Drove 24 HR straight through the worst snow storm I had ever seen to Speedway motors with a friend (in a Chevette with trailer) to pick up his T-bucket body.
If you had left already instead of posting you would only have 15 hours left to get there.

Stop in Trout Creek on your way back down and there is one sitting in a field you can pilfer parts from.

I tried buying it 18yrs ago but the guy was going to restore it....nodisbelief Its still sitting there unrestored...... I see it every time I drive past and it p*sses me off to no end  evileye

I say if you don't have a trailer, borrow/rent one and go get it stax!smile

no doubt its cool but its not a gm product, I have brand loyalty im afraid.  I saw that truck before it is cool, but a dodge.

I'm more surprised that its still there and he dropped the price . Plymouth only made trucks from 37 to 41 same idea as the Canadian fargo but never started up again after the war. Rare is a understatement. smile

The only problem with it being in Thunder Bay is its a two week drive . Just  Too many good rivers to run between here and there . The steel just outside Terrace bay is worth the drive alone.

Maybe they should paint it black with white accents that way it could double as a hurst and paddy wagon guaranteeing they both get a chance to use it.
