New guy from Alberta - '53 R110
Hello!
New guy here from Alberta. Name's Austin "AJ" (hence the username). I picked up myself a '53 R110 last fall. Overall it's in excellent shape, runs, drives, insured and registered. It has a laundry list of work and new parts that were put in back in 2002. Haven't done much other than address some tune up items to get it running better. From what I can tell the odometer is true based on the condition of the truck, reading only 7900 miles. It was originally a Sask truck, PO brought it over in 1998. For now I'd like to replace the ignition stuff, chop off the hideous rear bumper and get a new set of wheels/tires for it. Thinking something like Jackman style wheels.
I've also got a couple trucks my grandfather had, a R120 that's pretty much rotted right out but has some usable parts and some sheet metal, I had it running 8 years ago. And an R160 with a blown motor (sleeve let go and carnage happened). The R160 I'd like to get running as well some day. Swap a 264 into the R110 and put the 220 into the R160, kinda backwards logic.
