I was bitten by the PW bug back in 1971 when I got a summer job when in high school spraying mosquitoes for the Town of Bloomfield, CT. They had a 1/2ton closed cab WC with a flatbed and tank and reel. I drive that truck for 2 summers all over the back woods killing bugs. Loved that job. I used to see 1 ton PWs behind a chain link fence tat belonged to a long gone power line service co. called T.D. Bros. They were a nice dark blue. I knew someday I would find me one of those trucks. Fast forward to 1992, in Bucks Co, PA just before I got married I found a B4 PW in NJ and it was a bondo queen little did I know. Over the years I have replaced fenders,wood, etc. including replacing the original 230 for a 251 and swapped out the 3rd member gears fro 4.89s. I picked up a WC 12 back in 1999 and now working on it. Hope to see her on the road next year.
