    original post from Barry is ,He's trying for a complete B-model kit, not just a cab conversion which is great. I have noticed the DM-600 model kits are becoming difficult to find as are the early R-models. the spin off R kits have much to be desired.

    parents # was TU (xeto) 6202. only 2 or 3 party line. now put this picture in your head=== the young kids of today with rotary house phones and ALL the phone cables dangling behind their cars. or better yet them having to sit at home and use a house phone. LOL

    flip phone back !!; heck I want a real phone like my parents had ;; black with rotary dial , sat on a phone table with a phone book. didn't know there were so many "Drs"in this state ;; everyone carries a phone . must be on 24 hr call. I spent 20 yrs on 24 hr call - did it without a cell phone. I did get modern after a while I had a beeper. then found a phone booth to return call.

    copy/paste/scan !!!!; heck I can't figure this 15 phone I have which I didn't want at all .. had a I-6 (i think) worked good enough for me. this 15 phone I have to make sure not in skives while attempting a "send picture in text. ". find myself on camera mode not picture file. won't even discuss this auto spell business.

    if my bad eye sight is correct; the dumper "opera" aka the black bitch is a short wheel-based R-700. sure would be great to see more pictures and specs on the "black bitch " always for me mind -boggling the major differences in equipment from U SA and the wonderful "land down under."

    or even funnier if the D O G hood ornament was wearing goggles going down the road.

    It's NOT insults; rather basic conversation to be taken as is by the receiver. if that's all my wife called me on a daily basis =it be a dam good day. consider I'm Polish Catholic ;; she's Jewish ;; you take it from there.

    a number of fleets back in 70's-?? ran the V-903. Guyott oil in CT had the long nose Brockway with 903's. one of my first trucking experiences as rider was in a Guyott oil Brockway which a neighbor drove. a Brockway having the old style cab NOT the converted Mack cab Brockway.

    from reading the forums here ' that sentence seems to be the way of the dealer mechanics today at $150-200 per hr. they know little but guess and just change parts till problem fixed or at least a little better.

    beyond sharp looking piece of history. best of positive to it restoration.
  19. mechohaulic
    now YOU have distinguished Yourself as a detective / mechanic. It's the small items noticed which make a difference. to have only a $1.oo for everyone of those bells I installed.!!! major construction fleet in CT having bought (#356-376)first batch of DM686 SX dumps I had to weld a 1/2 (5/8?) fine thread nut onto center of axle cap allowing install of the backup bells. couldn't use the brackets due to deep axle cap. also welded nut center cap for hubometers.

    only thing missing to make it a perfect machine is the 4-1 bucket. If we knew for sure staying on this property, the 955 would work. wife and I in limbo at the moment due to landlords divorcing .
  21. mechohaulic
    hope your semi-retirement is different then most! will be interesting after 8-10 months of retirement to up date us with " how much more time you have" !!LOL I try to hide from the world and I'm still found. yesterday was rear wheel bearing on grandsons jeep == yea an all day freebie job; outside with crap tools and no pullers. and the three days a week of "be at the bus stop (35 minutes away) to get daughters youngster from school and -----! never mind. get back to topic.

    reality is the fact it's so dam sad a person (working/homeowner) has to go to the extremes of protection and the low Lifes have more rights !! while gassing up my vehicle this afternoon; a Veteran walked out of the convenience store and sat at outside table. I back my jeep up so He was able to see the back window which proudly states "NEVER FORGET OUR VETERANS AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY/also a P O W decal. He thanked me ; next He said " and the immigrants (meaning border crossers ) get all the freebies. It sadden me to hear and realize He was right.

    sadly, today's world, homeowner is in more trouble when trying to protect their own property. trick is as mentioned 1-make sure not only are the scum IN your house but ;; 2- put enough shots in same spot so law enforcement can't tell if shots came from the back or front. unless of course you are using a 12 ga .my favorite.
  24. mechohaulic
    sadly it's only going to get worse with the thousands of border crossers. most having idea "we have more rights then you AMERICANS . politicians need our votes they told us to come over to this country.
  25. mechohaulic
    trucks looking real sharp. the alum tank definitely sets it off . it is with out a doubt different then most. not just the model of the truck it self but the sleeper cab/ vizor/ and the one large trumpet on top just to name a few of the oddities .
