  1. Gulfway in Hudson FL is popular if you are going to pull a trailer.. Mine is thru State Farm, But you have to find an agent who does Antique and/or Commercial, many do not??
  2. Timmy That number includes the area code, BUT you will need the international number (???) for the States ahead of it..
  3. This all started in the mid 1960's when the child psychologists like Sr. Spock and others started saying that were were to "talk to children, not physically discipline them".. Now 3 or 4 generations later we have people who DO NOT respect any kind of authority period. And I have no idea how to turn it around??
  4. If the people in the F-150 lived they better THANK the good Lord!!
  5. Lookin' Great!! Do you have Gulf Decals for it??
  6. Gotta Agree with you!!!!!

  9. This coming Saturday, February 10th, the ATHS Palmetto Upstate and ATHS Western North Carolina chapters are hosting a Town Hall type combined chapter meeting with guest speaker ATHS President Tom Mullen. This is a 1 PM cafeteria style luncheon meeting at the J&S Cafe, 30 Airport Park Road, Fletcher NC, just off exit 40 of I-26 east of Ashville NC. Everyone is welcome!!
  10. In the summer of 1963 I worked in a truck garage outside Ithaca NY. Cornell University had an early 60's GMC single axle bulk milk tanker. Gas job with an automatic transmission, it had another fuel feed type peddle on the left side which said "retarder" on it. I was too young and dumb to know how it operated as I only drove it from the yard to over the pit to service it. Was this a mechanically operated application to something described above???
  11. Mike, It is good to hear from you again.. Hope your health is continuing to improve in the winter weather..
  12. Late 50's early 60's the Canadian Cockshutt farm tractors also used the Perkins diesel.
  13. Possibly it will be at the ATHS show in Reno, NV in 2019????
  14. The tie down chains work only if you have enough movement, 6 inches, to get the tires onto them, same as using a lot of things.. A gallon of Clorox poured over the tires also works at times.
  15. In the 60's & 70's our mailman had a RHD IH Scout.. and I have seen several mailmen driving those Subarus.
  16. HG I think this is what the manufactures call "computer aided torque management" so that you can not tear up the drive line..
  17. JB, I think you are right about the old British empire countries being the only ones who drive on the wrong side the the roar anymore. South Africa, India, and some other smaller ones??
  18. A double dose of Nyquill washed down by a couple or three beers!!!! Sleep like a baby all night!!!
  19. The Aussie take on this here: https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/truck_Chat/17160-industry-safety#190333
  20. That may be true Down Under but not here in the States?? When I was at Tony Champions dealership in 2015 the name on the building may have said Volvo Commercial Vehicles, BUT there was not one Volvo on the lot!!! ALL MACKS!!
  21. Would that fender set be called a Drom?? ANd give you different weight and length ratings??
  22. For several years (1975 to 1985) I lived in Kresgeville, PA.. Southwest of Stroudsburg on US 209..His original store was just outside town.. Do not know if it still exists?? There were a few people in the area that lived comfortably on old Kresge money..
  23. His obituary can be found here:: http://obituaries.bangordailynews.com/obituary/darylgushee-1963-2017-1020137302
  24. Yes he Did.. 54 years old.. What a shock to everyone.. Was found dead on his shop floor on Saturday 12/20/17. Have not heard the cause yet but friends are assuming it was one of those massive heart attacks that kill instantly?? There is a lot more info on the Just Old Trucks website, both in the Monday 1/1/18 What Am I? section and the Peter J's Place section under topic "Sad News". Understand he had over 300 antique vehicles of which 11 were Linns. If you attended ATHS Springfield Mass in 2012 he had about 6 or 8 trucks there so check out your Showtime book. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/125216/What-Am-I-for-Monday-1012018 http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/125200/sad-news
