  1. Have to stop working on it. The Boss wants me to start getting trucks ready for Springfield, I am working on something for Macgungie, don't know what. Have to think some more. He said to tow up the LTH ,but I hate to do that. Bad enough to trailer them in but it's a long ride , and my bride is coming with me.
  2. will get the Chevy/GMC picture soon.
  3. Thanks, not all my work, another team project, bought it pretty much in baskets, started with two frame rails , but an excellent cab, picture is original owner, have original line ticket, and purchase info in document protectors from 1957.
  4. Engine, trans,driveline,and brakes done. Cab painted, slow going. Seems like they go a lot faster on the TV programs.
  5. Yes diamond t gmc and some others, I forget how many, I remember making two trips with the single drop, so probably 5 or 6 trucks
  6. Let me know if you go. I'll meet you there. I have some interesting old tools in the shop, like an old leading station for body work I can show you
  7. Went to W.Va. To tow in a truck hit while parked in truckstop. The bracket for the mid turn signal off the trailer that hit him was buried in the fiberglass.
  8. Here's a cute little Mack, until I get the Brockway
  9. I will get it for you when I get back in. Swift truck tore off the front end of our trucks in NitroW.Va. Going with 5th wheel wrecker to get it now.(parked for nite)
  10. Thanks for your nice comments. A lot of guys put in a lot of time. I'll let them know you enjoyed it. Dave
  11. Truck will go slower, or increase RPM at same speed
  12. The plan for the future is to put a box on off and. A trailer behind like the picture. Will take a lot of space but be worth it. maybe some pictures or displays inside with steps up?
  13. Had some work done in Roanoke, hauling back to museum
  14. Health and human services. They just don't get it. I told them I'd take three and save a pile of money.
  15. Went to Md. To move some vehicles for the Fed Govt on Friday to Sacremento Ca area. They said how many can you haul, I said three, they said just take two, I loaded and chained down and took off, they called me twenty miles out and said to bring one back and unload, they ordered 4 trucks Amd they had to use them. Went to Ca. With one van. What a waste. Now in Klamath Falls Ore. Things seem a little more sensible here.
  16. Delivered load in Storr Ct this morning, headed down to Matt Pfahl now to drop off some parts for a LTL he is working on for Keystone
  17. It is still 8.00 there is truck parking in rear the first gate in from the south is for trucks.
  18. No special deal needed you are welcome anytime. I'll meet you there if Ican get off the road. Dave
  19. 270 these paws have problems with these little keys. ie:selfies in wicked Wednesdays.
  20. 2001 12.7 Detroit 370 W.B. Super 10 1,500,000 on it but engine and tranny rebuilt. Does a good job. Costs a lot to go that far for a truck. Will save the money on the repair, but some is just the principal. Don't begrudge anybody a "fair" profit but just because a truck is a long way from home doesn't mean you can " Tear them up"
