Fair and Balnced I figure that my presence on this site is compromising and berating enough so the worst I could do is add insult to injury.

I figured it would be producing either grapes or condos. Good to see it's still being farmed. I always preferred car rides to the North Fork versus the South. Seeing all that farmland was enough to make you forget you were still on the island. Did the New London Ferry allow tractor trailers? i'm thinking we may have used it to bring a load from Quincy,MA to Waldbaum's in Central Islip.

There goes my retirement plans. Do they have a donor 72" cab or will one have to be fabricated?

Nyama za shto. I'm 1/2 Italian, 1/4 English, 1/4 Irish but I made it a point to learn basic Belarusian 'cause "ya never know". Note: This post has been pre-flagged as BS for your convenience.

Do your cousins have any sisters?

Yep, that's my Mother's maiden name. And about the pretty pony dancing under a rainbow, I was young and needed the money!

Anyone ever steal your lunch? I didn't think so. Thanks for the definition. Been living in the area 20 years this summer and was never quite sure who the term applied to. A bit a differnt culture here. There are foods that are staples at buffets and get togethers that I had never heard of and many people have last names with multiple consecutive consonents. Push down on your keyboard with all 10 fingers at the same time and you will come up with a name that can be found in the Pittsburgh phone book. tvpuiqwen/ -I'm gonna look that one up.

New Vehicle in the Garage: 1973 Mack DM800 (1973)
Green Dash replied to GS217's topic in Truck Stories
Absolutely beautiful. That is the quintessential (had to look that one up) Long Island dump truck. -
Somehow I thought I'd be the first to pick up on that even though this thread is 10 hours old. I forgot I'm playing in the big leagues now.

I vaguely remember the moving vans but the only local horse carrier I recall pulling out of Roosevelt was Woodbury Horse Transportation. They had black IH Transtars. Is that farm still putting out potatoes?
-
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark. I keep seeing a genie in my garage but she's pretty lame. All she knows how to do is make the door go up and down.

Ok. I would have swore I saw a build sheet or something similar for an FL with the Cummins. From a happier time in it's life: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71125167@N00/3934350052/sizes/l/in/photostream/

Yes in fact I graduated high school from William Floyd in '80. Born in Mineola and lived in Carle Place, Westbury, Terryville, Selden and 3 places in "Shirley and the Mastics" I just noticed that trailer has the new logo on the nose and the old logo on the side. Was Walton P. Davis a moving company? I remember the name but can't picture the equipment.
-
After watching the Donnie and Marie video this doesn't sound so bad. I am certain that I read somwhere that this truck had a 350 Cummins.

Eve Plumb (Jan Brady) was another that I would've liked to "held hands" with back then.

Absolutely. I knew from an early age that this was what I wanted to do but didn't actually become a full-time driver until I was 38. I had let myself get talked out of it when I was younger and thought I would eventually lose the desire to get into trucking. That never happened so here I am. I still look in the mirrors and out over the hood and think that I have to coolest job in the world. I once told my Wife that she may not want me to offer career advice to our children. If they had come to me saying that there was nothing in the world they rather do more than shovel $hit for a living, I'd be down at the hardware store buying a shovel.

You only have yourself to blame for this.... 17 kids......uh....yeah......uh......sorry.........no.........that's a dealbreaker.

I'm glad you folks like the pics. I remembered 2 things: The fella in the shop was restoring a Lincoln sedan from the 60's. You can see some classic cars in the background of a few pics. He mentioned that the DR in the shed (7th pic down) belonged to the owner and that the owner wanted to be buried in it. "You mean after he dies?" I asked "I would imagine so" he replied with a straight face.

Oh yeah? I'd like to see her try! Really, I would like to see her try... .

I've eaten pierogies before but don't recall going through all this before opening the box. I guess folks from the "Show Me" state take their motto seriously. My Wife let me check her bra size once and only once. I didn't know she just wanted me to read the tag.

Just when you thought you've seen everything....

When I see a one-legged asian woman, everything else becomes a blur. At first, I didn't even see the cab, let alone the bi-pole, -

Little known factoid: This configuration was first implemented by Native Americans and was originally dubbed the "Cab Over Injun". -
Thank You. He was the first and it's looking like I'll be the last. Oh well, we had a good run!

You can add Chef BoyArDee Historian to that resume'.
