  3. Newest addition to the collection 1940 FJ Mack
  4. Gary has always been nothing more than a great person to me, he is always willing to help with any question and share any knowledge he has, he personally will go out of his way to help find parts I have needed. He has had so many parts cast just for these trucks and he is nice enough let others buy them, at a reasonable cost, one I'm sure barely covers the cost of production. Sometimes people forget there is cost associated with having molds made and cast, just like there is a cost associated with his guys taking parts off to sell as well. He certainly does not need the money to do this, he does it for the same passion we all have, to see these trucks survive into another generation. He has a quiet demeanor, and perhaps that is what some people may be confusing for arrogance. I certainly don't think he is arrogant in the slightest, he is a great person! I have had conversations about trucks and in life in general with him and always a great guy! So maybe when you talk to him again look at it in a different light, as a quiet guy, not to be confused with arrogance, who is doing this not for financial gain but for all of to enjoy and to pass on. Then perhaps you will see him in a different light as myself and others have seen him!
  5. The 30 granites I just got weigh in at 27,000 with the pusher axle and body
  6. Thanks, we made paper models first to see how the cuts and bends had to be, then transformed it to metal, which was nice to see come out right since I never did that before lol
  7. Awesome yes thats great. Lmk a name and number, always great to have as many resources available!
  8. Thanks we had to learn how to make the fenders and hood since couldn't find anyone wanting to do it at first. it was about 3 months of actually time total actually working on truck. Problem was, those 3 months were split up by the paving season and waiting for the motor to come back from a machine shop in the interim, so technically took a year but rebuild. But in that time did another 27 AB (will post that too), during that time as well and a FN, which id still in Progress
  9. Had to rebuild some of the wooden front wheel spokes, New tires getting put on next
  10. No we did it a couple miles away at one of my shops, but I store all of my restored trucks at Yaworskis, Starting to fill that place up!
