  1. I met and talked with Mike at the ATHS Des Moines 2016-17(???) show.. He had had a stroke and was recovering OK.. posted later he got his CDL back. Then he got sick again, I think it was cancer that finally got him??????? He had a lot of stuff!!! Heard about 150 Macks of some description parked in the Cow Pasture behind his farm. His son, Mikey, was on here for a while after Mike Passed, But have not heard from him lately..
  2. Paul, Thank you for the words to Snowy River... I have heard Slim sing it many times but I did not know it was written by the same man who wrote Waltzing Matilda.. That was in about 1895???????
  3. Paul, The movie you posted will not come up for me??? The Wikipedia for the Sundowner opened OK.. Was the movie "The Man From Snowy River" based on Slim Dusty's song with the same title??? or the other way around????
  4. My wife gets all them on one of her many Dish Sat channels. She has been watching Gunsmoke for the last 13 years, since we retired, so that now she knows what Matt Dillen is going to do before he does.
  5. Dumb Butt question!!! I realize Ireland is a completely different country, BUT Are there any exceptions for Antique/Historical licenced vehicles??????? Does that law apply to all vehicles????? Obviously it would be impossible to get tires to fit most preWW 2 cars???
  6. Tommy, I am even behind you, 7 cars including a Scout, 6 pickups and now a dually flatbed truck. Plus 1 Diamond T pick up (Restored and running) and a 55 F-600 Ford grain body, plus 2 Brockways that were never running and a DT 921 COE.
  7. Bob, Check around for companies who are changing out to Budd type wheels on trailers.. Some may have some 11R22.5 rims available?? Possibly the shops who service container chassis might have some 10:00 / 20 tires in stock??? At least on the east coast.. I have not pulled containers in the last 12 years and at the time I retired a few of the companies were going to 11/ 22.5..
  8. How long did it run before shutting down again?? How long does it sit??? A battery tender / minder is cheap and might solve the problem???? check their specs, you might need either a heavier one for both 12V batterys?? or one for each???
  9. The 6613 I had attached to a 555 Cummins, not in a truck so no stickers, had a splitter box on the back like a 9513.. Was told when I bought it, it was and underdrive splitter??? Came out of an asphalt oil distributor / sprayer truck..
  10. That switch would date back to the "all or nothing" Jake.. Before you could select how many heads you wanted the Jake to use.. Just a simple two position switch so if you still have the face plate any new switch would work..
  11. I do not post many pictures, BUT when my quota fills up I use Postimage.. Then it seems like after while I can go back to posting a single picture once in a while????
  12. Hard to tell??? I think (??) there were about 5 or 6 body builders in Orville Ohio???
  13. Bob, Yes with Amazon having their own trucking I can see where it is hurting both UPS and FedEx.. I have about 100 shares of FedEx stock, via Roadway Package Svc, which date back to the late 70's Roadway bonus stock I received by not going to work for another freight company (Matlack) when I quit being a Roadway dock foreman. Now I am curious as to how a spin off will give me shares in both companies???
  14. We only go about 5 miles up the road to a church.. Always in the mid morning of election day..
  15. I have to use Postimage.com when my allowed space is used up..
  16. I love the Davy Crockett hat!!!!!!! Did not know you could get them???
  17. Same with New York State, NYC and the island are the tail that wags the dog..
  18. I just mulch them up with the lawn mower... Start at the house and by the time I get to the ditch they are a fairly fine powder that washes away or soak/rot in with the winter rains..
  19. I am thinking (???) that the soda dissolves in water???????? Wash down the truck and pad then quickly throw a coat of primer on it???
  20. That Seagrave was at ATHS York in June. Maybe he heard about it there??????
  21. Bob, Neat looking Chevy, Complete with Oldsmobile hub caps!!!
  22. Hendrickson was one of the many companies who used the I-H CompfoVision cab. Most of them used the assembled unit although Diamond T bought the raw stampings and assembled them in house..
  23. There was an article on the Daily Caller website that FEMA has NO MONEY for for this and other disasters as they have spent all of their budget relocating and housing all the illegal coming across the southern border!!!!! Thank You Mr. Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. Matt, are you down here with the Chinook???? If so, Thank You and God Bless!!
  25. Vlad, That is an excellent example of the Ford C model Budd cab raised and pushed back to become the Ford H model, Nicknamed to "Two Story Falcon" as the compact car Ford Falcon came our about the same time..
