  1. Looks neat!!! What is the yellow beast in the shop????
  2. Basically to Alice Springs for the Truckers Reunion Show< But have several tourist stops on also.
  3. Thanks for all the pictures of your trip... We are looking forward to our Aussie trip in August.
  4. Must be some of these "steering wheeel holders" have figured out how to disengage the PTO without hitting the down button!!!
  5. You are caught http://s1095.photobucket.com/user/grenfell34/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_2228_zpse50b07a0.jpg.html
  6. Paul I understand you attended at truck show in Allora Queensland this past weekend!! The Internet sure has shrunk the world.. Ron Grenfell posted you on the Just Old Trucks website and said the two of you raked me over the coals!!! The travel agent said she would have a better list of activities by late March..Not sure about the ride?? BUT will definately plan on meeting you for a couple of VB's!!! Will have to see how the stars align!!
  7. S tupid W oman I n F irst T ruck
  8. But how does he explain it to his wife when he gets home????
  9. I passed a UPS tractor on LNG on I-81 going to Winchester last fall.. He definately was getting paid by the hour as it was seriously holding up traffic on every grade!!
  10. I have also read that Brockway made some "Modifications" to the F model when they used it for the 457/459 COE's, But I cannot remember exactly what they were.. It is somewhere on the brockwaytrucks.org site..
  11. Kframdiesel I just sent you a PM about the Orange Rollback
  12. Let me see if I can find out who owns the roll back
  13. Ken I am an "El Cheapo"!!! Have rooms in the Econolodge!! Hope Tom brings the Winfall Wimmin for the Nooner!!!
  14. Not to defend ATHS, But the thinking behind the charge to sleep is to cover the additional facilities rental cost to include the use of the showers.. AND Johnson as usual went way overboard!!! The non fueling price of a shower at a truck stop is only in the $10 range. Board member Rick Knox brought this up last year, but did not get anywhere in lowering it.. Maybe with the new management AND if you could get enough people to complain to their RVP it could get changed by 2016.
  15. This was at the 2012 Cherokee NC show.. I can not remember if this is a repower or a sheet metal transplant.. Possibly I can find out??
  16. Ken and Larry If you need Mike's email addy PM or email me as I have it
  17. Ken You will have to contact Mike H Superdog directly to get an honest answer to your questions..I Know He stayed in the Bulldog Hilton last year at Springfield MO and may not want to put all that info out in public.
  18. Basically it is how much a fan of a brand a person is.. A dedicated REO person would go further and spend more than the average Joe.
  19. Here is a link to it.. Be sure to let the ad run thru then it plays OK
  20. Wonder if that Diamond T was stock under the hood??? Have not watched any of it.. They seem to get WAAAY too much money for stuff at that auction!! Did anybody hear what the DT went for??
  21. Tom Thanks for the pictures.. How do those coils on skids ride in a van with no way to tie them down??? Must have to turn corners VEEEERRRRRY carefully???
  22. Mark Thanks for the info.. Bet that last R model is praying for NO crosswind!!
  23. Part of this sped limiter issue also comes from the corporate bean counters who have NO experience with trucking..If some so called "experts" say that slower speeds will improve fuel mileage, that means we are more efficent, have to buy less fuel and therefore improve the bottom line. They forget that one lawsuit resulting from an accident wipes out the profit from a LOT of miles of .5 MPG savings. I used to work for one such company(Cut to 60 MPH), sure am glad I was able to retire!!
  24. Mark Was that last picture taken at a NASCAR race??? The Yellow and Blue edge of the very right hand COE looks like Dale Earnhart Wrangler colors?? Wrangler also had some Pete COE's in their company fleet painted like that during that era.
  25. Mike It sure looks like you married a good COOK!!!! Congrats!!
