Green Dash

Wife prolly threatened to kick his butt if he didn't. I cried and pee'd my pants after reading it. Perhaps it's not the one for me.

My Daughter found this on Facebook. https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/4189640970.html

I like the early Cruiseliner. Too bad Mack had to add the filler panel around the headlights on later models.

Were hand-cranked vehicles equipped with a compression release?

Nice trucks, gentlemen. As is the case with most trucks, I prefer the classic look to the modern styling of today. Ken, your Dad's truck looks as if it's on the way to a show in that photo. What "sprucing up" would it need beyong a little soap and water?

This is quite a thread. The detailed information makes for some great reading and it appears some valuable contacts have been made. Excellent.

Welcome to BMT. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we would love to see whatever pictures you choose to share.

They take credit for "going green" as if they took it upon themselves to reduce emmissions and were not forced by law. The ferry vs. I-95 comment is BS as well, it's obviously a self-serving decision. "Copar Quarries has gone green! Our new dump trucks are fuelled with an additive called DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), which allows the diesel fuel to burn cleanly with virtually no emissions. The exhaust is actually cleaner than the air we breathe! In addition to cleaner exhaust, we at Copar have taken steps toward making some of our major roadways a safer place. All of our Long Island deliveries are made by putting our trucks on the ferry. This not only saves time, but also adds no additional congestion to Interstate 95 in Connecticut and the Long Island Expressway in New York."

Great pics, as always. And speaking of assholes and headlights. the latest stoopid driver phenomenon comes as a result of of taller, albeit safer, jersey barriers on divided highways. It seems that John Q. Fourwheeler cannot make the connection between marker lights and an oncoming vehicle. I get hit with highbeams all night because my headlights are not visible to cars heading in the opposite direction.

Good call on the ex-Celli. I'll take it a step further and say that's an IHOP in the background.

The price went up as soon as I moved from there. I'm not a Native American, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. What does that get me? I've been spending a helluva lotta money on friggin' Holiday Inns and have yet to see a payoff.

I hope you can be talked into keeping it as a show piece if that's practical in your situation. Either way, good luck in your new venture.

Happy Veterans Day and a big THANK YOU to all who served.

I looked at every photo on that site after checking out the B model. They're all works of art but the '69 SS 396 is a masterpiece. Maybe I'm partial to that one because that will always be my favorite year for Camaros and Firebirds.

At least we now know the definition of Dhimmitude. Somehow, I don't think we've seen the last of that word.

Wow, that is pretty stupid neat! I like the Sweet Baby Ray's sauce but I didn't have enough for my chicken one day and had to throw a layer of Jack Daniels sauce on top. Somehow the two combined tasted better than either one individually.

Kudo's to Jo for the cash find. It's always nice to find money, especially your own. I used to see Dewitt in the Hunts Point area quite a bit. The had plain jane, red Freightliner cabovers with big, ugly, black and white name decals on the doors and the trailers were stainless steel reefers. There was something cool about the way it all looked as a combo. A Volvo passed me about 11-12 years ago and I gave the driver a shout on the cb when I saw the LG Dewitt name on the door. He said they had downsized and were basically just pulling broker freight.

They do some amazing work. I like the size of the extended cab.

"There is no way, no way, that you could come from my loins."

That's false advertising. You shoulda taken it back and demanded they fix it while it was still under warranty.

Welcome! You're truck is likely a CH613. You've come to the right place for help, unfortunately my area of expertise is limited to spotting typos. If you can provide some details of the problems you're having I sure you'll start seeing some responses in no time.

The rumor has been debunked by Snopes.com and the like. What I don't understand is why people start this nonsense when the truth is screwed up enough as it is.

Sorry I can't help you but.... WELCOME BACK!

That would be a first. That wouldn't. The radiator needs to be replaced and they had some trouble finding one.. It was supposed to come in today.

Gotta watch out for them "forlorn looking bigfoot wanna-be's". There was one a few years back that scammed an Illinois homeowner out of a free meal by pretending to get stuck in his yard, and that con man also used a Peterbilt. It seems no one suspects any wrongdoing when a Pete needs a tow.
