  1. Duct Tape. The handyman's secret weapon! And don't forget, lf woman don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy. Red Green. Hippy
  2. This is an older picture of my '01 1500. The plows have been moved to the '99 2500. And the finished product looking out the driveway. Hippy

  5. l always carried two when l ran the road, just incase some SOB stole one! l still have local maps with me of NH even thou we never leave the state. Hippy
  6. Coles Express of Maine had the idea of putting a passenger compartment on a tractor trailer unit. Haul passengers and freight up and back from the county in the summer. l understand that the lCC would not let them do it because of the train and bus services that were available at the time. At the start of this video the oil tank on the GMC would be removed and the passenger compartment installed. Notice it has two steer axels and only one drive axel. http://www.colemuseum.org/articles/81-222/cole-city-dedication-to-progress/4 Hippy

  8. Macks, lf that MF is the same size as my 8N Ford without hydraulics. l've seen them use a cable and pulleys back to the 3ph to raise and lower the plow. l'm sure there are pictures on the www. somewhere of one. Hippy
  9. One in the same. My wife is from Houlton Me and we always call it being in Bangor. But Hermon is correct.........Hippy
  10. Dysarts truck stop for homemade strawberry shortcake. Then around the corner to Coles for the rest of the day. Couldn't be a better visit to Bangor....Coles has a few clips on YouTube also.....Hippy
  11. Hobert are you loading the tricycles with 2 or 3 ramps on your trailer? l watched a guy at the Big Red show in Dublin NH load with two ramps. Now that was something to see. Hippy
  12. Looking for a decent Overnite pup trailer (road or city) to go with my MB. The closer to New England the better. Thanks Hippy
  13. l remember seeing Hendricksons in Chicago back around '78-'80. I delivered candy from Boston (Schrafft's, Doran's, Nabisco) for Polar Transport of Hanover Ma. I also have the C/J doubles from Matchbox, whats left of them. l let my son play with them way back when. Hippy

  19. $19,500 That's what l paid for my '77 R600 with a 36" crawl-thru bunk 33(?) years ago.
  20. Nice! l wonder what the MB would look like with one? lol Hippy
  21. No it's not just you gearhead, l've been noticing it for some time. When the wife and l are out and see a car coming without lights on we bet as to what color it is. NH tried to pass the "Wipers on Lights on" law last year but it failed as not being needed. Hippy
