Funny thing. I'm on my trip and just happen to look on Hemmings motor news website. Low an behold, I find the actual trans I need in Lancaster California . . . 30 miles south of my home! LOL

My son will check it out for me tomorrow.

Still gonna hit those yards!

Roadkill - hilarious stuff. She doesn't see any humor in it. I do. Kinda like some of our casting/shooting experiences. Why not try it and see what it will do? Neighbor got a 48 IH Scout to tinker with now. Along with the 5-6 others he's been working on.

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Much better scenery than down at Flagstaff. Looks the same, and as awe inspiring, as when we were there in June '11.

I'm in OKC today. Big town!

Found a '65 parts car back in Amarillo. Snagged a couple items.

Midwest probably has some decent junkyards and it is only around 20ish. miles away from OKC.
Dunkan should also have some good yards if your heading that direction, plus you can swing by the Army base and see the tanks rolling around through the chain link fence.

Daughter wanted to go to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in OKC.

Lots of old guns to see!

Yea, OKC. Darn, just about as bad as voice texting results. Sorry.
Looks like a couple near the airport in Springfield, Mo, N.W. side of town - on your route? Big one in Joplin, south 43 from I44.

This trip is turning out to be more for the daughter than junkyards and the Cartridge show.

Hit the drive through caves today. Starting the SLICS show tomorrow! Nothing more fun than digging through tubs of old ammo and such!

If you will be near the St Louis Airport Renaissance Hotel Thursday through Saturday, stop by!

Had to go to the Arch today.

Cartridge show is awesome! Picked up a couple hundred rounds of 7.65 Arg Mauser AP.

Got a bunch of Canadian made 8mm Mauser plus lots of good stuff for my collection.
