  1. For sure that log truck Bullhead posted looks like it has same "DNA"
  2. No problem with it being an Autocar. My point this had to be a very expensive custom chassis- Have you ever seen an A-car configured like this? If wheelbase was the issue, why not the Xpeditor cab-still sold by "Autocar". So agreed-turning radius had to be great! Just don't wipe anything out with that 5 or 6' of nose extending beyond the front axle! Like I said, this had to be a very expensive truck. And 'Dave, you are fire professional- are not small department equipment purchases often done by a "truck committee"?
  3. Why??????? think of what that cost vs any other chassis- sounds/looks like a truck designed by committee😎
  4. I think that high cab version came out when they started offering 8v-71's as an option.
  5. Same truck-I think they eliminated the wrap around windshield with 64 model yr.
  6. Amen- I was going to add-..."three S's and a B"...for Bathtub.
  7. Brief experience in a Canary😎-that is Ryder rental NT-950, NH-250 , RT-910, Hendrickson extended leaf suspension. I thought it was a great driving truck-but for sure with those butterfly hoods and that doghouse, not something you wanted to work on.
  8. Whoever thought buying a truck would be better than investing in a CD😎
  9. Hmnn-might pass as a safety check in Turkey-but not even close here. Nice to see the "One Ford" concept in place here -that mirror control looks just like the one in my car!
  10. My bet is this truck will be going back to work. so for 120 g, what would you rather have-this Superliner or a 2020 collection of headaches-for another 50 g more?
  11. Nice looking B-75 in any case! Only experience I ever had was I had rented a good size Deutz powered boom lift to stain my house. I'm up in the air and all of a sudden rpms change and it starts smoking like crazy. I get down real quick and it wont shut off. I pulled the air intake hose off the air cleaner and jammed a rag in it. Rental outfit told me it had a cracked ring and was pulling oil.
  12. Very nice. I was just on You Tube and some Ford salesman did a survey of Ford service techs as to which engine they would pick if they were buying a 150. Hands down winner was the 5.0. This same guy did this same "survey" a year or two ago and that time 5.0 was also the winner. I think safe to say consistent reason was the simplicity of the 5.0 (Not that it's a '68 390!) vs the Ecoboosts. And none of them knocked Ecoboost-just that 5.0 got their vote on the fact no turbo in the picture.
  13. That has to be a loaded Sasquatch. I think they start around 31 or 32 in States. Pix of 150?..Power?
  14. Was that the one at Portsmouth Naval shipyard? Wonder what he got for a sentence.
  15. Well these two beauties are sitting on a transport this AM here in central Mass. Headed from New Hampshire to Utah. No V-8 badges so assuming 6 bangers.
  16. Hmnn...Do they still "walk the plank" ?? Might be fitting😎
  17. Agree-as for the A-car 100% American-as for the Binder, only 17% German-but better than 100%😎.. yah I know -its a world economy-still tough to accept that.
  18. Congrats on new babe as well as your son's obvious passion😎
  19. Its all in the spokes😎
  20. And what do you see regarding the senate race? If Mills is that unpopular hopefully it will help Collins
  21. Yeah Jim but think of the money they save on charcoal or propane-just flip the steak on the grill!
