refine the power broom and I have to move everything back about 4 inches, wheel wells just don't look right so back to the drawing board.
