Hi guys!
Thanks for your advice. First of all, i`m thinking of a truck- not yet 100% serious. I still need to finish the jeep off for Back to the Track, and since i only found these trucks a few weeks ago i thought i`d go look at them just out of curiosity. I had thought roughly how much time and money i would need to get each truck going, and i still came back to this ford- but not now at that price!
Bob- thats exactly what i was thinking- for that kind of money, i can get a nice example, restored, ready to go! $5000 is why its still there i`d say! I`ll keep looking around for a truck- i wouldnt say its at the top of my list at the moment, but its getting there!
Gordon- thats a good idea, i`ll see how i go with the bloke- and indeed i should be able to save more money as i go along- well its a good plan in theory!
Hanno, i was going to go back and see if he`ll let me take some pictures of it anyway- i was quite taken with the truck and crane, and especially because of the plate on the crane.
Cheers all, and you can guarantee i`ll ask more questions like this as i go along!
Thanks again,
Ian.
