Snow in Manitoba
Rob
Neil drove the truck out of the shed and you know where he usually is. You also know where he has been for the last 10 days. Still think it is a fraud? Gord and Neil P.S. Enjoy the Christmas like conditions and all the best of the Season to you and yours.

You are spoiling him with that sub-tropic environment. He will not want to return to Manitoba at the end of the Christmas break. He has to come back: there is a Dingo on the hoist waiting for him to finish. The smile on his face in the video makes him look like a kid at Christmas. Merry Christmas back at yourself and Niel.

Been a while!
Not much happened in the shop this winter and I needed to get started on a cargo box. The truck that I got had nothing on the frame and nothing of any kind of box present. So, I started from scratch and Johnathan B let me go and measure up David Moore's former truck cargo box. As an opening to Rob Love to wind me up, Jonathan's truck is a Ford.
Here are a few pictures of the progress so far.

metal forming
Alex
Last year Colin Jones showed how he formed up some gas tanks for his carrier. From seeing how he did the work I copied his ideas with the minimal resources I had to work with, marvellous what you can do with a hydraulic jack and a tractor. Here are two pictures of how I formed the tank body. From that experience I bought a shop press and made dies to do 90 degree bends. The cargo box sides, the front and floor of the box where formed by a metal working shop near me. With the press brake I can bend up to 32 inch widths and that will do the stowage boxes and small bits that need shaping. In answer to Bob's question, I have used 14 gauge metal for the construction of the box. That is what is listed in the design records pictures I have seen published in the Bill Gregg books.
