1958 F.W.D.

Anyone located within a 50-75 mile radius of Bethlehem, Pa. have a heavy duty engine stand I could put a 237 or 300 Maxidyne on and rotate? I dont have a ton of money, am using it to teach myself about heavy duty diesel engines, I want to find something big and do a careful, thorough tear-down and inspection and possible rebuild. If you have an extra one laying around gathering dust and you could give it to me or long-term loan I would be grateful. I will come pick up.

If Harvey Eckert has not put the information in any of his books, it's not worth knowing about.

Oh my god.....She's a ginger....she drives....she's a mechanic.....she hates Detroits......she cooks.......(although that really doesn't matter to me anymore....) she likes Ozzy........and I'm married......DAMMIT!!!!! LOL Awww that's ok I'll keep what I have, second time around pretty good and I have small, medium and large from it too. Miss Katie don't ever get married, just live in sin with a good man.

We need to hook her up with Vinny....!!!!!!!!!! .....And yes, I concur.....Don't ask about the Vinny Movie.......

Whenever we go down to the Outer Banks, we always bring home 3 or 4 bags of Abitts Seafood Breader Flour- which I use on chicken breasts cut in strips...GOOD STUFF......and sweet hush puppy flour w/ onions, too!!!

At least my truck is growed-up!!!!

If you have already contacted the Museum for copies of your file, you are ahead of the game. However be advised they usually run 8-10 weeks before getting back to you. And "getting back to you" usually means a large/heavy cardboard box arriving via UPS. Keep in mind what you are getting is free- but don't forget to send them a donation!!!!!

Before we can allow you to take the oath of sin I mean admission, there are several questions you must first answer. 1. Do you feel that any 2-stroke Detroit is the anti-christ, has no place among mortal men, and should be immediately melted down into a pool of venomous molten metal and dumped into the Mariana Trench (Western Pacific Ocean) the deepest point on the earth.......Or do you feel that any oils leftover (not inside the crankcases mind you, the oils that leaked out and blew all over the works of lucifer himself) would pollute the ocean and that perhaps launching the slag into outer space for an eternity of banishment as it travels into the farthest reaches of the depths of the galaxy would be a better solution for the slag??/ **OR** do you feel that any intelligent life in said farthest reaches of the depths of the galaxy would take this as a sign of aggression and an overture of war on behalf of the citizens of the planet earth, who would then launch an immediate pre-emptive strike and destroy mankind as we know it? 2. Do you appreciate old firetrucks, F.W.D. brand vehicles, Waukesha gas engines, and rubber chickens? 3. Do you own a kilt?

Shit. I forgot about that. DAMMIT!!!!!! LOL

SHE'S MINE!!!! MINE I SAY!!!!! I SAW HER FIRST!!!!!!!.............

Wait a minute......yer a ginger????

I'm not sure but I think this may have been directed at me?? And does this mean I have to take more than one shower than my normally allotted one per calendar quarter?

You just missed the big one- The annual ATCA Fathers Day Weekend show in Macungie Pa. Held Thurs-Fri-Sat of every fathers day weekend. This year there were 633 +/- trucks in attendance. Biggest annually held truck show in the USA. Mack is a big sponsor. You can do the show and also do a walking tour of the Mack Macungie Assembly Plant, and also the Mack Museum in Allentown Pa. Another good show (not as big though) coming up is TRUCKTOBERFEST being held at the Mack Museum (Allentown Pa.) on Saturday October 27.

By the way eastcoast a lot of us are on FB too, if you wanna connect, PM me your contact on there and I'll hit you up and then link you in with a bunch of the other retards I mean guys on here.

Should I re-post my latest self-portrait???

Just one time......Just one freakin' time I'd like to be walking past one of these kids romping on their weed eater at a show and have a rod come flying through the pan.........I would giggle my ass off right there on the spot. And then say "Hey!!! You're dumb, and you're an ass!!!! You're a DUMBASS!!!!"

I wish they would send out more of these letters!!!!!

Hmmmmmmm makes note to self: If wearing shorts, must wear jock strap next time working on creeper under vehicles.......

Yeah last night would have been an ugly time to stop by, I was in a pretty dark mood because the power was out, no ETA on restoration and we just loaded up the fridge that morning with $400 in meats.....Plus I was pretty miserable cause it was so hot and humid........

Never fun. I got divorced from my first wife back in 2001. It wasn't fun but felt like I got paroled at the time. Best thing we could have done for one another. Didn't have any kids with her so it was relatively easy. EastCoast obviously you are not a kid- remember to keep your sanity by telling your mom and dad not to use YOU or any siblings as a go-between. Tell them if they have something to say to the other, pick up the phone or type an email out or something, but YOU AINT LISTENING!!!!!

LOL I was hinting at Mike that he shoulda stopped by my house but yes Ken I might be able to be convinced into taking a ride sometime to investigate an MH...!!!!
