Okay, going up to Coleman's again, either tomorrow or Monday. I have a short list of things that others want me to look for. If you have any specific requests for items that you know they have, or may be there in the back 40, let me know and I'll pick them up for you.

Down side is, my purchases will be going on the plastic card, so if you tell me you need something, and I get it, I will require payment soon via PayPal or something, for me to quickly pay the credit card company. Ah, life without employment, ain't it grand? No worries, I can hold for you until I see you at a show, or will pass onto the next packmule on its way to you.

For those interested in me picking stuff up there (it's in Millerstown, PA), I will be going to Jim Thorpe PA show in March, Aberdeen in May, Haspin in June, and the VA rally in September, so I can haul to you if need be.

Mike, I'm looking for a pair or two of the brackets used to tie down shelters in deuces. They slide up under the lip of the bed side and pop up into the stake pockets. Then you screw two eye bolts into them. Check the link below.

Also, I'm looking for the braces that stiffen the bed side rails for a drop side deuce. I don't have a picture so that may be be a toughie.

I'm also looking for 2 or 4 11.00R20 XLs in good shape. I don't expect you to grab those if you see them but, please give me a call if you do.

Do you still have my phone number?

Thanks

Lance

Mike,
Like Lance, I could use a couple of the brackets to tie down mu S-280 shelter in the deuce. There are other things I'd like from them, but they may or may not have, so I'll PM you a list to look for (bot not to buy, at least for now).

Well, I'm up early, but the weather forecast is calling for rain all day today, and nothing sucks more than picking through a junkyard ankle-deep in mud while a cold rain is coming down. SO, I will be going on Monday, they are calling for sunshine and a high of 35 at Coleman's that day. I'll take the cold over cold rain any day.

Which gives you all a couple more days to add to the wishlist! :-D

Well Gee, in that case, I'll take 2 of the $50 jeeps in crates and one of the P 51Ds in the crate.....

Mike, if you find the junk I'm looking for and are willing to haul it home, you could call me from Coleman's and I could pay them over the phone with a card to save you the hassle.

I'm telling ya, the Lord don't want me to go. Friday was wet, Monday schools were closed here due to snow, and today it was 5 degrees outside - WAY too cold to be pickin' parts off of junk trucks in a PA junkyard. Wednesday is same story, below freezing according to the forecast.

SO, first day I plan on going is Thursday, the 5th. It is supposed to be high 40s in central PA and sunny, so I am making that my day to head up there.

Sorry for the delay, guys.

Gee, Mike, my list gets longer the longer you wait to go.

I'm looking for the angled brace that goes on the left end of the passenger side bench seat when a deuce has a spring seat. It's the one added when the old box driver seat is removed since the left end of the passenger seat was originally bolted to the box seat.

If they've got any deuce winch parts, I'm looking for the drum lock plunger off the passenger side of the winch. I need the shaft and knob.

If you delay until next week, your gonna need a deuce to haul everything.

Thanks again.

Lance

Yes, Jeff, I got your list - will let you all know what I find there.

offroaddiesel - send your list on, I have a LONG list that a bunch of people sent.

And yes, I know how the plastic card thing goes by experience. That's why I said, I need payment ASAP after I pick this stuff up for people, even if I won't see the buyers for a while to pass off the parts. Just wanted to get that news out up front.
