Holy poo poo I just caught up after dropping out on Page 2 (I was encouraging back then!). Daaaaang. So...Got a line on the tanker truck yet, and have you purchased the strip mall to rebuild from the fire? At this point I wouldn't put it past you to restore one of the cows. There might be a bit of rot but I bet a competent butcher could get you reproduction parts. Did you ever get the rear axle gearing figured out? IIRC, the 14 bolt rear out of a chassis-cab van was over 70" wide. However, it looks like your rear is offset significantly so that's probably not an option. Ooh, I just had a thought: restore the truck that hauled the tanker and use it to tow the Divco and '53 to faraway shows on a flatbed.

They make dollies that bolt to the wheel lugs. That would work, too. I'm getting my Leaf's tiny factory tires put on a spare set of wheels for rolling my FJ40 in and out of my 7' shop door. That's another option. Also, do the Autocar. Doooooo iiiiiiitttt. Maybe just restore the cab and make a Dairy Truck Simulator?
