John,
        That T'All is a '67 with the BG 241 and 4-speed, and belongs to
John Donnelly in Woodburn, Oregon.  It was an Oregon DOT truck once upon
a time, and came with the factory engine skid plate.  The front bumper
was a Warn bumper I found at a swap meet last year for $35, and the rims
are Scout II rallyes.  The rear axle had an SOA and the spring hangers
were flipped too, while the front axle had an SOA and a spacer block.  It
still has the heavy duty drums, and Super Swampers.  It is probably
getting a propane conversion, although an EFI is still a possibility. 
The cowl was cut out, and the rusty lipped vent was cut out, and a pair
of Scout II vents were installed, and the cowl covered back over.  Even
in the heaviest rain, it never leaked.  It has new aftermarket gauges, so
the speedo is dead nuts on, and the gas gauge works perfectly.  No leaks
anywhere.  The rusty areas were cut out on the fenders and rewelded and
touched up with some filler.  Someone had painted over the original ODOT
orange with a Pepto-Bismol pink with a hand brush, so John squirted it
with the Rustoleum camo green a desert tan.  The rack was something off
of a Scout II that was modified to fit the truck.  I really dig the look
of that truck.  It was necessary to shift down for the major hills, with
35 MPH being the rule on the steep ones.  Lots of shifting with that, so
George Thoroughgood's "GearJammer" has been made its theme song.The
spread is a little much for that little motor, so a 5-speed Fuller is in
the works for it.  Those that come to the RoundUp can see it in person. 
John said it never balked at anything he tried on the trip, no matter how
steep, deep, or slow it was.  Oh, and the name of it is TerrorAll.  
        Jim Price posted another group of pictures of the trip on a site
here if anyone wants to look at them.

Colin, That sounds and looks like it was a good trip. Thanks for the
description and pictures. (I guess I should say thank Jim Price for the
pictures?) Which one of you owns the Travelall? Looks like a '67 or '68?
Can't quite tell from the pics. Thanks, ~John A.
