Patrick,Where are you coming from and where are you going? We have an excellent private shop in the Mpls/St Paul area: C&J Bus. The owner JD is very helpful and knowledgeable and been in the bus biz for a long time. Craig Shepard, Brian Diehl and I all have used him in the past and I buy most my parts from him. He is kind of biased toward MCI but still fairly objective. Regarding truck grave yards there is a pretty good one up in Rogers which is on the NW side of the Mpls/St Paul area - Glens Truck Repair and Salvage. Call me if you want 612-801-4826.Fred

Have yet to make it and meet him, but I will soon! I am planning on coming up in the very near future and picking up all of Paul's leftovers! BK SOON Paul, SOON! I am going to come by myself if I can't get dad to set a date to come with me! I want to make it before the end of the month!
Bryce, I'm only an hour north of Paul, so let me know when you are planning on coming up as I would love to meet you! If you had time I would love to show off my powertrain swap as well.-Brian
I want to meet Bryce too, but I'll be busy the rest of this month. Maybe Bryce won't make it this month so there is only this week and next left.
I still have the broken extension cord somewhere from leaving it plugged in while pulling out of BK's garage. Is that proof enough of having been there?
