Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group
The first time I found it, it was $2400, 2 or 3 years ago. Seller had remorse and couldn't let it go. This time it popped up on Facebook and I gave him 10 crisp $100 dollar bills. Same guy had it last 15 years. He said motor was seized up and gave me another 305 with hogshead, flywheel, double pulleys and boxes of other parts. I hauled it home and threw a battery in , poured a little gas down the carb and it fired right up. Not sure why he thought it was seized. Got my slave cylinder on today and bled and took my first short drive. Tcase isn't even overly noisy yet! My wife said she would give up one of our novas if it ever came to having to make a choice. Never thought I'd hear that! The suburban will look nice next to my 63 Chevy stepside longbox 4x4!

Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group
I would say you got a smokin' deal on that truck! Nice he finally decided it needed to go to someone that would use and appreciate it. Sounds like you have some real nice rides! Are you taking any of them to the G3 hot rod show Saturday? It's a fundraiser for B.H. Childrens Home where my wife is a teacher. I'm not much of a show guy but I told her we would take the old beater '55 GMC---weather permitting, sounds like it may be wet.

Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group
It all depends on if I have to work or not. I have some equipment that I only get on the weekends. If I can, I'll be there. That's at grubas out on West Chicago? G3 rods?

Yeah, here's the flyer. My main reason for not being a "show guy" is because it's the most productive time to get something done for us at home! Right now it sounds like a high in the 40's and rain---that's a bit warmer than today! The '55 can still go out in such weather, but don't know how much of a turnout there could be.

Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group
I won't know until Thursday whether I get the equipment this weekend or not. Thanks for sharing the flyer.
