    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?

    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.

    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.

    Ex farm pick up tank?

    That has to be a loaded Sasquatch. I think they start around 31 or 32 in States. Pix of 150?..Power?

    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.

    Hmnn...Do they still "walk the plank" ?? Might be fitting😎

    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.

    And what do you see regarding the senate race? If Mills is that unpopular hopefully it will help Collins
  14. Red Horse
    Yeah Jim but think of the money they save on charcoal or propane-just flip the steak on the grill!

    And I piss and moan when its 90!😎 Never bitch about winter-too cold? Put another layer on

    Excellent U-Moss included! I think I would rather deal with "southern moss" than Northeast salt! looking forward to the 200😎

    Mercedes was failing? KSC- you think so? I guess in my mind, if you believe Hebe's original "pronouncement " that the Ford purchase was a good thing because they were the "vocational leader" sounds like the Bullet was a good compliment to the rest of the Sterling line. Of course when you look at it in terms of conditions today, F'liner is the "vocational" king. That 300 million they paid Ford was the best way they could have bought market share. I was surprised they kept Sterling going as long as they did. Let's see, kind of like the situation Mack is in right now.

    Hah! You are a cynic-but you are probably correct!😎

    And what is your loader?? Sell your truck already or keeping your options open? In any case congrats! Don't know if you were at this point but my view has always been, when that clock goes off in the AM and your first reaction is.."Oh shit",...time to move on.

    Agree on the grill. I miss the old days when a set of shutters was the "grill". When the HX first came out I thought there was a version that had like a cross hatched "wire" grill-looked good IMO-but lately seems like they all have the Seeburg Jukebox grill. Then again, nice that Seeburg could stay in business building something😎

    Weren't they built in Somerville??
  22. Red Horse
    No clue on the Hydrovac but the truck is a beauty! Only question I have is does it have enough power to turn that big rubber😎. Spokes forever!
  23. Red Horse
    spent some bucks on that ol' F-8. looks like it has hood hinges and latches on rear! About the same interior cab space as a B😎
  24. Red Horse
    What could be better (IMO)- a Louisville with spokes! Where were these right hand Fords built

    Interesting-first post was city of Bridgeport . Next photo New Haven FD. Must have been a state contract- or "monkey see-monkey do". Never knew that dry powder was used in such large quantities on trucks. Went to my share of fire schools and learned just how effective a 20 pd. ansul dry powder could be. we also had plenty of 150 lb wheeled Ansul dry powders in close proximity to loading racks.
