  1. While they have little space under the hood for a filter,even with the stock engine,most any conversion may leave even less room. What about an intake hose to a filter under the floor or something like that? Speed
  2. I'd sure like to see an exterior pic of these trucks-it'd be nice to put a "face to the voice",so to speak. Speed
  3. "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Nothing like a blast of Ego to humble the masses. I'm not the greatest at shifting by a long shot,but unlike all of you,I wasn't born with "the touch",I've had to work at getting better and shifting smoother. Doesn't help that most of what I've driven has been without a tach (or ANY gauges in a couple of trucks) and have had mis-matched boxes (common on ranch trucks around here,where they use whatever is lying around to get the truck back to work.) I applaud your talent and pious nature! Speed
  4. Good luck on it. Looks like it'd be a cool camper/motorhome if the conversion's worth a damn. Last conversion I looked at that was that age was a '47 Dodge,and even I had to walk all hunched over in it. Maybe THAT'S what the bubble is for. (over the kitchen?) With a rebuilt engine in it,depending on the quality of the conversion and general health of the rest of the bus,maybe $2-4,000 would be fair. The tires look okay from what I can see,but if they're weather cracked it'll add over a thousand to the expense to make it a driver. I certainly wouldn't mind owning it if I could pull together a reasonable offer! Speed
  5. Looks right out of "The Untouchables". I like it! Speed
  6. At least not unless they can show PROOF,something this Administration has failed miserably at. Speed
  7. There's a cure for that-ignore the media and go by what your own eyes see. It is what it is. Speed
  8. I guess that's about typical for "Low Joe". Even though it was about being "frisked",it's STILL not cool in this setting. Speed
  9. True story there-just the opposite of Cornbinders,where,if you didn't have the "Build Sheet" you couldn't order parts for 'em. Speed
  10. Well-it WORKS,but it's a little EXTREME. Not only solves the problem,but makes me vomit! Speed
  11. I bought my first home from a man who had an early 60's Stude longbed pick up-the first half ton pick up I'd ever seen with a factory 5 speed in it. It had the V-8 and dual exhausts made of 2" galvanized plumbing pipe clear to the rear bumper,no mufflers. That truck sounded AWESOME. It'd almost crack windows every time he shifted or backed off the throttle. Speed
  12. Can't argue with that,Bro; This story tells of the beginning of the end. Once that can-o-worms is opened,it's DAMNED hard to shut,especially when it's been OPEN this long.... Speed
  13. She probably looks like his Mom... Speed Happy New Year Everyone!!
  14. I like those Brand X trucks-you can make ANY brand of parts fit 'em! (BTW-I always considered trucks like Studebaker to be a Brand X.) Speed
  15. I was gonna say our "fearless leader" didn't have any bells,but after all he's done to blatantly assault our US Constitution,it's clear he has big brass ones. We need to hand 'em back to him in a velvet sack... Speed
  16. I agree,but,you know what? I don't care! They can put me on whatever list they want. I refuse to lower myself to THEIR level just to get along. I may not be able to change the world,but I intend to surround myself with others who live with the beliefs and standards of the way it used to be. At least I can make my little corner a little better. If everyone else does the same,maybe the world can be a little better. Merry Christmas,my friends!
  17. " Mao got man of the year 54 times..."--Because it was either that or death?... Speed .
  18. Very interesting comments here,too. They even have their own Troll,to stir up some trouble. I like her article-she really sees it right! Now,if we can get her involved with a gun owners rights group... Speed
  19. Ya know-these would make an EXCELLENT book. It'd be a HUGE seller! Only thing is,it'd take half the book just for the credits... Speed
  20. Sorry Bro,you're right. I'm too old anyway. She IS a doll though. Besides,I can't afford any more live type keepers unless they can pay their own way. Only reason I can even afford trucks is I don't bring 'em home unless they're either free or traded for,and they don't eat unless I use 'em. Is Bri (Brianna?) or Kim available? Speed
  21. Has there ever been another White House occupant in history who had so many derogatory nicknames,or a seemingly unlimited supply of jokes about him? I guess we need to laugh at him,though the jokes he provokes come at a high price for America. BTW-Where's MY damned Obamaphone?? I'd like to stick it where he'll have to have it on "Vibrate" to know if it's ringing. Speed
  22. I was with a redheaded girl for 13 years,and she was a little rough at the time but not that bad. Never did get married officially,but were common law married. Finally we realized the magic was gone and split up. She "got religion";we still talk on the phone from time to time. Speed
  23. Hey,if the redhead (Jenna) ever decides to jump ship,put my name on her dance card. Speed BTW-the other two ladies are fine looking too,but I can't resist a Redhead-maybe it's because guys always say they're "troublesome",and I'm just not comfortable unless everything in my life's "troublesome".
  24. Well-I've been tryin' as hard as I can to give all the Liberals heart attacks,but they're too dim to understand,and I can't "dumb things down"any more than I already have. Obviously the intellectual approach doesn't work, (and they have the balls to call Conservatives stupid!) and it's still against the law to hunt 'em. ....What's that saying about "Don't try to teach a pig to sing....."
