That had to be a pricy conversion. looks like a nice job

Very good Paul. And along this line, the WSJ on Saturday covered an interview they conducted with Dr. John Ioannidis. He basically shoots holes in so many of the statistics that forecast gloom and doom and I think puts things in the right perspective. He is a professor at Stanford School of Medicine and in addition to being a medical guy, he understands statistics. One thing I never forgot from school...a tongue in cheek definition for "Statistics 101"...."How to Lie With Numbers". This guy IMO understands the medical issues, but also what constitutes valid statistical assumptions. Google him. One thing that pops up is an interview Mark Levin had with him.

Bet the mice are pissed off-just went through that drill with my Bronco😎 good luck

Well IMO how his ego gets in the way. He claims he said it with sarcasm. Unless you have OD'd on Trump Kool Aid big time, only a fool will buy that when you look at all the coverage. I think it was a crazy thought, but in any case, I think most people-at least many of us on this site-recognize he is always an outside of the box thinker-which is a plus IMO. This would NOT have been an issue had he simply said the next day....."yes, I said it, and I was raising a thought for the experts to address, what do I know? I raised it as a question". Such a response would have ended the discussion. Instead, in typical Trump fashion he has to bullshit his way out of it -when will he realize everything he says is subject to special attention to add to his list of "Lies". And speaking of lies, I think every time he uses a statistic in error, the loons add that to the "Lie" list. Case in point that I clearly remember- a couple of weeks ago he talked about Boeing making their specially modified 747 to move PPE supplies. He said.."biggest plane in the world -carries 63,000 lbs". Duh I think a 40 year old Herc does 42,000, C-17, 170,000 and a C-5 over 200,000! Now if Barry O said that, would not have mattered-but Trump-add it to the "lie" list. And then I have to listen to my wife of 50 years rant and rave about what an idiot he is. " And you are STILL going to vote for that liar?""

Beauty-Never saw a single axle Big R " r model" Seems like back then C model Fords were the city tractor of choice for them.

Kevin..Pay attention to the obits😎But I'm sure when that day comes the boys will have other ideas.

Well Rich it was on the back burner. Glad the wife and the boys kept nagging me. Once I saw it in daylight my attitude changed. I'm thinking-"where the hell did 22 years go??" Pay attention guys.

Well after 22 years dragged the 68 out of its corner of the barn. My son had been bugging me to get it going again and volunteered to do it in his barn-with my unskilled help of course. Stock 289, 3 on tree. Only thing I did to it was add two shocks to front axle and 2A" lift when I bought it in 95, for 4500 bucks!

uh Maxi-you forget, that the smartest marketing guy when it comes to cars-Mr Farley - is now top dog, reporting to the guy that saved that icon of heavy manufacturing Steelcase.

Just saw this on BON site-... Ford-owned equipment to make the parts was not “materially damaged” by the tornado, but neither Ford nor BorgWarner could say when production would be resumed. Ford closed all of its U.S. factories about a month ago due to the coronavirus outbreak.

As I watched the video my first thought was..."so much for Kanban". Wonderful theory and a true cost savings- until your distribution system fails to get the goods to you or your source is out of business. I would imagine the key will be how much of the machinery IN the plant is junk?

Eye opening to say the least. I'm hear in MA and never heard of this guy. Time to do some searching

Again, miracle that there were no injuries. Assuming steam was involved you would think there were some sort of safeties/relief systems that tipped people off? ??

For sure! As a Ford truck sales guy today what a "Super Duty" was and he will have no clue. Gas job for sure 401, 477 or 534 cubic inches. Came out in model year 1958.

Is this what you are saying won't end well???......This new business aligns functional areas to deliver holistic customer solutions and optimizes operations to improve alignment with potential partners . Perhaps you are right. Unfortunately in the age of "Hackett speak" you just can't escape buzzwords. I'm hopeful it refers to alignments with perhaps those who provide further integration with maybe load sharing, dispatch centralization , stuff like that. One thing that will show promise is the fact that two regional guys for commercial truck, one North America, one Europe will be reporting to the same guy. Maybe we will see some further reliance on Ford Otosan who for quite a while now has been referred to as "Fords heavy truck design center" or some similar description. So far seems like we have never seen evidence of that in the US..Maybe that will change for the better. One frequent poster here who is a Ford annuitant has frequently said an assignment to commercial trucks is the kiss of death as far a career path is concerned. The fact that commercial vehicles is featured in this announcement says that perhaps that is not the case for sure.

Hah-who needs a trailer-I figured 4 x 20 so much for my eyes What is your legal GVW

Let me guess..20yd water level?

All valid points-but I would make the cut line the Bear Mtn. Bridge😎

Perhaps VW had a hand in the Texas Plant decision?

Eat more chicken??😰

KSC, So what was the driver behind their plan for a new plant. Their sales are way down from what they were. All their other facilities were at max utilization? I can't believe the GM JV for class 4-6 is that significant. And they had to have plenty of capacity at Escobedo with Blue diamond gone. ??? Or will the "new" Nafta force some volume from Mexico back to US?

Thx-always thought they were "Harbor Freight" gimmics. I've got one strap-for lifting.

Well I guess I'm the dummy then- learn something new every day. If I saw my kids doing it when they were like 14 I would have been barking at them.😎

Which was absolute political bullshit. He took liberty with the fact that basically all immigrants in the first part of the 20th century were classified as "without papers".

Hah- look at the beginning. the guy would have about 6' of slack in the tow rope and then he would accelerate. Unreal. Must be it was not his truck or his strap😆 But they get an "A" for effort.
