You guys get the cool trucks, at the rate we're going here our trucks are going to resemble a Hoover vacuum cleaner

yup. but then again the old man did not have to tell us to go help back then, we did it automatically because that was what we did. help neighbors, especially the elderly. even if we did not like them.

Just purchased this 2000cL 713 460 18 sd 46 full lockers. Just waiting for delivery. Coming from Quebec (bmt site member).

I really don’t have any interest in working for someone. I know it would be the better way to get into it, but that’s what I’m trying to get away from and work for myself. The whole idea behind buying the cheap truck with cash is that I then have a good size emergency fund for the unexpected repairs that can come up. I’ll have to see if there’s any local companies that are hiring, and explore that possibility. For now the truck hunt continues but with exploring the possibility of employment.

around 500 I beleive ! 450 is a little low But! Turbo can cause this ! Exhaust goes by the shaft seals under high boost!we built a tool to cap both ends the inlet air and exhaust side and aplly 40 psi shop air to it, to find this very issue Haven't seen it happen for quite some time

Gunna have to bung a photo up and show off your latest toy Paul

I have a loadstar like that with a hatch. It came from a steel fab company down the road. Michael

I see. Truck looks like it's in good shape.

If I was sitting inside watching my neighbor shovel my old man would have givin me a boot in the ass and said don’t watch get off your ass and go help.

Actually steers pretty sharp to the left but the right doesn’t steer sharp at all ... bob

My DM steers the same way but it has power steering Kind of surprising for a 66.... bob

in winter 76/77 we had a BAD fire in a welfare apartment complex. lost 3 buildings with 24 units in each. i did not know i had pinholes in my boots, and gloves. well, my boots and gloves filled up with water. we were so damn cold i never knew..... until i went to take them off and the outside next to the gloves and boots was frozen. i have had issues with my hands and feet due to the frostbite from that "adventure" ever since.
