other dog

I'm with you on that Mark, i've had A Dodge and several Ford pickups and cars, but all the "hotrods" in my younger days were Chevys- a '72 350 Nova, a '70 Chevelle SS with a 402 big block, and even the Scout mud bogger had a 355 small block Chevy with a turbo 350 transmission. They all ran great.

that's why you need a fan with the "light breeze" setting. you have to special order them. or you could rig up a stationary bike with a belt driven shop fan and have your helper run the fan while you weld.

Have a fan blowing the fumes away when you're cutting and welding galvanized steel, they can make you sick. If you're using a mig welder you might just set it on "light breeze".

yes, i'd certainly eat it.

I don't know from first hand experience Mack, but I did hear a truck driver say that years ago, so I assume it must be true.

It's a new one on me too.

Hey Barry- I can not seem to post a picture for some reason, so I e-mailed this one to other dog to forward to you. Here's my secret symbol so you'll know it's really me Barry, and not other dog up to any stoopid tricks. Rob

I like that picture- a working truck. You can't keep 'em clean all the time!

Jo's son Billy came over today. He lives in Gloucester,Va, down near the beach. He told me he had some crabs when he got here, so I pulled him aside and told him "don't worry-that's no big deal at all! I'll tell you what to do. You don't need to go to any doctor, or go get any special creams or lotions. Just use diesel fuel." He said "huh? wtf are you talking about?!!" I said " there's no need to be embarassed, just get a little diesel fuel, rub it all over your junk, it'll kill them bastards right now, if not sooner, and it won't hurt ya" He said "no, I got some crabs out of our crab pot right before I left, we can cook them on the grill". So I said "oh...I knew that"...I've never been so embarassed.

Just do like I do-I've always posted serious and/or helpful topics, but then I get to thinking "well, maybe that's the wrong information". Then I just "edit" the post and put something stupid, usually with a hot babe picture, much like Mark does. Try it, there's no such thing as too many hot babes. I'm not saying any of Mark's posts are stupid, like this one, only that there's no such thing as too many hot babes.

uh...well, just never mind then, if you don't want to turn the truck upside down...that's the only ideer I could come up with.

Yeah!

about time you were posting more scantilly clad babes in your posts again, i've missed them!

I always liked "the perfect specimen" joke. Back before little Johnny's parents were steam rollered, little Johnny and little Debby were outside playing one day. Little Debby said "Johnny, what's a penis?" Little Johnny said "I don't know, i'll go ask my mom" Little Johnny runs inside and says "ma, what's a penis?" Ma says "well, it's...uh...-go ask your dad, he can tell you better than I can" So he goes and finds Dad- "Dad, what's a penis?" Dad says "well son, it's- wait, I can show you better than I can tell you". So pop pulls it out and said "now THIS is a penis- and I must say, it's a perfect specimen of one too!" Little Johnny said "OK Pop" and runs back outside. Little Debby said "well, did you find out what a penis is?" Little Johnny said " yeah, but I can show you better than I can tell you" So he pulls it out and shows it to little Debby and said "now this is a penis- and if it was about 2 inches shorter it would be a perfect specimen of one too"

I was delivering in Romulus Michigan, then went to Detroit to load lumber. I was listening to Howard Stern on the radio, and he stayed on the air long after his show was supposed to be over that day. It just all seemed unreal until I stopped in Bedford, Va. the next morning and bought a USA Today and saw the pictures on the front page.

Here's a nice B-model Barry- not mine, but my picture. It's the one in Fairplain, W.V. They let me look at it and take pictures of it. My best mixer pictures are similar to the one used before, but I can go clean it up and pose it in front of a Peterbilt or something. It has new cab lights and a new fuel filter on it.

I remember a guy from Roanoke that had one hauling chips from Dillwyn, Va. to Westvaco in Covington around '79 or '80. Had a 220 Cummins in it. It wasn't this one, his was green, otherwise they looked about the same. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/keith_cantone.htm

I was driving down I-79 in West Virginia the other day, minding my own binness as usual, when I too heard what sounded like a tremendous explosion come from under the hood. I knew right away what it was though- the air to hose had blown again. Pulled over to fix it, I always carry a spare and clamps, but the hose was OK, one of the clamps had broken and the hose blew off. I put it back on and put a new clamp on it and continued on with no further difficulties. Speaking of batteries, I got my secondary filter on the mixer today, had to go get one fuel line made. "Found" enough fittings at the shop to hook everything up, then when I tried to start it it wouldn't start. I jumped it off the pickup and it fired right up. I probably just need new batteries too, because these batteries have been in it since I had it, and they've been run down too many times. They were so dead one time they wouldn't light up a test light but the trickle charger brought them back to life. That was when I put the battery disconnect switches on it.

I don't remember the year the last one was made, but I do remember reading in my Mack book that they made a few after production officially ended. You could still order one for a while after the F-model came out.

it was confusing with no pictures, word bubbles, and lines but I think if I go with the second picture it'll be right. You're talking about this most rearward port right, not the other most rearward port.

so my last picture would be correct, correct?

how's this? I think i've got it.

why didn't I pay more attention, or at least take a picture, when I bypassed the filter in the first place?

the line from my tank goes right into the primary filter inlet. the outlet line from the primary is the the one shown on the bottom there. so, what should I do next? I can take that line off at the bottom, run it into the inlet, then run an outlet line into the front port. then what do I do with the transfer pump where the line goes now?

So sorry to disappoint you both. See my fuel filter post to see just how little I know.
