    Charlee, these willamitte's, I've look several times , all I find is that they were made for M&F, what I read could have been "M&F in portland" there Hq was in portland...maybe not meaning made there ...

    so I'll put this on the list that say's the gold decals were real gold LOLOL...

    ya no, it is true these are semi industrail machines. semi meaning = almost. I'm semi handsome in a frieghtliner kinda way ..
