Looks like you got a real good find there.  Where are you in Maine?  I live in Bangor.  I have started working on an 87 4-wheel drive that use to belong to the state of Maine.  Looks like an old wardens truck.  Spent its life on dirt roads (not much rust, but lots of dirt everywhere).  Good luck with the resto, maybe if we are close enough we can get an eyeball on our rides.

I'm in Benton, just across the river from Fairfield. I may be taking the truck to cruise night at Nickey's? next Wednesday.  I believe it's somewhere near the airport, maybe Union Street? I've heard it's a good time, have you ever been to it?

nickies has always been a good cruise night and all this time I thought I was the only one from central maine

[edcole]

You will like it at Nickey's,  I have many friends and family that have vehicles in it each week.  You are correct about Nickey's being on Union Street by the airport.  I do not make it every week but I try, especially this time of year with the season about to change on us, summer is way too short in Maine!  Lotopp, where ae you located?  Maybe we can all meet up there.

Nice find on the truck, interior looks real clean. You guys anywhere near Waterville Scowhegan area? My girl friend grew up in Scowhegan. I was up there a few weeks back first time I have ever been to to that neck of the woods Maine. Been to Wells a million times Lubec a few times.

I live about 4 miles from Waterville. If you happen by the area in the next month or so, there's a great Thursday night cruise-in just off I-95 in Gardiner you should check out.

Probably be a while before I get up that way again. We went up to see her family and her 20 year class reunion. Checked out the Scowhegan state fair. Next time I get up that way I will get one of your #s ahead of time. My girlfreinds oldest daughter (13) is always astounded at how many people I know when we go places. We can be an hour form home and I almost always run into someone I know. She says geeze we can't go anywhere without you knowing someone. I always tell her " just remeber that in a few years ". When we got up there one of the first things she said is " I bet you don't know anyone up here " Beleive me I was looking at the fair. Next time I am up that way I will have to arange a meeting with one of you guys, and blow her mind.
Do you guys know the Belmont Hotel in Scowhegan? The guy that runs the place Dennis Weeks is my girlfreind's brother.
