I appreciate the acknowledgement. That research is one aspect of my Kempner POWER WAGON Museum. The information came from one of the Museum's nearly $2000 worth of reference books.
The trucks are the least costly part of this hobby. You need to have a hauling trailer, a trailer towing truck, a shop, tools, reference books, and many parts trucks.
But the BIG MONEY comes when you start buying coffee cups, belt buckles, hats and jackets for each model POWER WAGON you have. Then you spend even more for "tee" shirts to commemorate each of the events you attend.
Off Topic: Congratulations on Ohio's Fiftieth Year of Statehood. People who are not good students of history think it's 200 years. I lived there (Springfield) when the big contraversy first arose.
