AS LONG as today goes according to plan we will be!
Que ozzy Osborne's "Momma I'm coming home" due to the unbeliveable generosity of Doug, he has donated this parts truck to the TONKA project...

I believe that today went exceptionally well!

Though I am not sure all the bees are very happy. Do not believe they were looking to move to NH.

I cannot speak for Dave but for me, a truck, trailer and a classic Bronco always makes for a good day.

...Oh and a couple of friends.

Nice donor. Some pretty good artwork on the passenger side too. ;)
Save me a tire if you end up getting something better than those rollers. Need me a spare. Those 33 or 35 BFGs?

well...an hour and half later the body is off. These are from a "progress" standpoint but it is off. Frame looks good but will assess better in the daylight. Nothing but a pair of tin snips and some Sasquatch anger strength. My neighbor actually poked his head through the woods to see what the hell was going on. he didn't come anywhere near me as he had no Jack Link's handy and DID NOT want to mess with me....:mad:

"Sasquatch anger strength"... wow, I just spit my breakfast all over my desk.. :) I have never seen rockers and the bottom of the door that chewed up.. Did you even have to undo a bolt to get the body off the frame on this one??
