Truck Hunt II (w/pictures of trucks)

By 66 Underachiever
Our first trip up the coast was a bust.

This POS needed it's body replaced. All of it. We ran out of time and had to go home empty handed.
This is a bonus shot of about the coolest shop in the world. It's in Cayucos. If you shot out the back fast enough, with a little ramp, you'd end up in the ocean.

The Pomona Swap Meet was Sunday so we checked it out. There was lots of stuff there. 
This one looked pretty cool and it came with the trailer. I guess we could load crap in the bed and pull it behind Bondorella.

"Period Correct" modification. I guess even hobos had money in the '60s.

This one would've been OK if the guy hadn't hired a drunk high school kid to build it.

I went back to San Luis Obispo County again and tried a new Craigslist app.
Craigslist in Bru Coffee House in Atascadero.

Craigslist app malfunction or user error. Who cares?

It's not a Stepside or Panel but I couldn't resist. Merry Christmas to me!

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings. Rising Sun hand crafts denim and work wear on antique sewing machines using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the

Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee
