  1. A I...... it's a two letter word. Headboard 🤣
  2. (lol) Holy F@&% How many yards does one of those come out to ?
  3. I hope those tires are the proper size for that FJB edition . The part about the ones for it costing more sounds right, but.....c'mon man.
  4. True, but old spacers are often squeezed in some, then the difference from manufacturers ???? can't just take for granted there's gonna be enough there to clamp different rims in place. That's assuming the spoke is in good shape too. Not uncommon to find them missing some parts after a rim spins past the lumps around the valve stem. Tight lug nuts are no guarantee rims are tight .
  5. That truck was here a couple weeks ago. It's alive and almost the same as in the pictures (has newer rubber now) I think a 420 is a Magnum . Cummins cocktailed them together with the influx of Small Cams that were cores when guys upgraded to a Big Cam. Then had some newer advancements engineered into them and were sold as a factory recon. I think they were 420s
  6. Picture 2 would go on the outside of duals on a spoke. Changing from tube type to tubeless requires reevaluating the hardware you're using, as at the very least the spacer in the back is often a different width. Then you need to make sure the wedges are correct too. Steer axle isn't as fussy.
  7. Picture 1 on the steer.
  8. Bob imitation is said to be the most sincere form of flattery
  9. Deep man...... deep. You're like one of those fillossofers
  10. My guess ? They had some Amish guys make it or something like that.
  11. I have a new one. New Remack on the skid.
  12. Probably way more trucks breaking down than roller coasters.
  13. I didn't know that either Bob..... but that white truck and the cabover ????? they're the bomb . What handsome trucks .
  14. Had one of those too. The old meter with the bell and hose hanging on it which is I remember correctly had some kind of valve the rolled hose opened and closed.
  15. The kid with a bicycle pump was pretty popular in the neighborhood. Little did I know that was preparing me for things on a bigger scale some day.
  16. Gee..... that makes the one I saw look like a bicycle pump from 1963. 🤯
  17. Anyone remember this POS during the debates ? Stand'n there mumble'n how Trump was the worst president ever ? This guy's a low life and I can't kid myself into thinking the rest of the world doesn't see that. God help us.
  18. There was (lol) you could get two for shipping and handling . I know my IR 5 horse is going straight to the scrap guy.
  19. Guy lies every time he speaks. Not even hide'n it.
  20. I saw there's a new portable compressor on the market. It looks like a cordless impact but has a hose coming out of it where you'd put a socket on. thing must work great, shows them blowing up a truck tire...... and a basketball. Even has a LED light and digital pressure read out. What more could a man ask for ?
  21. I have a really hard time believing guys like us are the only people who notice things like this. What a joke.
  22. What's the matter Jojo ??? not happy with her performance for her bought silence that our taxpayer money paid for ?
  23. Super Ten Fullers were back in the beginning of automation and all that great stuff. Some engineers agreed there were fuel savings to be found being in direct and overdrive at the proper times. Technology wasn't so advanced at the time so basically (really basically) the ECM would shift the transmission between direct and overdrive (9th and 10th) as it was programed . Since processors and servos weren't that sophisticated (or affordable) at the time the Super Ten Top 2 made some sense on some level. They could also just be shifted by the driver if it wasn't set up to an ECM or in a truck without an ECM. By the time they marketed them and all though , they were basically obsolete because there were better mousetraps. (think Autoshift) . they also pitched it as "less shifting for the driver" Sorta like a Mack ten speed from the early '80s but the shift pattern was where it ended. Outside they looed like an old RTO 13 speed but with no range valve on the main case on it's left side. Remember when all these ideas.... low RPM high torque....less shifting.... reduced weight were all Mack ideas no one really valued at the time as they do now ?
  24. look what you started here 🤣
  25. That red one looks like the top flange is split on the frame.
