She will stay in Missouri for a while. Dad deserves most of the credit for this truck. Since I moved away, about the time that we started the restoration, Dad has done most of the work! I have been able to pitch in when I travel home, but he has spent many more hours than me. For now, it will stay at home and he will get to enjoy it. One day, I will inherit it from him, as this truck has become an heirloom.
We are in the process of building a 1960 WM300 for me. For it, we are farming out a great deal of the work. We heard that the engine was finished last weekend. I think that it will be done by may or june. It will be a cool truck - omaha orange over black, XZLs on combat wheels, factory power steering and hopefully front and rear air lockers! Of course, this one won't come to MA as long as I am living in Cambridge.
Thanks,
Dan
