  1. Nope He had a trucking company out of Wisconsin, retired to Ft Lauderdale.
  2. Sounds like the nitwit didn't put the pickup in neutral
  3. First house I bought was 5 houses down from Nissens in Brockton
  4. They closed down about 20 years ago. A guy from Lynn like you definitely saw a few around, Shertzer was in Somerville
  5. Interesting thing happened today. Was on a job and needed a bag of concrete . I found a hardware store and asked where they kept it. We went out back to grab a bag and one of the customers called him Shertzer. I asked him if he was related to Shertzer trailers. He said how did I know about Shertzer trailers, I said I had one. Boy did he get excited when he saw photos of my trailer. His grandfather owned the company and was really appreciative for the photos.
  6. Wish I still had it but I wanted an R model couldn't keep both not enough room
  7. When I had my Astro I set up a sliding fifth wheel that would go way back to us with a trailer set up for a single axle tractor

    Yeah the 5.9 is pretty much bulletproof. I like that the closest thing to a computer on this truck is the radio. It's also a factory A/C which is pretty rare in a 97

    5.9 cummins and a seven speed. Not a ton of power but it'll get the job done. Only has 134k on it.

    Needed a bigger dump ttuck that won't get wagged around by my equipment trailer like my one ton chevy. I'm too cheap to just go out and buy one already put together so I'm putting this together as time allows.
  11. Just got this one, more space but will need to come up with ramps for it
  12. I had 2 B67s with driver side single tank and step on passenger side

    Same setup I used on my panel. Plus mounted a generator
  15. I'm 6'6" 235lbs I used a b67 concave cab when I built my pickup. Once I figured out how to get in and out I was ok but I do look like Magilla gorilla in there.

    If you don't want a transfer switch you can use a sliding interlock on the front of the panel that prevents the main and the 30amp generator breakers to be on at the same time. This way you choose what circuits you want to use. The manual transfer switches limit you to 6 or 8 predetermined circuits. Stopped in Harbor Freight today and they had predator generators non inverter types for 40 percent off clearance. I grabbed a 3500 watt for $281 to have as a spare for work. Couldn't pass that up for that price.

    The Hobo Freight inverter generators are real quiet. I've got the 8750 watt which runs at 1800 rpm unless you put heavy load on then it kicks up. Even then it's a lot quieter than my old generator
