[Ducks]

tired of pics yet?

Nope. Most excellent find. Nice to hear there are still gems out there.

It's great to find a gem like that. I love those vintage pics. Nice tribute too...

 

[SLOwag]

That is fantastic, I love those old photos. In my opinion, you are the caretaker of this rig until it goes to the next generation.....I wish I were so lucky.

I had talked to Mike about 10 times about that 45LV.

He was supposed to give me a ring if he ever decided to sell it...

He passed away pretty quickly. His son sold it for his mother. I'm trying to recall where they lived. Do you know where?

Kinda SE Section of las Vegas.

I met him back in 98 while we were doing a water well inventory here in Vegas.

I just looked up my paperwork. They had lived in Logandale NV since 85 and that is where I had the shipping company pick it up.

[greenfox]

I will see what I can do

 

[Mace]

That is amazing,
The 45 I was talking about looked IDENTICAL to that (8 track and all) and was not owned by mike, but by Milton...

And, his property was sold a couple of years ago as well.

Nice truck!!
Now, to go track down his Wife Esther

Bull Wow, Very Nice Great History , and in my back yard too ! ;p

 

[PScottBx]

Wow... the story and pics are as great as the rig itself. Maybe think about sending the son and mother the pics when completed... know they'd love it.

Thanks guys! Not your typical rig of the week...


Sadly the wife passed away last month. I have kept in contact with the son and will send him updates when they happen. He said he is going to go through more paperwork and photo albums! Hopefully I will get some more vintage pics

 

[projektdotnet]

Wow and I thought my Dad's old cruiser had history. I don't think I could have sold a rig like that Nice score

Awesome find. Could you post a more detailed pic of the winch and the controls. Found the same, but no parts available anymore. Need some more Info on the controls and cables!

I will take some more pics for you Adolf. Also I will be most likely removing that winch so the controls will be up for grabs.
