  1. Did not know how they matched the drivers to the trucks. Seems crappy not to let the senior drivers pick first.
  2. Jeff is the man! But some of the funniest ones we make up ourselves. If you think a "seven course meal" is a six-pack and a 'possum... If you can name more than 20 NASCAR champions but only 5 presidents... If your car is constantly riding on more than 2 mini spares...
  3. Ron White or Bill Engvall for VP? Either way, they get my vote!
  4. Hey! I work for Dodge! Make bearings now. Used to make the couplings. Not sure if we make anything that is a direct interchange for that style.
  5. Yeah, here's something on that... I can't remember where I found some of the other stuff. I'll keep looking. https://www.historync.org/laureate - C Grier Beam.htm http://www.beamtruckmuseum.com/
  6. I see a Carolina truck in that picture. Carolina was a pretty cool story. Seems like I read somewhere that Mr. Beam got some of his earliest loads from right here in Marion, hauling goods out of the cotton mills for Mr. Cross. In fact, that may have been why he bought his second truck. Hated to see them go belly-up. I think it was ABF that gobbled them up and closed them down. I'm pretty sure ABF owns Southeastern, too. Carolina and Southeastern used to be everywhere when I was a kid. Lots of fallen flags...
  7. Could you elaborate on that a bit, Bob? What happened?
  8. "If more than half of your social media posts get removed for obscenity..."
  9. "If your weed eater has hooves and horns..."
  10. "If you know every labor law but never work..."
  11. You've earned every accolade that has been offered on this thread. A lot of work went into preserving a piece of our history, and you've created something you (and all of us) can be proud of. Can't thank you enough for doing the work and letting us ride along on the journey. I'd really love to see this thing in person some day.
  12. Wasn't there a different shape on the bottom of the U/DM driver's side door? Some sort of a contour that wasn't there on the F/R door? My memory is fuzzy on that, though.
  13. After my Mom retired, she said she didn't know how in the world she ever had time to work.
  14. That's a good, solid-looking truck, man! You know how I love the green dash stuff!
  15. Increase free pedal, correct. As clutches wear, the free travel gets less, making the pedal "tighter". So, yes, add free travel.
  16. I don’t know crap about this computerized stuff. But the OP’s question about the “unused sensor” and the question about the “derate” programming seem to deserve some thought. But, again, I don’t know s#!t about this one.
  17. Do you know if it is a single or double disc clutch? Mack clutch or Eaton/Spicer? That can make a huge difference in where to start. I posted some pages on here a while back showing how to adjust the linkage on a B model. Check out this link...
  18. "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign..." That's great stuff, right there! Doesn't seem like it was all that long ago, either. I sit and listen to the Sirius XM radio a lot. All that great stuff from the '60s, '70s, and (early!) '80s! The songs felt good. Nobody was hating anybody. Seemed like the artists were enjoying the music. Oh, and I could understand what they were saying! We could do a whole thread on old music! Anybody want to kick that one off? LOL!
  19. The only reason I still try to do whatever work I can still do is that I want it done right. I hate it when other people work on my stuff. They just don't take the same care with it that I do. I hate doing it. But, I hate having it messed up even worse!
  20. I hate it for everybody involved.
  21. There are a few roaming around town here lately too.
