Me and my dad started to restoreing a Studebaker car and its more than half done but he got hard to work with so i havent touched it for a while. I hope to work on it some this winter or win the lottery and buy it from him and scrap it. I had all the parts layed out on tables and one day he piled every thing on one table. I lost all interest in it that day.

Well it IS a '57 Stude, running and driven as well utilized, in no way for sale at any reasonable price as is a Gentleman's baby. Spoke to the garage near where it sits, they were going to be working on it again this week.

Here is one that a friend from B.C. is putting on a 4wd 93 Dodge chassis with a Cummins in it. The cab was shot on the Dodge and the frame was shot on the K series. It should be pretty cool when it is finished.

Got a pic from the front of this one today. Yup a White. Looks like some sort of air springs on the sides of the radiator.

My friend Len bought his dad's old 630 GMC , when his dad had it it was a straight logging truck, the self loading trail conversion is not how most were carried on back of trucks.
then sold it and new owned used a trailer to log his own land .

The fire truck was a V-190 and is kept in running condition for grass fires. The dump truck runs when needed, the plow is for clearing a long drive way and roads to feed cattle in winter.
