Could be.... I live in Dartmouth. The old post office that you mention however is that in Head Chezz. If so my father in law lives there (Reg Daigle) and I often part there with my ATV trailer and go up into the trails on his land.

OK so I was kidding...
The last week has been sort of a clean up week. I needed to put all the tools away, clean the garage, get rid of the junk from the tear down.
Jan cam and got the axles and leafs. I'm on my way to SNF now. There is a dude coming for the engine/trans Saturday and Saturday I am taking the cab to a friend of mine who does body/paint...figure I should let an expert work on the body. Wow with all the room in the shop I can start prepping my axles and getting the IFS stuff cut off the frame.
And I dont know what happened to the three people who said they were comming to get the box from this truck...never heard from them....at least it is outside out of my way.
Don't worry the updates will be coming soon. The Jeep was for my son at xmas....hope he likes it. It has zero flex....I was sort of disappointed.

Well I'm off today since my client is American...its been a 5 day weekend for me. Kids are in school. Had to put the snow tires on the Van as my wife is heading away with the kids to Cape Breton this weekend. After that I took two loads of metal...frame and cab to SNF. Sweet beer money for the weekend Its amazing what you can cram into a Saturn vue.

Big day here. Engine and Transmission sold and picked up, also sold an intercooler from my 300zx...so a little funds back Got the cab on my friend Rod's trailer and out to Wayne the magical body man to start fixing the floor and getting the cab read to paint. After all that fun I set the frame up on blocks and starting hacking off the IFS stuff...figure two dozen saw blades and a few packs grinder wheels and I should have it done...and about 8 more hours Snapped some photo's of a few things for fun... First the cab cleaned out and ready to go to Wayne's. Wow look some shop floor....that wont last long Here is my early 80's 2WD 1 Ton Toyota frame. And some of the fun with the saw...
