That bed is ready for a load of gravel for sure.

Definitely some dead animals.

So, now what do you do with such a fine specimen?? Dealership show room, or museum?? You certainly are not going to load some tilda bogue nonsense!!!

Good question. I am building a barn now that I will keep it in. The problem is that when I designed said barn I had planned to sell this truck. Also, I acquired that 1972 FST after that point so I now have two more trucks than I have room for inside. I need to get rid of 1….maybe 2….and I will be at an acceptable level. I think I have changed my mind about selling this one though. It will look great sitting outside the arcade.

That is a handsome rig.

The a$$ end of that thing is

Wait until you see the arcade…..

 

[Catching Neutral]

And when is the barn warming party?

Better have Asteroids and Centipede

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

And Donkey Kong

 

[jomelo]

And Donkey Kong

Definitely have Donkey Kong. I’m more of a Nintendo era guy than Atari so no Centipede or Asteroids. I do have a crazy rare Tempest cocktail arcade that I purchased from the original owner. Very very few ever made.

Honestly my arcade collection is more impressive than my Land Cruiser collection.

[jomelo]

Frogger ?

Frogger ?

Nah. Most of my arcade stuff is either Bally or Nintendo. The majority is pinball machines. Mainly newer Stern stuff.
