    Paul, we are limited to 13 foot 6 inches. anything over that needs an oversize permit and escort.

    My 1960 Rodgers 75 ton was able to lift the front almost 14 inches, which gave the rear an extra 5 inches clearance.

    Start looking for another job. I always map out my route before leaving the yard. In 53 years I have never hung a truck up. I have however unstuck a few. It is amazing how most drivers do not know how to lift the deck for more clearance.

    not sure, but i seem to remember floor wood was red oak.

    nope. a pint will make you feel real good. a quart will make you fall down. especially if it is ice cold, which is also the best way to drink it!

    it is official, i am an old fart. i just signed up for Social Security Benefits. i was going to wait until i retire, but realized i will not retire until the day after my funeral. so what the hell, i might as well take the money while i can still use it.

    12 volt will work on that 6 volt unit, but it will eventually. die. why not have a local rebuilder convert it? you can go from 6 volt positive ground to 12 volt negative ground, or leave it as a 12 pos unit. i would convert it and the truck to 12 volt negative ground though.

    i remove manifold if there is still some of the stud sticking out, and weld a larger nut to what is left of the stud. fill the whole center of the nut to get a good bond with the stud. while it is still hot start turning it back and forth with a wrench. once loose run it out. much easier than drilling and using easy outs.

    i had a 59 pontiac venture with tube radio. usually got where i was going before it warmed up enough to start making noise other than the hum.

    we called them centerfolds. a poster was a lot bigger, usually 2 foot by three foot

    i have a 128 gig thumb drive i use. it has about three weeks of music on it. combination of 60's and 70's rock, and 50's through 80's country music.

    same here. "oldies" these days is heavy metal from the 90's. i guess the new breed considers 50's like we had is what the flinstones listened to.

    yup, very large electrical switch and outlet manufacturer.

    i am really really thinking of taking a ride this weekend. only problem would be spending money that is earmarked for more important things, like new teeth. i got the hearing aides already, and money for the new glasses tomorrow is in pocket.

    saw this before. don't look like a bad truck for the price: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/782392586924288/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A87897e55-4c42-48b2-9b5b-277e66984b62

    yup, it is the "new" LR electric POS.

    Terry, that stems from a lawsuit against paccar in 17 or 18. a guy was doing over 85 when a front tire blew out and he wrecked. he sued Paccar for putting 65MPH rated tires on the truck , but having the speed limiter set at 85. fact he was running 20 mph over the speed limit did not matter. paccar lost the suit and next day said screw you and told all dealers speed limiter is to be set at steer tire max speed. people that bypass the speed limiter loose warranty now.
  21. tjc transport
    yea i was. it is really 63.1
  22. tjc transport
    well, i am safe because with my 63.4 IQ, i am still smarter than any demonrat, and possibly 95% of republican politicians too.
  23. tjc transport
    yup, Brawndo, the thirst mutilator and all!!
  24. tjc transport
    tell her remembering trucks from 50 years ago IS important. remembering birthdays and anniversaries is not. 😁

    Rowdy, i have been saying they are making "Idocracy" reality for the past 10 years or so.
