Jeez, let your wife use your phone when you go in for surgery, and when you wake up you have HUNDREDS of emails, and forum posts, to follow up on! Good thing I'm still crazy about her after 25 years, huh?!
This is Donny, and I am back in the hunt for a 303. Thanks for all your kind thoughts, guys, and Jim, White Mountains sounds like fun!

Glad to see you are up and about Donny...now you can devote your time to finding that 303 instead of sleeping, good luck with the search!

Thanks, Pete! Right now I gotta split my time between looking for 303 and answering emails and forum posts!

Well, I sold the boat! Nice guy, too. Seems to appreciate the lines of an old cruiser. (See sig). He came up to upstate NY today, we spent a couple hours going through it, and all the gear. He's coming back next weekend to pay cash, and haul it away.
WOO-HOO!
Now, on to MORE good news! I have been in close contact with Mr. Joacim Halling from Coatex AB in Malmo, Sweden. He's sold a LOT of these Tgb's, as well as bigger Tgb30 Scanias, and he found us a real cherry! New Alu-Zinc body in 1997, NEW ENGINE and transmission in 2004! Only 2000 kms on the engine and tranny! It's not even broken in yet!
Truck's been in storage for a few years, he and his shop-mates are going through it now. They've replaced front brake cylinders, rears to be done soon. Replacing one of the carbs. One wheel seal was bad, replaced.
He said it has the straightest panels he's ever seen, too! And the price? Can't say here, but suffice it to say, it's dirt cheap!
