NO DON"T. IT"S A TRICK

LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY

great day!..you could press her face in dough and make gorilla cookies! But except for that head...hmmmm, not too bad-I prob'ly would

Well, shhhhhoot...I think i'll go to the tractor pull over here on Pigeon Run rd. next weekend.

Carry jumper cables in the truck with you. If you need a jump, just hook up to the truck next to you. Don't let the driver catch you, though...

Seriously, though, I put new batteries in mine a couple months ago...and I went with the cheapest ones I could find...because even cheap new batteries will out-perform old dead ones.

I also carry jumper cables in the truck with me.

good answer right there! I got batteries from NAPA for my unit and they had a pretty good price on them too...but that was 5 or 6 years ago, they may have gone up by now. Everything else has.

those are good looking trucks. what were the other heavy trucks that dodge had was they D 1000s or something my papaws brother had one that was difrent from the bighorn and it had the same specs as his big horn.. joe

Here's a couple of 900 Dodge's I saw in Troutman, N.C. a few years ago. They were out of Georgia and 2 of the best looking trucks there.

I always liked the looks of the Bighorns. They were ahead of their time in looks, like a Diamond T, and were a better looking truck than most of the trucks on the road today.

Y'all done good. Thats a heck of a find, in good shape, not broken.

Can't beat the day i got half a birthday cake AND pepporoni pizza on the same street

.

Really, knew a guy in CT. had his son helping one time. Kid put his lunchbox in the hopper. Going down the road, kid starts shuffling stuff, reaches in and pulls out a sandwich. Started eating it, caused an accident due to car following, guy puked.

HK might know or remember-Patsy Domain

I'm kinda likin' it so far.

Tom- glad you were able to make it there. Know it means alot to you. Truck looks good with new wheels.

BBQ MMMMMMMMMMMMm

Mark- keeping a good looking truck is just as important as delivering on time and no damage. Its the FIRST thing a customer sees.

Thank you.

(expletive)!..never heard that story. maybe I should "accidently" break it and take it back. naw, that wouldn't work, that's bad luck too. well, it's her mirror.

Just made a trip over to the dumpster. Loaded both ways this time, no deadhead. Dropped off some trash and reloaded a nice looking mirror somebody left on the ground and brought it home. Wasn't even me this time, Jobyna wanted it-she's already got it cleaned up and setting in the bedroom. Not bad looking at all.

I always thought the 3000 white was a pretty "interesting" truck,way ahead of its time.....did you guys know there was also a sleeper version? they were pretty popular with moving and storage companies in their day, i used to see quite a few of them when i was growing up here on the east coast, seems most every trucking outfit had them at one time or another!............Mark

why sure

Just got back from Toga, Va. a little while ago. Been there most of the day. Pretty good time, and for a good cause. Didn't look like as good a turnout this year as there has been, "...but with this economy..." as all the politicians like to say, it wasn't bad either. Not as many vehicles in the car show, but what was there was nice. More motorcycles than i'd ever seen before, and quite a few tractors in the tractor show.

As for the mixer, it's still got a little shake and shimmy, but nowhere near as bad as it was. Almost a pleasure to drive!

2 new steer tires should fix that, still got bias ply tires on the front. But it ran great.

Here's some pictures of bikes, cars, babes, and barbecue. They cooked 3 hogs all night, then they took all the meat and chopped it up and put it in these aluminum pans with more bbq sauce and let it simmer on the grill until it's done. They also had barbecued chicken, sausage bistits, and hot dogs.

Thought Rob was there...

No, she wasn't there, but I said babes, and since this is the hottest babe i've ever seen...

The White shop was eventually torn down. Later, the property was bought and a retro 50's diner was built there. When Mrs. Martin died several years later, the warehouse (across the street from the shop), was torn down and a Starbucks was built there. The diner was kind of nice, the Starbucks I have never been to. Probably never will.

Never been in a Starbucks either...probably never will.

I always liked the 3000 Whites too. I've heard them called them a "suicide White" but that is a neat looking cab.

you're right, let's get back on track. Hmmm...I dunno, this looks kinda painful. Interesting though.

Do I see a pattern? Rob, is your hose dried up to and leaking?

you know what they say- "use it or lose it"

they even have a website-

At last- I now have 8 brand new used tires and wheels on that cement mixer truck! Finally got the last 3 wheels from Litchford's Garage at 8 this morning, then it was a mad scramble to get them on the truck. First I finished painting the wheels, putting the white strip on them, then I greased the truck while the wheels were drying, then... then the truck wouldn't start.

It would start and run a few seconds and cut off. I took the filter off and it wasn't half full of fuel, so I poured it out, refilled it and put it back on. Starts up, runs a few seconds, then cuts of. Took the line off from the tank to the filter and it looked dry. Tom came out of the shop, he mounted all the tires on the wheels for me, and said "there's the problem,you're leaking fuel". So I jumped down and looked and the old braided line that comes out of the tank was leaking where it makes a bend and goes up under the cab. It wasn't leaking at first because i'd been all up under it greasing it just minutes before and there was no leak. I think the hose was so old it was probably sucking together on the inside.

So I took the line off and went to Lynchburg to Ferebee-Johnson to get a new fuel line. The man said "what'd this come off of?". I said "a '65 Mack". He said "looks like it's been on there since '65". I said "probably has".

Came back and put it on, got it started with some ether, backed up to the shop door, and went to jacking up, taking off, putting on, and sweating my ass off. Finished about 4:30, then I washed at it some, I was dog tired...still am. This would-should-have been done Wednesday, but the delay getting the wheels put me in a bind.

Got 8 good looking 11R-22.5 Bridgestones on it now though. They're about 2 inches shorter than the 11:00-20's I took off. One of them was a Sears by the way. Don't remember ever seeing a Sears truck tire before-might be a '65 model too. Was gonna drive it down the road to check them out, but there was no way I was gonna try to get in 460 that time of day, especially on Friday.

To think, I could have stayed quiet and never mentioned anything bout pictures, now youve gone and got Other Dog getting creative again Mark....randy (dont care who you are,,heh heh,,thas funny)

whew!..glad you've got a good sense of humor and didn't send a posse after me...you didn't, did you?

heh,,,you just aint right,,,LOL,,,randy

you haven't seen scary yet-

Probably trying to remind you to be careful in yours (no hot rodding once you get those new wheels)!

managed to get 5 today, painted 4 of them. I went ahead and paid for all 8 since they said they'd have the other 3 this evening. Went back twice this evening and there was no one to be seen, and no wheels either. Jimmy's already picked out some nice looking Bridgestone tires for me.

My fingers are getting tired typing so hopefully 2 More are coming.

mike

of all the things they could have turned over for the wrecker demonscration, why'd they have to pick a mixer?

I may have a set of wheels. Call me 919-932-3344, 24/7. David

Thanks David, i've got a few leads to call this morning. If I don't come up with anything today i'll do that. Raleigh's not that far from here, probably easier than having Rob import them from Chicago.

Struck out on all my leads. Called Bebo back last and he said he'd have them ready by mid day today-but i've heard that one before!

Do all Peterbilts come pre-loaded with dope for the drivers to smoke?? Or was it just yours?

PVS

Ain't been in a Peterbilt all week. Don't smoke any dope anyway. Tried it in the '70's, like everybody else, but I never inhaled.

I'm going crazy on vacation over the wheel deal. Where've you been so long Paul?..we've missed you

What did you find good in raleigh?.......Mark

I'm just sayin'...

NEVER trust ANYONE who says trust me!............could lead to trouble!..trust me...Mark

no need to worry...trust me.
