Those floor mounted dimmer switches tend to collect dirt and water and corrode back up the wires a long ways as well as the plug corrodes..

May be no help, But search Upstate New York truck salvage yards. They might know of a township or county highway dept that would have manuals left on the shelf??? The Mack RM 4X4 was a very poplar double wing plow truck in the "Lake Effect" snow region east of Lake Ontario. Get out your Rand McNally atlas and you will see the area I am speaking of..

Thus taking longer to build up oil pressure in a cold engine..

By taking the ferry they are a shallow enough draft to take the inland channel and do commercial work. These pictures were taken at Ketchikan or Wrangell. This man put a 40 or 45 foot reefer in the side door of the ferry.

Did you get time to do the Totem Pole museum in Sitka??????

Bob, I am glad you enjoyed your cruise.. Never been on a cruise ship, BUT have taken the car ferry to Alaska twice.. First from Prince Rupert BC to Sitka Alaska. After pulling a 12 foot U-Haul trailer with my F-150 from Bar Harbor Maine!!!! Second time from Bellingham, Wash to Haines Alaska via Sitka Alaska. Great scenery and saw some whales on both trips.

Jeff Lakaszcyk posts most every evening on the Just Old Trucks website ( https://forums.justoldtrucks.com/ ) in the "What Am I" section.. He must have over 100,000 truck pictures on his computer.. His email is: Lakaszjl@aol.com

Thanks for the pictures.. Our ATHS Palmetto Upstate chapter show is this weekend in conjunction with the Dacusville Heritage Assn Farm Days. GPS/Google maps 3147 Earls Bridge Road Easley SC.. Will try to post some pictures next week/

I wish a big thank you to Hippy for all the memes.. BUT I have a question for the Dumbocrats.. Since you keep calling on Trump as being anti democracy, how do you explain you are running a presidential candidate with absolutely NO primary votes from the people of the good ole US of A??????????????

I am going to suggest just a plain steel bumper painted the same light green.. That way it would match the light green visor and the light green across the back of the cab??????

Randy, Is Gregg the man in Central PA with a drop deck who has moved a lot of fire trucks??? If so, I could NOT remember his name..

Joey, Daryl had a large riggging / heavy haul business. He was very active in the antique / historical truck hobby and a close friend of the late Erv Bickford of Yarmouth ME. He also was a large collector of 4X4 type equipment. He had something like a dozen LINN tractors and snow plows.. He passed away of a heart attack, in his mid 50's, about 5 years ago. Do you have the ATHS Showtime picture book from the 2012 Springfield Mass show??? He had several pieces of equipment there..

YES!!!!!!!

Is the late Daryl Gushee's, New Glouster ME, trucking business still in operation????? He used to do a lot of that work..

If you are going to put antique/historical plates on it someone in your chapter should (??) know how to deal with the state DMV or maybe know the right DMV office to go to..

I was going to mention Bub Warren.. Was not sure if he was still in business after his father passed away?? The last contact info I have for him is : 806-374-3056 lilyellowbus37@gmail.com

Larry and Tom, Check out the rural "Penny Saver" type advertising newspapers. There might be an ad for Bobcat work that might have a post hole auger attachment?? Especially in cattle farming areas.. The man who rents my pasture land has one for his Bobcat to build fences with..

Craftsman and Snap On used to make a 1/2 drive screw driver blade to just this purpose that Mechohaulic described you making/building..

If you fail here in the States, possibly Tony Champion in Townsville NSW AU might have them???

Tom May I suggest you enclose the carport better to prevent wind driven rain and snow from hitting your beautiful truck.. There was a posting up in the fire truck section about carports not protecting as well as a barn..

Maybe if you buy your new to you used tires from a dealer he will take the old one??? Especially if you get mounting included in the purchase??

I like that!!!!!!! Just do the wheels next and you will be done!!!!!

Technically with Antique/Historic plates you do not have to stop, BUT as long as you are mechanically fine it is better to swing in so they can see the plate than it is to have them chase you down thinking you are running the scale.. Surprisingly many of them just want to look at an antique truck!!!! With my 3500 Dodge and 32 foot gooseneck trailer I by pass most of the scales.. In Iowa where the sign said "All Towed Vehicles" when the lady pulled me around back basically all she wanted to know was I was NOT Commercial.. Also if you go up 29 to Shady's then route 6 to 340 to above Winchester then cut over to 11 you will not have any scales or interstate traffic to worry about!!!

I know and understand the great weekend of racing.. BUT If anyone asks you only race for TROPHIES!!!!! That way neither you or the truck are compensated.. Our SC state diesel cop stated that ribbons and trophies do NOT count, But breakfast or a case of beer do if moving someones vehicle for them.. About the only time it would matter is if you are involved in a serious accident and a lawsuit entails a smart a$$ lawyer!!!

Ditto to Dean's comments!!
