Gotta love that road salt...no wonder the vans last so much longer out there than in snow country!
You should bring one of those pizzas back for Chebby...maybe she gets royalties for every box sold...

Seems like they have mechanical work for you every time you visit! I think it’s their way of telling you how much they miss you! Nice to have a mechanic in the family...plus this work seems to be part of your DNA!

truck-in was spring fever hosted by
vantasia vans out of Kansas City, most
of their club is on the Kansas side.
truck-in was in Bevier Mo, about an hour
west of Hannibal Mo.
