  1. Ha-ha! Full would probably be more valuable. But, I think he realizes empties will be easier to ship!
  2. Got a guy here collecting the Bud Light NFL commemorative cans. He has a few from NY area, and from the west coast. But, he doesn't have any from the northern, central, or deep south teams. Anybody want to collect some and send them down here?
  3. These are the "crossover" cables that go from the starter to the Right-Hand battery box. I was only running batteries on the left side, and removed the cables. When I sold the truck, the new owner never picked up the cables. Need whatever $ it will take to ship them, and a few bucks to make me not regret selling them instead of recycling them! Anything reasonable will be accepted...really!
  4. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Dogs. My R only had 3 wires total, I believe, doing the brake/tail/turn duties. Spent a lot of time on an old R with air steering. Great on the road...kinda painful in a tight spot!
  5. To 600's point... I have several 1/34 scale B and R models from FirstGear. Also have several of the 1/25 scale "High Detail" B models. I'd give my eye teeth if they would put together a run of the R models in that larger, more detailed scale. Maybe a BMT edition?!!!! They say they'll consider making anything...for a fee. Maybe one of the "o-fficials" here should call FirstGear, and discuss an R-series with them? I'll sign up for the first run!
  6. This gold dog thing comes up pretty regularly. I'm glad somebody posted all that detail on dates! Seems like I am constantly having an argument with somebody or another about what the gold dogs meant! Funny thing is, they are usually ALL right...depending on the age of the truck. I'm old, so gold dogs meant Maxidyne power. All that newer stuff is for you younger whipper-snappers!!!

  8. Oh yeah. He apparently didn't realize it was on fire till he stopped. He got out, saw it, & reported it to one of our guys who called the fire department. Then, everybody stood & watched it burn. I wasn't at the dock when it came in. I heard 2 loud "booms" & went to see what was up. It was mostly smoke at that point. They kept it from spreading, but the tractor was toast.
  9. Truck showed up at the plant...on fire!
  10. Sorry. Too late!
  11. Huh-huh-huh! He said "hammer"... That's cool, Beavis!
  12. Truck's gone to a new home, locally. I can visit if I get lonely.
  13. That you, Vinny? Sorry, 'Dog! Couldn't help myself!
  14. LOTS of discussions on here about the door differences!!! The difference in the door SHELL is just the hole for the lock.
  15. Welcome to the world of Dogs! There are lots of parts interchangeable between F, R, & U models. The F & R doors are the same. So is the RH U door. Frames are also the same between lots of those. So, power steering components can come from those same models. I have a document somewhere which tells which air compressors and pumps can be used. 11R22.5 rims & tires will fit the spiders that came with 10.00-20s. More to come...
  16. ..."curb horsepower"... I like that! Can't argue with that! Even John Force said that flames on a race car made it go faster.
  17. ANY back-pressure down-stream from a turbo hurts it. The less back-pressure, the better. The more free-flowing the exhaust, the more the turbo spins. Whether or not you would actually FEEL the difference is unknown. You might. You might not. It depends largely on whether the current 4" pipe creates any back-pressure. And, still having a 4" section might defeat some of the gains the 6" would give. Or, it might not. Again, it depends on whether the current pipes cause any restriction or not. 6" does look cool, though!
  18. I'll send you a message. Check your inbox shortly.
  19. That R makes my mouth water...
  20. Or, somebody on here could take it...
  21. Think I'll list it on Craigslist. Seems to get more traffic.
