1978 Ward LaFrance Patriot P-8D

[GA_Dave]

Thanks, everyone! I've waited a long time for this, but this truck seemed to be the right one, so I plan to do it right. It will take time and money, but the idea is to make it look like it did when the Air Force got it in 1978. Before I even begin that part of the project, I need to make it mechanically sound and that may take a bit of time and money. The electrical system is a mess and the 4 wheel drive is disconnected, so those things need to be addressed first. I haven't even gotten it home yet, so please be patient. I plan to keep you all informed through this forum as to the progress I make. At this point, I'm not making any plans to attend anything with it, it's just too early to know. And if anyone wants to stop by and get their hands dirty, you are always welcome!
