ShockedShockedShocked The Jeep Gods are smiling down on you.

 I think you're going to have to hire a foreman to run your business. You need extra time to begin restoring all those Jeeps. Maybe Miller will be your Jeep restoration shop boss. Big decisions. Wink

The Jeep parts houses will know you by First name and may call you for supplies.

Omg, , you are Flush with Hobart's and goodies for Miller !!  :)

    Miller will always be packing a cresent wrench in his pocket.    hahaha
He will be the only one of his buddies who will know what a "keyed-coil" would be.
I wish I had your courage to drag stuff in.   My wife has been pestering me for years to Unload rigs.
For year 2020, I did sell about five vehicles and a '57 Lincoln SA-200.
The SA-200 was a basket which came with a 6 cyl Dodge L-powered Lincoln portable.
After sitting for 4-years with Marvel mystery oil floated on top of the pistons, I was able to remove each one successfully, and refurbed the engine (cylinder de-glazing and brg clearance check and valve lap.
Dang, those SA-200 welders sure do lay down a nice smooth bead !!
After 32-years of keeping it alive, it got sold off in 2020 for $2,800 smackers.   The young chap who bought it is a certified welder, and I could not believe the beauty of his steady hand and weld beads !

It rained like all dickens and poured here mid-October, but didn't leave me with any Hobarts.  :(

      So, What is the year and model of your green Ford "hobart-hauler" ?
( I have a '77 Ford 6-pack pickup, which was a F-250 2wd, then I stumbled across a F-350 2wd 6-pack cab and chassis I had to purchase for a rear door donor.   Wound up I converted the longbed chassis to 4-wheel drive and used the cab off of the F-250 donor ).   _ _ a long story and looonger chassis.  :)

Green Ford is a 74 F-250. 
I think we talked about your sweet Crewcab a few years back……
Light blue with a 300 6 cyl ?
