Thanks for the information David. I think I love the research as much as the the whole chase, doing the deal and getting the babies back into a safe home.I was only thinking the other day that at least 5 of my trucks have come from farmers that bought trucks straight after the war and used them carefully and wanted the trucks to go to someone who would look after them.I still had to pay for all of them and quite a bit for 2 of them.This sort of ties in with Keiths handing it down thread and I feel it is a big responseability keeping safe ,trucks that have served our countries in war and peace.I seem to have got off track there, but seeing the looks on the farmers faces when they see the way their old trucks are tucked up in my shed or in a parade or at a reunion makes me happy.All of the farmers have gone to great lengths to make sure I have every part they have ever taken off the truck and they have all given me photo's and the history of where and when and how they got what to some of them was their first car.
Cheers Ken
