Re: What in Tarnation?
Thanks Pete! And I realized that I got the name of the original owner wrong. It said Rimrock Ranch on the title. It is near Mt Lassen in Northern California. It still has some service records on the door jamb from the 60s in that area.

Re: What in Tarnation?
I searched a while to find that old photo this morning. Funny there is a 46-47 ford woodie at the gas pump. Looks like you can get a cabin for the night for 49 bucks, according to what I found on the internet.

Re: What in Tarnation?
There are several Rimrock Ranch venues in California. Here's the one at Pioneertown, CA near Joshua Tree National Park > https://www.facebook.com/RimrockRanchPioneertown/

Re: What in Tarnation?
I don't think there is any affiliation, but???? And a red jailbar. Maybe I have his title? No mine is a 79 Y iirc, and definately in Old Station.

Re: What in Tarnation?
I ran across these on Ebay. I figured they were appropriate and they turned to be quite well made.

Re: What in Tarnation?
Thanks Mark... Ya, I like that picture too. Sometimes I just get a good one.Somehow it's night time, yet the sky is blue and I am sort of partial to cab clearance lights on the bigger trucks. Yankee 77s on that '40. That kid, youngest of four is 28 now and works for an excavation company here on the island. I'm still busy in the wood shop working alone and enjoying it at least enough to pay the bills. I have been working on this tonner a lot in the past week as I am changing out the headache rack and other work pertaining to the bed. I plan on driving it up to Lynden Wa for the tractor/gas engine/steam show on Aug 2-5 and am needing things set up differently. I'm keeping the US Navy bomb hoist on the rear bumper along with the 80 lb Athol vice on the opposite side for proper balance. I have taken some pics and think I will post a thread with some of this latest flurry of manic activity. Fortunately we have had a very moderate summer here in all regards. In the islands a normal day has been clear and 75 and maybe six weeks without rain. Awful hard to keep me inside that ol woodshop when this project is parked 30 feet away! Stay tuned

Re: What in Tarnation?
Yeah, that is a great picture, especially for a dad. Looking forward to some pics of the Lynden show. Not much rain here on the plaines either, haven't mowed since late may. should be every other week! Carry on GB, look forward to the show pics

Re: What in Tarnation?
GB,
In case you feel the need to add another big truck jail bar to the stable. More than a short ferry ride away but the grille looks straight and the body as well.

Re: What in Tarnation?
It certainly is all of that! A very excellent example of a jailbar truck. I'm actually sorta maxed out on trucks right now in case none of you noticed. And Pete you are a prince of a guy to be resizing all these photos for me and a lot of guys!
