Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Looks like your enjoying the trip.
Since you enjoy "boot fairs" so much (we call them flea markets here), you need to look into planning a trip through Canton, TX on a weekend before the first Monday of the month. There is a huge flea market in Canton call First Monday Trade Days every month of the year, both indoor and outdoor booths with just about everything for sale. Plenty of food vendors too! https://www.firstmondaycanton.com/#!

Limited time etc. Message from Kansas. Hello Rian. I won't be around on Saturday but I will be here in Friday. The International truck has sold but I do still have the Willys, 35 Ford tanker, 42 Cadillac hearse, 48 Fleetmaster sedan, two old Chevrolet 3800 trucks, the 54 Chevrolet milk truck, a rough 49 Plymouth 2 door sedan and a rough 58 Ford 2 door sedan. I also have a 38 Chevrolet half ton pickup project stored in another town if you'd be interested in it. If you feel that the cars are worth your time to come and look at Friday that would be fine with me. My address is 1467 Jerkins Rd. Kristina Kansas 66077. My number is 785-220-4432 My old neighbor has a couple of old cars that have been in his barn since the 70s that might interest you. A 1950 Ford 2 door sedan and a hot rod 1931 Chevrolet he built as a teenager in the late 1950s. Looks like we are headed for Kansas.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Real time (almost) update.
05.00 Jonesboro Arkansas Met up with Purple Heart Steve at his home and shop yesterday when we got into town. Shop tour then off to find a motel for the night. Invited him to join us for a steak (NO DRINKS AS ITS A DRY COUNTY) but at Coltons you can order alcohol if you show ID and join their club. I had a rum and coke, Steve opted for a tall glass of Chardonay. After dinner we headed back to the motel, only to be confronted by this....... My first ever DONK !!!!!!!! And it was a Hemi. Super nice owner and his girl. Loved the car for just how crazy it is in real life. Selfie time as dinner did not produce one. Certainly a highlight for us. Would I drive one, own one?? Hell no. But lovely people all the same. Thank goodness for brave people pushing envelopes. Off too breakfast at 08.00 then George Poteets place near Memphis at 09.00 Later.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Real time bookmark.
Headed out of Jonesboro Arkansas this morning near 11.00 heading back to St Louis, well, 40 miles beyond St Louis back to Dennis’ place, I took this pic. It’s his BIRTHDAY tomorrow, and we certainly wanted to be here, so it would be a long slow drag through, with stops where and whenever we wanted. I was driving as Craig got hit late last night by a Migraine that had not shifted, and still has not shifted. Front of the Dually was a field of dead bugs.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Thank you from him. Another quick “real time” update. I am behind, but between Dennis’ birthday, Mexican restaurants, Margaritas and mayhem, my time and energy for updates are limited. It’s Thursday and our last day out, tomorrow we head to the airport at 10.00am and then fly out home. I DO LOVE AMERICA... !!!! My favourite shop is Rural King, browsing comes with a bag of free fresh popcorn The car park is always interesting Clothing I love the advertising in their public toilets. And speaking of rough riders...... Off to Hannibal and then via Ethyls to see if Kelly is in....... She is rather addictive.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
.
Back home Got in yesterday morning Sally very pleased to see me, sweet woman had done my laundry, made me a fresh bed and got me milk and bread, all unprompted, she also made us kebabs and salads for dinner, quite a shock, all the healthy food. Slept 90 minutes on couch middle of the day. Then 9.30 to 07.00 and again 08.30 to 11.00 Harley has not left my side of bed since I got home Now trying to do some catch up loading of pics and writing. But head like a zombie.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
1987 GMC Caballero aka El Camino.
We have used it two years running on the road trip for general hooning, fetching and taking duties. Freshly Safety tested two weeks ago. Collection Wentzville, Missouri With canopy/Camper top. V8 Auto, electrical everything, new steel wheels and tyres/tires. And a walk around video clip I made a year ago. Got it wrong, Dennis is third owner. https://youtu.be/fySkqqMiG_c PM me for more details please

That is a love.y car, Inhave driven it a fair amount, over the last two years, but it is too nice for me, weird I know. In the mean time, from the 2019 road trip report. A couple of George Poteets C10’s The man certainly has some lovely toys. What a privilege to be invited to the car farm a second time around.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
End of the road trip coming up,fast.
We headed to O’Fallon via two more Walmart’s, trying to find some more of the Chevy truck models for Craig. No luck there..... However, he saw a model that I can only reveal in Or toward end November, which I promptly scooped and bought to bring home. Racing against time a bit, to get to Dennis’ workshop, we made it there at 4.27pm for our 4.30 shop tour and departure to the trade show.. That’s a mailbox. Craig laid instant clam to this little guy, who knows what the future holds there. Now those that read stuff, rather than just looking at pics....... Take close notice. Not much notice here. But once inside through that little hole in the wall....... Cheap beers, and good company abounds. Great company. Friends. And..... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . DrummRollllllll....... Meet Mo !! Serves the coldest beer you could want to find. And snacks. And if, like me, you are special enough....... She will serve you your own little plate of snacks. What a girl. Loved her Cardinals After a few beers, Dennis bought everyone a round, tipped Mo and we left in his truck. Headed to the lodge he is a member of, and where Adam and Hanna are getting married. We were in early. Free bar. Once again, the food was excellent and I had to force myself not to go fetch more. Once the raffles were drawn, we headed back to Dennis’ shop to collect the challenger, Imwas driving while Craig operated Waze and found two more Walmart’s. We also saw this grain truck, soooooo tempting and in great condition Craig as you know is negotiating a COE in Oklahoma, and saw this model, of course it had to go home. Got home after 8.30pm and created piles in the spare room, we were being taken to the airport at 10.00 am by Debbie. Eventually bed time, late in the night with some good byes to Adam, Hanna, Tyler, What a blast this trip had been. Next stop St Louis Airport I guess.
