    '60's Mercury comet/ cyclone ALWAYS had my vote. so classy yet simple square design. Dyno Don Nicholson had a fantastic race car in red!!! fact my first car was a '67 ford Fairlane .square but practical.

    warm weather may be just around the corner ; and the 5spoke chrome rims with raised white letters may be going back on the Mojave for summer. If I can only figure this posting picture thing. and possibly I can get up the courage to say "NO I can't fix your stuff, my stuff is priority ; I.m not getting any younger. thinking today would be a short day :(wrong)trailer came in at the farm with pain in a-s emergency line leak UNDER 5h wheel plate. least it wasn't side of road upstate NY.

    not to jump topic: BUT chrome reverse / SS cragers are the best. to show how some of us can't leave the past, I paid big $$$ for four all American 5spoke chrome for my "21 jeep Mojave gladiator with raised white letter tires(bridgstones), now that's '60's all the way! LOL no other jeeps has the look so far. pulled them off for winter salt/sand.

    no way the word hero applies ; it's more about things so different then; in just about every aspect. Family/ friends, even the food we eat!! speaking of proud moments and helping a Friend== passing by a truck I knew well , hood open side of the road. there stood Mr. Moffo Sr. short version =I stopped : cummins no start; as with many things of the day (no computer) a simple turning of pump screw to bypass electrical shut off got things running. payment = = a hand shake and Thank You, from a Man so respected by me.

    that's the challenge for us old folk ;; WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO know more then that. words can't explain . didn't need to be a shirt and tie ;; it was the positive attitude . I drive every day on I-84 in ct. parts are which are 3-4 lane. there are tractor trailers in 2nd lane going up hill lower then posted speed (65 mph) while 3/4 th lane empty !!! NO ONE CARES . not patting myself on back ;; BUT yrs back couple of disabled trucks were repaired by stopping and assisting. no $$ just "gettum going'

    don't attempt to stop for a disabled unit on side of highway anymore as in days of old. need a computer or Wrecker for tow. sadly looking at the one behind the wheel ????? where did the respectable truck drivers go ??? SO FU-- in DIFFERENT TODAY . !! sorrry kids

    being old !! please explain -- is there a difference in "being high VS being intoxicated ??? a long day of running a die grinder prepping steel for welding.
  11. mechohaulic
    without a doubt different today's world. main reason : liability; also lack of knowledge . yrs ago -after full day of work, did road call from CT to Maryland to change alternator on company COE. then there was a road call to upstate NY to change a steering box on K-123 COE during ice storm after a 8 hr work day. stayed in motel that early morning, today's world seems to say _ tow it in , were not chancing road calls.
  12. mechohaulic

  13. mechohaulic

    New Haven truck rental - north Haven CT . could see their yard from I-91 . YES Jones transport had the F model day cabs (like many new England fleets).
  16. mechohaulic
    your going to find yourself in the same "boat" as many of us "retired"!!! between the real DM600/ the dm-800 model/ ford louisville / wife's to do list etc; back to work will be a vacation !!! LOL
  17. mechohaulic
    such a different world we live in; sad.. seems common sense has turned to parts changing at a VERY expensive cost .
  18. mechohaulic
    now that picture is a F-700 with a gold dog (maxi) on front ((?))and doors. I should have taken notes back then . Bozzotos of cheshire (down st from where I live now) had a fleet of F models back then ;; I'm thinking they were F600's ;maxi's with 5 speed. only F-700 I remember was the burgandy/ white F-700 from factory with the new experimental V-8 866 thermodyne .
  19. mechohaulic
    same differences as a R_600 vs R-700. basically drive train.

  21. mechohaulic
    now lets not promote violence !! it's NOT a shot GUN ;;it's a personal protective device .,,, just sayin
  22. mechohaulic
    You have the earlier version. I went and checked ;; mine is the ford louisville "short hauler" blue cab / silver box truck. it's AMT/ ERTL. not AMT/matchbox.. knew companies did the buy out route. yours is green cab silver box with a produce co. decal if memory is correct. like many things today the older version plastic models are made with better quality.
  23. mechohaulic
    one is an earlier version. I'd place bet the green/white is the earlier version. both same truck. easy way to tell is by the box. early one just AMT ; later box would be AMT/ matchbox?? companies bought out each other.
  24. mechohaulic
    worked 1/2 day at the farm then ''actually tried to "hide" from the world this afternoon by being in the basement to work on a 1/25th scale model that has been on the "production line "for months. did great till wife came back. LOL in case your wondering :: NO plastic glue and Yukon Jack don' t work well together.
