Hello from east central Alberta.
I joined this forum just the other day and figure it is about time to introduce my projects; 1953 International R130 running a 7.3 NA Navistar, 3 1952-'54 Austin A40 Somersets- one to be restored, the second to be made into a Gasser, the third for parts, 1956 International S110 to be restored, 1933 Morris 10 unsure what I'll do with yet. I'm also in the midst of replacing rear frame rails in a friend's 1968 Ford Falcon Futura 289 C4 numbers matching 4 door. My daily driver is a 1977 F250 Supercab long box with the 460/C6 combo, and my wife's toy is a 2001 Ford Explorer. Never a dull moment in my neighbourhood

Could have been a spammer, using the "first hello" as an entry and his post got deleted. Seems like we had another one like that a couple of months back, and it was something like that....Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Welcome to the forum, Bruce, and hope you don't let the initial replies bother you! For some reason no one could see anything of your first post for most of the day.
That's quite a varied collection you've got! Hope you've got a well insulated shop. I worked on a power plant out by Red Deer, AB and know how bitter the winters are for you. Our weather guys call the frigid NW winds that drop us into the single digits "an Alberta Clipper" for good reason!Roger

Bruce, All those projects are making me giddy!The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

Thank goodness I thought I was going insane. My collection showing is not quite complete as I also have a 1956 International S110 half ton.Last edited by Brucekoukalaka; 12-15-2016 at 10:06 AM.

Wiring can be a pain. My problem is I get in a groove and have a plan and then get sidelined to another project and when I come back I forget what the heck my plan was.
