Trying to find a less expensive way to go home for thanksgiving. Leaving minot on the 21 and arriving back on the 25. Otherwise I'll have those days off to work on the truck, haha.
 
HAHA - I posted the original post back on November 7, 2012. I've already made the trip. And drove home, to Indiana, in March, haha.

Just noticed you're near clifton, IL - do you know of a auto junk/salvage yard north or, I'm thinking, south of you on 57. It'd be on the west side of the highway and south of an overpass. There were some vehicles that always caught my eye when I was working out of Frankfort, but having to drive to Bloomington, IL. Just never stopped to see what was there, or if it was a business or just someone's private collection.
 
Wow! I've heard "over by the old burned tree" and "bout a a few miles from the ditch" but that is the first land marker involving the klan! I'm guessing not a diverse group of customers in that parts store.

That is a junk yard. Usually reasonably priced Thompson Auto Wreckers. (815) 697-2223. 5049 S 1400w Rd, Chebanse, IL 60922. Cross Streets: Near the intersection of S 1400W Rd and Otto Rd. . There is another you pull it a little north and west of there as well. Half off on Wednesdays KAR http://www.kankakeeauto.com/
 
I know you dont need it now, but have you ever looked into Amtrak? I am curious as to the level of awesome a train ride would be.

I had when I was looking, and also before I flew home for Christmas, but the train ride would've taken 2-4 days and cost me $100+. Cheaper than the truck, but not nearly quicker.
 
Looking for a scrap GM engine block to use as a template to weld a 4L80E transmission. Must have the top center hole. Most any newer block will work. From a 6.2 diesel to a small block. As long as it has the top center hole for the transmission
Near L'Erable, Illinois South of Kankakee about 15 miles south of the south side.
Also looking for the bolts to mount the trans with.

ya know - I just saw your response to his land marker, and I thought the same thing when I read his response, haha.

Should have been done in a PM. Forest, do you want this thread closed?
