Maybe since were in an "Economic Downturn" they figure they would cut you a break....lol. On the other note that does sound like B.S.

You sure you don't need a '52 Ford to practice on. I'm slowly gettin started on it, the teardown is the easiest part. I don't have alot of money to throw into it so I'm starting with the brakes and working my way up. I already sanded the cab completely, and I'm puttin my sandblaster to work with the frame and few other little odds and ends.

Yeah I thought that was you behind me buddy. Sorry my cb quit working that day & my cellphone was dead so I couldn't touch base with ya...........Anyway that boat looks like a rich man's bass boat to me..lol

Amen Brother - Bulldog Man

Man that would be awesome to have those trucks.....

I'm gonna have to hire you Paul to redo my Ford, I'm just moving to slow it seems.

Green Giant I couldn't agree with you more. On that matter I agree with you to Paul

You and my dad woulda got along great. He always loved to keep his trucks spotless inside and out. Every saturday was the "Wash dad's truck day" which was always a family event. Nice to see a good lookin bulldog still workin hard, and lookin good. Nice wash job bud, I guess the DOT don't give you to hard of a time.....lol. Be safe buddy

Welcome to the site Jim, heard alot about you "Good Things" from Other Dog. Looks like a helluva cheeseburger, bet you didn't eat for 2 days afterwards....lol

Imagine how pissed that snake would be after a couple of hundred miles.....

We definetly need more sunshine.......on the other hand we have been steady, with 3 houses were supplying and a couple more coming up were not doin too bad. One day it's dead as hell couple days later were runnin our a$$es off....

Those 3408's are iron clad motors..I like the old W-900a's always a personal favorite of mine. One thing about the KW's is the doors will interchange, cause theres a '69 narrow hood w-900 sittin in jellico with Daylight doors on it. The owner bought it just for the motor and said the doors was from a '94 t-600......kinda crazy......anyway we need some pics of the 'ol girl and pics of your progress on the B model.

Well, i would generally comment as being surprised, but I talked to ya on and off over the trip so......Glad you made it back though, bet your glad to rest at home.

Too bad all that gold will be covered in grease, but you'll be able to feel that money when your driving around. Sad to hear about the R-600, Very decent lookin truck and good price on her too. If i had the cash i definitely would buy it. I think it's case the economy, everyone's holding onto their cash. Would make a nice little single axle dump, or continue into the lowboy business. Hope everything's doing fine elsewhere up north and you guys have a good one.....

Don't buy one with a Fiberglass handle. I always help the drivers that deliver to us, with their tarps and straps, etc. I always take the forklift and lift them onto the trailer. Just a way to help a fellow driver out.

Well if you guys need some lumber just call me I've went as far as Johnson City.....Are you thinking of driving the ice roads this year? Thankfully there wouldn't be any 4 wheelers in you way so tha would help

I myself has gotten more involved in politics than ever, right down to the township trustees, are county commissioners,s are about the most crooked, payed off bunch of lairs you have ever seen, if they get voted out they will make a job for them at the water or sewer dept. for more money than they were making, If you know the right person you have it made, your right we need to get people voted, fired and replaced

That's how it always is, Except they are strung out to the electric department around here. Put it this way my electric went from around 120.00 to 250.00 or so, when someone goes on vacation or there's raise we get a raise in our bill...

Suprisingly my BP was fine, "High BP runs in my family bad", my vision was the worst for me. Doctor told me on my first physical that i was overweight for my age, build and so on, Hell I didn't need a doctor to inform me of that....Any who when i went back in November I was fine. Are you on any BP medicines, or was you aggrevated that day???

I'd like to get a hat like that for work, kinda needed one today, 24 was the high and it's only 11 tonight.

Glad to hear your gettin to work Paul, the way i see it every little bit helps. Sounds like your coming along nicely on the b model. Hopefully i'm gonna acquire a '55 H-67. Gotta wait on the buyer for my old ford and the 3-53 detroit is already sold so hopefully i'll pull this off. You and the family have a good christmas and a safe one.

I really hate to hear that Paul, after 60 years your gonna have to close the doors. Were i work we have 18 stores out of the 18 we was in the top 5 when i started there, now where in the top 3. Funny how things can turn arund on ya, the only thing keepin our store open is 4 MAJOR builders that are runnin out of jobs at the end of this month. Well one will be done after the first of the year, another one has windows and doors ready for me to deliver whenever they say. The other 2 thinks they might have something else goin' and we have John Q public. When i started we was pullin in 250 customers a day, you couldn't think about settin down, now all we do is sit and possibly pull in 75 to 100. They layed one off outside already, now they are gonna lay one off inside. Well you get my point on this. Thing is I hate to see this, Tom's been settin at the house too, It's nice to have a break, but it's nice to have electricity too. I really hate to hear this Paul especially about a family business, hopefully everything will work out we are keepin positive at work and hoping this is just a really slow time. Paul we will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Good Luck buddy

Around 4:00 o'clock friday evening.....Kinda sad, but i worked for a guy like that, another bad part was he employed about 50 or so people. Hell I'd say we've all been down that road...lol

I say that acids on there for good then, your not gonna know what to do when you start driving that 386. Kinda like driving a T-800, still nice trucks though.

When did they move Florida? Sound like you had a decent week though. Gonna just go ahead and stick with the silver bullet for awhile 'eh? I don't blame ya cause it is a nice truck. If you quit breaking the windshields in it...lol. Are they really broke though?

You couldn't of said it any better guys. "Built Mack Tough" is a statement all in it's own. You never hear "built kenworth tough" because over the years Macks have proved theirselves to be tough, reliable trucks for any job you can give them. Go to Harlan, Ky. people are still using 1st generation R-models EVERYDAY. Welcome aboard Geon glad to have ya.
