175 days to Christmas!
The Big Muskie was a fascinating machine. When my son was little, we would travel to Ohio and track it down out in the boonies. As he got older, we continued to enjoy tracking it down on our trips to Ohio but eventually, we found it dismantled. Now the bucket is displayed at a park set aside for this purpose.
It was sad to see the old girl go. If you have any fond memories and photos you would like to post online, contact us. We will be updating this site with more stories and pictures of the legend, the Big Muskie.
BP4 Photo Shoot And Dilemma Discussion
This is a dilemma. My wife says she is glad I bought this pickup so I won't expend the time and expense restoring the '56 truck. I like the '55 AND the fact that the work is completed and all I have to do is drive it and feed it! However, I kinda had my heart set on restoring the black beauty. Not to mention, I was planning a mod with a four-cylinder diesel engine.
But my wife has a point and I have a better chance of having a life if I sell the '56 and leave the project to someone else. However, the whole point of this website was to document the step-by-step frame off restoration of the '56 Binder!
While we sort out this dilemma, the photos are a walk around the vehicle.
Isn't this '55 a beauty? The people who have restored this truck have done a beautiful job. I know this will be a fun truck to drive on Saturdays and to events (might sneak it to work, the days I am not hauling trailers with my F350 Powerstroke Dually).
If you have any great ideas, for the '56 or this site, send me an email at the link below. Maybe this will be a site for you to show off your project truck. I would be happy to host your story, whether it is a frame-off or a mod.
Regardless, we will be posting more stories. So you are going to want to check back from time-to-time. Hope to see you again, soon!
Random Humor: Snake Bite
"I hope I'm not poisonous," said the first snake.
"Why?" asked the second.
"Because I just bit my lip."
