Re: Oh, wish I was 20 years younger
 

Quite a few years ago a friend of mine rebuilt one like this and put a tilt bed in place of the dump box. He had a drag car and the COE was his hauler. It was a real eye catcher. I drove an old "binder" (you're pretty old if you know what that is) COE beer truck one year and loved driving it.

I hope whoever got it appreciates it for the nice survivor that it is. Not sitting an inch off the ground on an airbagged chassis.

I too wish I was twenty years younger. I figure the odds of that becoming a reality are very similar to the odds of me becoming twenty years older.

I have a friend that is not hoping to be 100, he is planning on it! He has the healthiest diet that I have seen. Drinks his 4 Old Milwaukee beers daily too.

While you are wishing, Go for seventy years.
A little Dupli-color, a can of Simonize a li'l Pine Tree and New tires.
Good to go

I had one about 20 years ago, It was in much better shape than this one, even the interior. I used it some as everything worked well. Stood it on its tail a couple of times when the load did not come out of the box soon enough!

A "binder" is an International vehicle as in "corn binder" if I recollect!

You win the prize Pech. A common name for International trucks in the Midwest anyway.

I'm probably somewhere around 20 years younger... we are struggling. And most of us dont have the kind of space for a COE.

I wish I was 20 years younger as well, but 20 years ago I had more projects than time… same today… so I guess I need to live 20 years longer!!! Problem is, I don’t have the time or the money for the projects I have now, so I just gotta face the fact that someone else will one day be having my fun! Guess that’s just who we are!
