    it really amazes me how the pioneers could build a log house with nothing but an axe, and make it almost perfectly square. but the builders of 1940's through 2000 can not even get within 2 inches of square with all the technology they had at their disposal.

    the crash that killed Troy was less than 1 mile away from the airport where people were gathering for a concert he was playing in a few hours.

    plus most of the contractors back then figured "close enough" was close enough and did not bother using a plumb bob, T-square, or in the event of the guy that built my house, a ruler

    i have spent the past twenty years fixing all the buiders screwups. i am at the point that now i can hang a door or window and actually have it open. i also have the place fairly level, there is now only about a 1 inch pitch over the 48 foot front to rear. when i bought the place it was closer to 5 inches off pitch front to rear, and the building was almost 3 inches off square front to rear. 4 20 ton jacks can do a lot of work when trying to square and level a house. as long as there are enough nails in it to hold it together when trying to move it.

    there used to be a lot of them intercrashionals here on the east coast with green leakers in them. especially 6-71's. you could hear them coming from 1/2 mile away

    i really like the picture of ole Gus earning his keep with the loaded trailer hooked up.
  14. tjc transport
    yup, all the R's i ran had wear plates there to keep the cab from wearing through the fiberglass of the hood.

    Tulsa manufacturing and Marmon-Herrington are two that i know of. as for cost, it would probably be more than the truck is worth
  16. tjc transport
    a lot of money, or a 4X4 donor truck to get the parts from.

    we would never be allowed to get away with scratching the surface for footings. here in joisey we have to go down AT LEAST 3 feet, my town wants 4 foot

    how deep was the water in/on the truck? also, what was done after the flooding? was the engine, trans, pump, and rear drained, refilled, started and ran for a while? that will make a big difference on whether it is even worth messing with. 5 years untouched after being submerged in salt water can do A LOT of damage. you may get into it and realize it is not worth repairing.

    boy ain't that the truth!!! sometimes you can't even give them away. we just donated our old ladder truck to another counties fire acadamy because we could not give it away. 97 sutphen 125 foot cherry picker with 1200 GPM pump and 1000 gallon tank. fully loaded. no takers after being offered to any fire department that wanted it for 6 months.

    the only thing "fool proof" is the fool

    when you are pulling a trailer like that guy was, there is always light coming through the rear window.

    that is the difference between a driver and a steering wheel holder. i had a steering wheelholder tell me a few years ago that i was lying when i said i could feel a tire going flat driving down the road

    who is going to insult everyone and spout nonsense now??
  24. tjc transport
