Great find! 👍

As soon as i saw your post I ran out to Menards to find these.  The good news: I was successful!  The not so good: they were in the $5 bin at my store, not the $3 one…. Still a bargain, though!

A Captain in Toledo? Inquiring minds must know.

COLONEL KURTZ "Where are you from Willard ?"
WILLARD "I'm from Ohio, sir."
KURTZ "Were you born there ?"
WILLARD "Yes, sir."
KURTZ "Whereabouts ?"
WILLARD "Toledo, sir."
KURTZ "How far were you from the river ?"
WILLARD "The Ohio river, sir ? About 200 miles." 

Nice looking truck, never knew Bob Denver drove 'em, just boats. Can't have been John, he just flew planes..... not so well as it turned out. 

A.  More like a Captain FROM Toledo.  I grew up there, and currently live in Michigan a few miles north of the state line...and I was a Captain of Armor/Cavalry, not SF.  And IIRC, BOB Denver couldn't drive a boat that well, either...

Great find! 👍

Yeah, a great find indeed.  The ones I got were in the $3 bin, but rang up at $5.  Once the cashier realized they were mis-binned, she changed it to $3 each...either way, as you pointed out, a bargain...

Thanks for the heads up on the trucks.  Will be heading to Menards today to pickup a few.  Just in time for our upcoming K47 campaign!

Nice looking trucks for the price. I'd gladly trade a Home Depot for a Menard's
any day.

Yeah - Home Despot ain't my favorite store...
