My name is Wesley Van Pelt.  I live outside of Dayton, VA near the WV border.  Professionally I haul US Mail for a government contractor driving a 2005 International 9400i.

 I was born into an IH family with mom driving the R-190 while pregnant with me.  My dad learned to drive on a '51 L-120 and bought Indy back in '90 which I then "bargined" him out of after my freshman year of high school.  I have been hooked on them ever since.

I keep a stock of used parts from trucks I have stripped and if I don't have something I can usually locate it.
