Eddy and I didn't meet face to face until many years later in fact it was well after I had made a trip to California to purchase a lathe and haul a small trailer back for him as well which I converted to a trades day display trailer for him to take to truck and car shows so he could sell his paint.
Anyway the truck is now at my place I will be constructing a permanent protected storage for it so he and I can set about the task of fully restoring it to its prime.
I have long considered it as much mine as it is his even though he owns it.
Did CT design their own DC motors? If so they had talent to do that. I didn't see in the story anything about the motors. There must be a reduction gear train, I assume that was unique to these trucks as well.
