For the Record "In the nation's capital, you are 52 times more likely to be the victim of a crime than you are to win the D.C. Pick 3 lottery's $500 top prize." —Tony Perkins "The Democratic Party has now come out firmly and passionately in favor of crime in Washington, D.C. Why? Because President Trump did something about it." —John Kennedy Race Bait "I'm concerned about the way [President Trump] is rolling [anti-crime policies] out in Washington, DC, which is ... essentially going after young black and brown youth." —Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

While you are working on finding PS parts. Jack the front wheels off the ground and grease the hell out it. Turn the wheels side to side and grease it some more. lf you are only going to use it as a hobby truck l would leave it alone. l had four trucks with manual steering and didn't have any problems. .....Hippy

l was looking forward to having the "Public Stocks" returned to the common for all to view. Both styles would work, standing with head and hands thru or sitting on the ground with feet clamped in. .....Hippy

Drove a 9000 with a 318, 13spd and velvet ride suspension. Oh would that thing lean going around a corner or curve. .....Hippy

Don't forget about napping up in the window behind/over the rear seat! And today in NH no helmets for motorcycle riders. .....Hippy

We were at the Mack museum a few years ago. The older lady in the store said she had worked at Mack for years. She didn't like the style of the new bulldog. Said it looked like a bitch taking a piss!!! LOL! My son's '75 MB fire truck has a red, white, and blue sweater. l still have the red scarf off my '77 R model thats at least 40 years old. It's keeping the dog on the ash tray warm. .....Hippy

Or grind a little off the rear legs till it sits properly to your liking. IDK .....Hippy

Holmes Transportation had Rs and Us with a air tag for a short period of time. The drivers either put too much air in or not enough. They would lose traction and or steering so they discontinued the tags. Roadway's Road Bosses had a rear dead axle on a walking beam suspension. l had an S model International with a 15" lift pusher, perfect set-up for local P&D truck. And Overnite and others used the JiffLocks. 67RModel mentioned the steel haulers of W Penn and Ohio. Late '70s early 80's when l ran Mass to Chicago via the Ohio turnpike. The Ohio pike had axle scales at the toll booths to calculate what class toll your (toll) ticket would be. Steel haulers with air ride trucks and trailers would roll over those scales very slowly. All the while dumping and adding air to different axles to save paying a large toll at the other end. l tried it once by jumping the steer axle of an Astro over the scale. Problem was l dropped it on the scale and it increased my toll! LOL! Oh Ya back when it was fun. .....Hippy

Is there a reason why the whole truck was painted red? .....Hippy
