bet It would fetch more than the $11,223 mfg price, wadda ya think?

It sold yesterday, supposedly to a museum. I’ve be shocked if it went for less than 80k.

Alone heres another one for you

This is right after it got off transport and we were getting them all running. My boss acquired about 8 of these immaculate old Chevy and GMC trucks that were in an old man’s collection, old man bought them all brand new. He had some as drivers, I think the highest mileage one has 50k.

Dude, STOP! Are you trying to break my heart or just bankrupt me?


Y'all have already been introduced to big "Max" and big "Rico"...





The big guy you haven't met is big "Bubba"... (*My '92 1st Gen Cummins W350 C&C, with 51K original miles)

In typical Cummins fashion, Bubba likes to pull heavy sh*t...

I have always wanted a Gen 1 Dodge with a stick/12V. I had a Gen 2 12V but definitely didn’t look as good.

Excellent collection though, you never see those trucks.

Bubba has a "Full House", with all the goodies...virgin VE injection pump, Getrag 360 5-speed "row your own" manual, Dana 60 front axle, NP-205 cast iron transfer case, and Dana 70HD rear axle.

Man, he's a piece of "living history".

That’s it! That is the perfect combination! The pinnacle of a Gen 1 Dodge IMO.

Sir, I take umbrage at your statement. Meet me at the Sand Bar.




(We'll down a few and talk about knives.)

Art Knife Invitational is taking place this weekend in Vegas. I suspect there will be a few more Bowies than Kepharts...

Coincidentally this morning I'm poring over a WIP from the great John White, trying to execute a frame handle in dog bone style.

Good thing I finished my coffee before I saw that! My wife and I are both cracking up. Skyler wants to know why we're disturbing her nap.

(I'm saving that one. Thanks.)

While we’re on the topic sort of…I bought a new shirt because I’m really like 13 at heart.

Good morning!

Holy shit! Look at this picture I just found of me and Jo back when we were kids.

"Hello? it's the '90s calling!"

Got my knives 2023 in the mail yesterday. The swords section starts with the K18 from Nathan and Chip. Nothing of mine in there this year, but the Del Raso persian is in a display case on my desk.
