A little update on the Duster and life in general. I’m moving! The Duster has already moved!
Situation is I am a Wildland Firefighter with the US Forest Service on the Cleveland National Forest in San Diego, CA. I just accepted a job with the LBJ National Grassland (still Forest Service) in Decatur, TX just outside Fort Worth.
This is great because I get to be closer to my home state of Oklahoma. I joined the Navy after 9/11 and have only lived there for a 3 month stint since then. I have a rent house and plan to buy the house I grew up in from my Dad. It’ll be really nice to be closer to my income property and to have my kids closer to the Grandparents. We’ll only be 2-1/2 hours away. My Dad is a huge Mopar fan and it’ll be fun to cruise together and meet up at shows across the two states. He’s got a 70 cuda and 69 Roadrunner.
A few weeks ago I went back to OK and grabbed my Dads 2001 Ram 3500 and a trailer. I left him my little diesel Jetta Sportwagen. I came home and loaded up the Duster and all it’s parts and he drove my car out to CA and hauled it back to OK.
Now I just have 3 more of my Mopars to haul out there. (69 Valiant, 70 cuda, & 76 D100). My wife still needs to land a job in Texas and I need to get my report date and we can start looking for homes.
