It's a good site over there, but those old boys run a tight ship. No shenanigans allowed.

You're right, having an old big rig would be cool, but nothing like having an old Spartan 100. As I was writing that, have you checked out Classic Truck Rescue out of Oregon? http://classictruckrescue.com/

Truth! Took me a minute to comprehend and put my witty comments aside when I first joined, but everyone was beyond courteous and extremely helpful. Its more of a professional forum which is a nice change of pace from other forums I am on where people who shouldn't be responding, do so purely to "poke the bear" and leave less-then-helpful info.

And I'll checked them out now.

I had a line on an old 60's International R185 tractor front which would have been cool, but when I checked it out in person the poor thing was done for body wise. So I hit the books again and thats when I found the spartan line, namely 59 model year, and fell in love instantly. Just something about old iron. From a time when drivers were operators, and trucks truly had class. GM needs to do away with its current trash line-up and return to the square body and stovebolt eras.

And I appreciate the welcomes all. Hoping I can both learn and contribute in the coming times here.
