  4. $19,500 That's what l paid for my '77 R600 with a 36" crawl-thru bunk 33(?) years ago.
  5. Nice! l wonder what the MB would look like with one? lol Hippy
  6. 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
  7. We bought our MB in Bluefield VA just down 77 from Flat Top.
  8. We got our crew together today. '99 Dodge 2500, 7.5' plow & 4' wing - Stand alone shovel (How to downsize a road crew in half) - '90 Ford LN7000 - '52 Ford 8N - '74 Ariens - '70 Mack MB607 - '01 Chevy Tahoe, 7.5'LD plow. Pay no attention to the plows not being painted yet! Hippy and Ricky
  9. You can't go wrong with a name like "Bubba's Crap & Scrap"! Hippy
  10. Most of the "Incompetent devices" l know of sit directly behind the steering wheel! Hippy
  11. Charles Flake, Mike Flake, Terry, and all Veterans. Thank you for your service. Welcome home and God Bless you. Hippy
  12. Would someone explain what the hell was the idea of an open cab on a fire truck anyways. Thanks in advance, Hippy
  13. Thanks to j hancock and 41 chevy Rick and l are learning more about our little MB all the time. Thanks guys! Hippy
  14. glitchwrks, Take a look at this older topic. lt may have the answers you are looking for. Hippy
  15. As the driver was heard to say, "Damn GPS said to go this way! Now what do we do?" Hippy
  16. Coastal Truck and Auto Body 3610 Lafayette Rd (Rt 1) Portsmouth, NH has one. Looks like the one on CL that 66dc75 posted. I know nothing about it other than just driving by. They use it for yard moves at times or it's out in line for sale. Hippy
  17. Mack man, l think l'm batting a 1000 here! lt's for the windshield washer. Our MB has one also. Hippy
  18. I asked Paul and this was his answer. Hippy A swag is bed roll a bit of foam some sheets and blankets and all full covered in water proof canvas and goes straight on the ground most times nice and warm and you can use the outside canvas cover as tarp to stay out of the rain when your stopped for a while Another term for a swag was Matilda hence the poem or song Waltzing Matilda
  19. Welcome LRSIMON, The lettering on the door - Old School Contracting- looks familiar. Hippy
  20. I understand some people don't like the green interior that sits there and stares back at you. But why do they have to paint over it in colors like they do? Overnite repainted our MB green interior twice, first green then tan and it was not very well done either time. Hippy
  21. The best spot mirror l ever had came off a school bus. lt looked like a cat's eye and mounted at a 45' angle on the right front fender. You could see both down the right side and across the grill/bumper in one glance. Watch the lug nuts go round or check if a headlight or fog light was out too! Hippy
  22. The Cornish-Windsor bridge was built in 1866 for $9,000. It was framed on a nearby meadow and later moved to it's proper location It's 449' 5" long with the two spans of 204' and 203' and a width of 24', roadway width of 19' 6" and a vertical clearance of 12' 9". lt is posted for 10 ton. The bridge was reconstructed by the state in 1989 at a cost of $4,450,000. This is the longest wooden covered bridge in the US and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world. Info from "NH Covered Bridges a Link With Our Past by the NHDOT". Hippy
  23. Had to laugh when l saw the "Fuzz Buster" sitting on the dash! l had mine mounted over to the right behind the CB. Got caught with it early one morning in VA. Hippy
  24. Paul, My wife is from northern Maine (Aroostook county). She has always said they only had two seasons also. " Winter and damn poor sledding". Hippy
