Mine's a '65 and it has the closed air cleaner. Has a square plug on top, Old Bill told me that was for using ether shots that you used to be able to get.

yep, it's all true- came in on the ol' super secret spy satellite data download.

What really happened here- "Robert" is driving along a deserted country road to avoid the scales on the big road, as he is grossing 90,000+ with a load of corn. He stops in the road to pee and when he tries to take off again he forgets to put the transmission in the low side and stalls the truck. When he tries to restart the truck the starter drive sticks so he has to shut it off again. The starter is burned up. So he calls his friend "Lawrence"... "Hey Lawrence, can you bring your pickup over here and give me a pull start-I need to get going asap here!" Lawrence says " sure thing Robert, i'll be right there". Moments later Lawrence pulls up in his crusty, rusty, but trusty 4-wheel drive Dodge pickup with a 900hp blown hemi engine in it and a tow strap capable of pulling the Titanic off the bottom of the ocean. He backs up to Robert and they connect the tow strap, leaving about 200 feet of slack in it so Lawrence gan get a good running start. Robert says to him "just give me a second to release the brakes". Lawrence thought he said "OK, floorboard it Lawrence". The End

I'm glad too! good luck with it.

First thing I did was look in the book too. The picture in the book looks like it was taken in the same spot, you can see the same bridge behind it.

reminds me of what my friend Larry Wales told me when I bought the mixer. I was looking at buying 2 single axle B-61s. One was $1200, the other was $1000. My plan was to take the two and make one. He saw the mixer, asking price was $6500, and he said by the time I was done i'd have spent more than that to have one of the B-61s in as good a shape as the mixer already was, so I bought the mixer. He used to own an LJ tractor and a B-model dump truck in Massachusets, and new where to look for rust around the bottom of the cab that I would never have even thought about.

hey Bob, where ya' been so long? Ain't heard from randyp lately either.

Well said. I grew up on the farm, and we hunted. Ate venison, squirrels, rabbits, and the occasional wild duck or quail. We raised hogs and hog killing time was a major deal- and a lot of work. There was the killing- my uncle always did that- then came the scalding, scraping, gutting, cutting up, slicing, grinding, curing, and smoking and everybody helped with that. We also raised tame rabbits for a while- they're mighty tasty too!

I'm actually a peta supporter myself. That's "people eating tasty animals", not that other one.

hmmmm- wonder if that's really Rob, or jerky connisewer Nikki?

A guy just sent me a picture of my old unit at Truck Enterprises. He had just polished it. Apparently the man who told me he was buying it did not, so it's still available!

I thought NOS meant "not on sale".

And lest anyone think i'm anti-union, I am not. They were started for a good and necessary reason, to protect the worker. Now I think it's swung way too far to the other side. Must be a happy median in there somewheres...

I wear the same buckle every day!

oh. by the way, it's doing it again. Maybe I should check another site to see if it does it...hmmmm...hotasianmidgetsdot

Welcome to tha' club!

Back on IE now, was gonna try what bluebonnet said, but now it's not doing it.

Thank you very much indeed gentlemen- and same to you and yours.

Farmington,eh? Do you know rhasler?

I'm back- on firefox. no blue words, no underlined words...hmmmm-what could it mean, if anything?..I'm turning around, going back home. And I was almost to the bridge.

Hi there hatcity..."save" is blue and underlined in your post...going to find nearest bridge now. Later y'all.

Nice red R-model.

Nice B- but how do you see where you're going at night?

Geez!..Thanks Pawel, "please" is blue and underlined in your post on my end! The box that opens says "answer this one question and win a free I-Pad". I'm not about to open it though! I'm on Internet Explorer now - maybe I should go to Firefox and see if it's the same.

Well, that's kind of what i'm saying about unions- they have no work ethic, they don't care about "the common good", they just want all they can get for doing little or nothing, and screw everybody else. The old "that's not my job" mentality. They could not care less if I sit at their facility all evening and half the night waiting to get loaded, but they still expect me to deliver 500 miles away at 7:00 am the next morning- and they will not work throught their break, or 2 minutes late to load a truck, because it's in their contract that they don't have to.
