It did an excellent job, and in a hurry as well. As for as PROPAGATION is concerned, just as in trucking, there is as much or more of it still going on. Just a younger crowd doing it. The best I can say about that is Dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanscottbuilders Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I never knew I had so many concerned friends. It's touching.Before this absolutely meaningless forum gets any further - Allow me to put you back on track.Someone famous once said "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated". The rumors of James and I running off together are even more exaggerated!! Even if we were so inclined - I'm way too old to run anywhere. Not sure about James' running ability either.I have been a little sidetracked lately. The building business has been a little challenge, busy and time consuming. At least it's busy. And seems to be getting better, finally.We're really trying to get Gray Hamilton's B-67 finished up and ready for delivery to Florida by the end of April. (Pictures soon) It's a really nice little truck, if I do say so myself.The Fishers Truck Company is holding its' own. We have about two years of work ahead of us in the shop right now. The next projects are an H-63 Mack and a long hood Kenworth W-900-A with its' original Cummins KT-525 engine. Both trucks are sold and get full restorations with updates. (The H-63 will get a remanufactured Mack power upgrade to 300 hp and a Mack six speed transmission, Maxi brakes and new tubeless radial rubber; along with a complete disassembly, sandblasting, epoxy painting, rewiring, replumbing and detailing)I am enjoying these trucks way more than I ever enjoyed working on automobile projects. It's very relaxing to just go in the shop and go to work. No phone, no radio, no interruptions. And the people that are helping us out have been fantastic. The trucks seem to generate a great deal of interest on the part of our vendors, and everybody gets excited. It really is fun. As soon as there is some time, I will get a website with photos of the inventory and projects documented, but for now a few posts will have to do. A special thanks to Other Dog for caring enough to call. Even if he was trying to scam me with something, and got caught in the act!Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
