[AT] Duplex Truck Company

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

A quote I originally read on Smokestak, "If it casts a shadow, then it can 
be restored". Whats the chance the property owners have any of the rest of 
this thing lying around? Even if restoration is not feasible, it would be 
nice if it could be preserved somehow. One would think towing it on those 
wheels may become a disaster real quick.

I did find that page Dave, but nothing was hyper linked, no additional
info unless I'm missing something. My wife wanted me to hook it to the
tractor and pull it home. I reminded her that it wasn't ours, and even
then what to do with it, with 75% of it is missing no restoration possible.
