Well I have resigned myself to thinking that if "Gorilla Tape" is good enough to repair Other Dog's blow up dolls, it's good enough for the ole "Trusty, yet Crusty" Dodge.
I'll get more tape.
Rob
cain't beat that gorilla tape.

About 4 months ago there was a guy on this site in the Hudson Valley of NY state had a white 78 F- model 237 5 speed single axle (was a tandem)for sale for $3200 then i saw it listed later for $2800 it looked pretty decent. the phone # 845 883-5287 his name is Mike. Ron
Ah-hah!..finally found it. Don't know if this truck is still available, I also saw it somewhere for sale cheaper, but it really doesn't look bad for the price.Probably was listed in Wheels of Time or something.

Good spare tire, jack, lug wrench, cell phone. I've never been broke down on the road with the exception of stripping off a tire once many years ago. Good maintenance helps a lot there. In the wreckers always carried a basic hand tool kit, couple different sized pry bars, spare gasoline and diesel cans, (full), and of course a couple hammers large and small. I'll probably add to this as I put a truck on the road again.
Rob
Jeff told me I should carry a gallon of gas too-just in case the truck catches fire.

Hey Ernie,congrats on the new addition! sounds like a hell of a deal! i hope you can figger out out to get some pictures of it on here,i would sure like to see it.I have seen some of the heavy haulers use a fifth wheel like the one you described,like superdog said,they were used for going over rough terrain,usually pulling a lowboy. I was going to PM you anyway,seen something that might be of interest to you, WWW.Firstgeartrucks.com (curtis collectables)has a Mack granite model in Colonial colors,your old outfit no? i thought you might like it,its a little on the pricey side! but sure look good on your desk! just go to that site,click on granite mixers you can read all about it,i could'nt get the linky thing to work,not very good at all this computer BS!..........Mark
That's where I got my Pre-Mix B-model mixer.It was $59.00 when I got it,now it's $99.00.

All reasonable equipment to have...but what are the rolling papers for?
-
That's one other than a Mack I'd have. Fraid I'd have to ditch the rear fender though as I've never really been fond of the style.
Looks like a really nice restoration.
Wonder how it'd look with a Volvo grille????? I'd make him a good deal on one!!!
Rob
Kinda like this-

heh heh get him Tom, get him! heh heh,,,randyp
I don't think there's really such a thing as the english thievenizing machine he claims to have.
-
That's right. I typed the word Peterbilt into my english language Thevenizing machine and after several agonizing moments waiting for it to compute and simplify the translation, it spit out a single word response:
Walk
Rob
I knew this was gonna be a good one.
Take that!

"Sent by a friend."
Ya, right. It's always a "friend" that surfing the net for this stuff.

I agree,having a horse is a lifelong,expensive proposition! the care/upkeep has put more than a few folks in "the poorhouse"! but ya' gotta' do what ya' gotta' do! glad all went well with the trip,had just about enough of driving in the winter weather this year! seems everywhere i've been this winter there has been a blizzard! i'm thinking about selling my truck,going to work for Hatcity,how hard can it be pickin' up a couple stumps here and there? all i'll need is for him to buy me a new Titan,full benefits,$1800/2000 (cash) a week,i'd be willing to put in at LEAST 2 hours a day,1-2 days a week,maybe a little more if room/board (beer) is included,sounds like a deal to me!...................Mark
I picked up a USA Today Wednesday and an article in it about the weather said that over 70% of the U.S. was snow covered, and every state in the lower 48 reported snow on the ground-except one.
You are correct,that would be Florida!

That appears to be the current state of "cool" so,i guess that makes me out of touch as well! i always liked the 69 front end treatment better than the 68,my dad had a 69 very similar to this one,cept' his had a black vinyl top,425,four-speed....which was replaced with a 70 buick estate wagon when my younger brother arrived.....this is what that car SHOULD look like!...................Mark
That looks lot like the one a fellow known as "Sweet Pea" had when I was growing up in Cumberland county. It had a 455 Olds engine, and I think it was a 4 speed, but i'm not sure.It was a terror on the streets, even being basically stock, and guys would come from all over to race him,and they usually lost. I remember when he blew the engine in it one time, and he had a guy named Max rebuild it at Cumberland Auto Service. As soon as he finished the engine they took it down rt. 60 from Cumberland headed east just as wide open as it would run for miles.60 is arrow straight,just a little hilly,almost to the Powhatan co. line and they just matted it the whole way,then turned around and came back the same way,wfo!
That's not the recommended practice, but he never blew the engine again.

Never thought sand could be useful in that application but I guess you learn something new every day.
Rob
Good idea, probably better than using a fixed rope and crampons to get up on that.
-
I need to figure a way to bottle all this and sell it...they be sum funny muh-fuggahs on here!

I'm a member too and had to jump through lots of hoops to post a picture of a steerable dolly I used to pull that was made out of a Mack truck chassis.Then after I jumped through all the hoops I still couldn't post the picture.
I've sent them ATHS Truck Show pictures that are posted there-and they're posted through someone else's name,they never even told me thanks,go to hell,kiss their ass...nothing. I'll keep reading the magazine and going to a show when I can but I don't even bother looking at the ATHS website anymore.
