Hey Kathy - everyone who is anyone:D Especially you 45 owners:cool:

Andy

sheeeshhhh... I am so torn!

I do know there will be more than a few PMC folks with their 45s... but I'm slated for some local family type camping that weekend now that we had to cancel McGrew due to the fires.

dam#ed if I do, dam#ed if I don't.

Georg... do you want me to send the seat??

irregardless of what I do, you folks have a great time up there... its certainly is a beautiful area.

Take care...

Some of us are going to run the Deer Valley Trail when we leave Lake Alpine. It goes from Highway 4 north to Highway 88. It's a mild trail, but it's some beautiful country.
Anybody else wanna go along ?

Bill, Kathy ? I know you guys would be up for it !

I know Krusty is going.

Here's a link compliments of Gary Bjork of the TLCA

hey kathy, you gonna wheel it?

Weenie trail i can do. I want to keep any body damage to a minimum.;) :crybaby:

hey tony! bring that 45 and forget the "other camping trip". you were already slated to go wheelin that weekend so you might as well join us.
if you can't make it, could you have the taylors bring the seat down? thanks, georg

tony, just turn it into a camping AND wheeling trip. Im bringin the wife and kids and the trail is minutes from the campground.

Still planning on coming . will bring the 45 truck for sure and maybe the wagon George is there any place to park a tow rig?
It is a long drive for us and if one brakes down I would like to get it home
PMC

tow rigs no prob, plenty of parking area

5 more days :D

I'm loaded and ready to roll.......course I'm always loaded, so what's new ! :D

you guys are a bad influence... I'll see you there!!

I'll be driving up Saturday morning, you can't miss me... CalTrans orange 45 in the fast lane doing 70 MPH! Woo Hoo!

'Honest officer, this truck can't go 70!'

I might try to hook up with you folks there in Stockton but if not...

take care, see you there...

Hey Georg - what's the official CH channel? Might help folks hook-up. Andy

PS: Tony - I think I'm gonna hit the road early Sat AM - I dont want to fight the Friday PM commute traffic into the Valley. Maybe we can hook-up someplace near Stockton?

Krusty...

top of the Altamont Pass... takes me exactly 2 hours.

Say... 8:30?

Sounds like you will be driving down 680 through Danville at 8.00am? How about me tagging along with you from there? We can always meet up with others on the Altamont. Thanks.

actually, 580 is the quickest for me and thus, the preferred route.

Altamont it is, then - no problemo!

Andy, give me a call on your cell when you know your ETA / Angels Camp. Maybe I can arrange to meet you guys there. I'd like to tag along.

Did anyone decide on a CB channel ? I've got one of those old 23 channel units. :p

I would say Ch45! But that wont work. Then again, it's the 31st, but that wont work for you. How about CH5? Yes, I can phone you when I have our ETA for Angels Camp - are you heading in Sat Morning? I thought you couldnt get away til Sat evening? Andy

It sounds like too much fun, so I'm going to try to get away early.

Besides if I don't go you guys won't experience the thrill of making unusual trail repairs on the highway :D

FJ 40, narrowed with trailer will be there,{split pea}

....Now if I can just find a seat and steering wheel:laughing: :laughing:

Jack, um, just take them out of the Dodge tow rig when you get here;)

Jack that thing looks cool !

What's the tire size ?

42" TSLs:D

damn if only it was another week away...:( i just brought the 45 home from storage and took out the old F to put in the newer one (thanks GLO) w/ the sm420/cruiser case, welded rear, spring over, 36's, scout steering, and flatbed...

(those are the plans at least,,,the soa and engine swap and rear locker should be done this weekend) i'll try to post pics when i get it done,,,have fun guys we gotta do it again so i can go!! :D


which reminds me,,anyone that knows the whereabouts of a mini truck front end, or has one their not using, please let me know asap..thanks

jack: truggy needs to come out and play! so quit slackin and get it on the road! looks great; hope to see it at the run next year!;)

peter: bring the 40! the 45 can join the run next year, looks like we'll be doing it again!!!!!:D

I'll be there but will not be able to leave the central coast area until sat am.

OOPS!! I broke my 45 today:( . Lost/ threw (whatever its called) a rod after droping off kids at school. Hopefully Bill can fix it by Sat. AM.

well it's not a rod

we told you not to hot rod that thing :D

is it the crank or a bearing. cant tell by the pic.

who sold you that pos anyways :D

Kathy drove it.

the pic is a litlle fuzzy, it's the crank.

here's a better shot

so how many people have broken a crank in an F motor??

The crank on an "F" motor is one of the biggest, baddest cranks on the planet !

How the hell does one of those break ?

I guess the 45 won't be on the run this weekend...

ONE MORE DAY......Little more grocery shopping, load the rigs tonight and Im ready to go...

BILL , WELD IT !!!!!!!

WILL BE AT YOUR PLACE SAT AT 7;45 oooookkkkkkk ! 55GUY OUT

thats the best we got. George should come through with some wheelin pic's

how i wish i could have been there and had my pos in that group picture..:( hey bkcruiser,,you need a new crank? you can have my running '65 F, tranny and tcase if you want, i need to get it out of the driveway (my parents are tired of it sitting there)..
the bright side to this weekend though was that i got the 45 sprung over w/ all cleanedup and freshly painted springs :cool: on top of the front dana 44 and stock rear, oh and on 36's...

for all you guys who could not or did not join us: you now have 1 year minus 3 days to get your rigs ready, cause we'll be doing it again next year!:D

PS: once again, thanks everybody for coming up and for helping us out. this was my fisrt attempt at setting up an event and all your help is much appreciated!!!!!!!!;)

Georg:

Good job, man!:cool: That was an awesome event. The camping was perfect, and to pull together one of the biggest groups of 45's in N. America was clearly outstanding (notwithstanding the collection in Rickd's backyard;) ) See ya there next year. Andy

Bill Are ya gonna keep the hand throttle?:D

Can I have the old cracked crank ?

I need a new mail box stand :rolleyes: :eek: :D

AWESOME pictures! I am green with envy!

of course I'm keeping the hand throttle, can't drive without Cruiser Control!! plus it's like having four wheel drive instead of an extra drive shaft to drive home on you have and extra throttle control.

Reddog (bluedog), the shaft is yours, I'll bring up soon.

so henry, are we still going to make TT?:confused:
