Re: [ihc] 1310 Travelalls?

["Ryan Moore" <baradium@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Caught my attention... mainly because it's at the newest of postings and I
only had a chance to glance in (don't have much free time at al at the
moment, waaaayy behind on the list and BB).  Just have to say that there is
a guy on the BB (although I can't get on it at the moment) who recently (as
of the last time I was on there) purchased a 1310 stageways... complete with
10,000lb GVWR IIRC.  I'd try to read the post this reply came from, but I
don't see a subject that sounds like the discussion (and since it's not
listed anywhere I can't look that way) and I also don't have any time to
search.

P.S.  I havn't been able to spend any time with the panel truck since the
day we picked it up, but it is still safely in Woodbury.  Still waiting on
some stuff from the owner, and it's kind of starting to get on my nerves a
little bit that I don't have it yet (most notably the title)....
