Uhh, not quite my cup of tea. Here's my favorite, still got the cassette in my collection. A very good driving tape. http://youtu.be/SgIouUJp_s0 "she's got me hummin' like a Detriot Diesel"

I'd love to get myself a TIG machine. My ol Millermatic MIG works pretty good(when it wants to). The contactor sounds like a sledgehammer bang'n on the machine when you pull the trigger. I can lay a nice bead if I can see(damn eyesight and not enough light usually). I laugh and tell'm that, "Okay it's not pretty, but it AIN'T gunno break". I've taught myself to TIG at work(using the BIG machines). I got the idear, just don't do it enough to become proficient(ie: neat). Friend has a pair on new Miller machines(TIG and MIG). That MIG is so quiet you don't know it's running until you look up at the digital display. My rattles/shakes like a Model T LOL!!

The size of the chamber will depend on what brackets you have. Mine would accept 30/30's, but most don't.

Ahhh, I see he got smart and ran away from that one?? Gee, she seems like such a nice lady....................NOT. LOL!!!

Yup, my square tanks were rough. Had to fix the bottom of drivers side about 8 yrs ago. It was fine, then suddenly it was puking it's guts out. DOH!! The passenger tank went at the inside corner(under step plate). It was just barely seeping, leaving a damp spot on the side of tank. I got a strip of 1/8" material about 1 1/2" wide and laid it the whole width. Poured the coals and presto----no leaks.

I don't recall what batteries I had in my B model, but they lasted 10 yrs, before getting pretty slow and not dependable in my eyes. I ran 4 grp 31 which is way overkill for a 673, but what the hell they fit. I know only run two since the one battery box rotted out and never got it fixed. Two new ones turn it fine. I got Interstates now since I got a contact and got them at cost(like $60/ea). I hardly disconnect them(even winter), and would only randomly put a quick charge to them in the spring before getting truck out. Totally agree, deep cycles are not made for high draw situations. Only small, constant drain. I cringe when I see them put in drag cars.

Great!!! And no stories of walking for fuel??? Nice!

Ahhh, the plot thickens............................ When my buddy and I went to Way Cross, GA to pick up his toter home, we took his wifes Expedition with car trailer in tow. Put the Expy on the trailer for the ride home. Renting a car dolly would be a easy way to get car home. Even if it was a Uhaul car trailer for you Jeep? We left at dinner time, drove straight through the night(oh, make that I drove through the night...................there's a sucker born every minute), hooked up in the morning and made it home the following evening.

Thanks Don. I guess I'm not wanting something quite that large(couldnt afford to fill them!). 100 gals total is more my speed. I do like the steps he put on, that's kinda what I was picturing in my head.

They don't teach typing, as most kids today don't use but about 4 letters anyway! "U", "R" ,"2","BFF",,,,,,,,,,,,,um lets see, what other ones??? I took it in HS, thinking sophmore year. I was near top in my class at 60 WPM with only 1 mistake. Not quite as limber as I once was, but better then most that peck with two fingers. I used to marvel when they would show some guy doing near 100 wpm on an old MANUAL machine!!!! I learned on an IBM Selectric.

I use Photobucket to host my pictures, then just copy/paste the link to your post. I don't want to drag you through too much if they aren't what I'm looking for. It is just another "wannado" thing.

I'm thinking he's running away from the great white glare that is standing in the foreground............LMAO!!! Sorry, just had to man. Don't feel bad, I sport a pretty nice farmers tan myself LOL!!

Great work, I was checking over your pictures today.

Happen to have any pics? Basic dimensions?(dia and length), Idea on what you want for them?

Step tanks? I'd rather have just a plain tank, as they won't be under the cab.

I've had thoughts of trying to come up with a pair of 40-50 gal round aluminum tanks I could put on my truck. I'd like to get rid of the stock square tanks, replace them with step boxes(make the right side a battery box) and then hang the round tanks back under the bunk. I remember years back someone had a set of alum. diamond plate square tanks made for a B model. Neat, but kinda pricey I suppose. Not that my rusty hulk is worth all that. Just thinking out loud. Maybe someone has something thrown in the back forty that would work?

That is the lid that came with my riser. Still have it in the box.

There are "mistakes" and then there are "STUPID MISTAKES". A mistake is not looking where you walk and tripping. A stupid mistake is not looking where you are walking and falling into a gator pit. One allows you to get up and wipe yourself off and say "Gee, I better watch where I'm going". The second, if you're lucky enough to escape, allows you the same. But the odds are pretty slim. Hat just had a "stupid mistake" moment and was very lucky to walk away.

What about the story that hit the news last winter about the 18 yr old girl and the two hoodlems that broke into her trailer that she shot. I've got CRS, so can't recall what all transpired.

I'd like to have a set of door panels like that for my B since I'm doing all the tan vinyl inside to match the bunk.

I got mine from Matt Pfahl, was on Ebay when I saw it. Came with chrome stack and new top. I liked my big top better, as the one that came with it was the small rounded version. I'm thinking it was $150? Something like that. I wanted the tall version and it's not a std exhaust size. No braces on mine and it's not a problem for the last 5-6 yrs. Without the riser, if the passenger wing window was open too far it would bang into the lid when you opened the door fully. The lid had a good dent in it from years of that happening.

I still have my Lego's, Lincoln Logs, TinkerToys and Toggleblocks. I'm not too proud to play with them either.

That there van is a Beyuu-hog Van. That's slang for Buick whilst I was growing up. (with them fancy Roadmaster vents on the fenders)

Naw............one on the wheel, the other hang'n out the window wav'n traffic outta the way.............LOL!!! I come down the hill from Rittman heading towards the scalehouse hill and figured I'd try it out. Just doesn't accelerate too quickly at 75+, just kinda easing it up a bit at a time. Only about a mile of straight before the big hill and that hill really knocks the wind out quickly. A barndoor with only 180 hp doesn't go too fast!! Is kinda neat to be able to roll with traffic at 65-70, then throw'r in Double Boogie Overdrive and just ease on past them with RPM to spare. Of course once I hook on the trailer all these pipe dreams fade quickly LOL!!

I stretched the legs on my truck Sunday going to NEO meeting. I even strung it out in double OD to see if it would do it. Not sure what speed but likely about 75 before I ran out of straight level road. Still had 300 rpm to go. Had the radio on and coming home I heard a few comments about the pavement I was tearing up in a B model!! Dont think many have seen one running 75 before LOL!!
