  1. The truck is a1980,with less than 90,000 on it. I'm the second owner. Ever wonder why somebody would do a good paint job on a cab and not touch the chassis? This is the one to answer that. Obvious patches and a MACCO sticker on the door jamb with the date and color code. "Corvette Bondo" under the mats. This seller who knows very little about the truck, most answers were double talk. Nice day for a boat ride and lunch though. The search continues. Paul
  2. Probably a good price, but in the long run I think you'll end up being sorry you let it go. I know that's how I am. Paul
  3. I've been kicking this around all afternoon. I'm going to buy my R back for salvage, pull the Weldbilt and toss the cab and nose. The rest I'll put in the corner of my shop for now. It's repairable but I just can't justify the outlay or time on it. Paul
  4. Since Stamford Conn is only 1 1/2 hours each way including the Ferry ride, I made arrangements to go looks at the Million Mile Superliner. I see from the last photo it's appears to be an ex logger from the rack, but I need to start looking for a replacement. The wheel base is right but it does have Air Ride and I have the Camel Back in my R. Don't hurt to look and haggle a tad.

  5. Back in the mid 80's I started to sell off because I was taxes equal to the abutting homes. That changed in the mid 90's with the Save the Farm push, but by 2000 we were all limited by local enviromental laws concerning dust from plowing, water usage and fertilizing (mostly created by the city people at their summer homes). Sold most to Pindar and leased 12 and donated the house to Suffolk County Historical Society. Here is me a few winters ago with some of whats left, including Granpa Stazweski's tractor. New London Ferry takes all trucks here is the link to fees. https://www.longislandferry.com/Common/Help.aspx?page=fares Paul
  6. Just like she looks is how I felt dealing with the insurance adjuster today... So how many gears to fast???
  7. I've got the last 16 acres left out of the original 500. 3 have my shop and equipment on it, one is a buffer and 12 are leased to Pindar Vineyards. Not any market for L.I. potatos any more. W.P.Davis carried the trotters that each of the Pratt, Schiff and the Woodward families owned. Paul
  8. The guy had an AB I recall they thought it was worthless, course they also thought the 1940 Levis I.H. was a joke..
  9. Thereare multiple reasons this happens. 1) On the Rio Grande and other entry points, there are yellow flashing lights and large warning signs. To the people that see them they only mean one thing.....Go like heck and don't stop. 2) At colleges and other areas frequented by the under 25 crowd, if it doesn't text you the warning in text slang its not there. Thats why the Traffic Alert signs work....looks like texting
  10. Babushka!!! Haven't heard that in years!! My Babcia always had one on as did my wujenkas
  11. I guess not all things go better with Coke. Paul
  12. Jeff looks like he had one to many Perogies
  13. I know that route. I was looking on line for a replacement and was asked what are you going to do with the other trucks. Pretending to be deaf only got my coffee slammed down. Paul
  14. Born and raised in Oyster Bay spent summers as slave labor at family potato farm in Mattituck , transplanted to Shirley a few years ago for the space. WAlton P Davis was a moving and storage company in Locust Valley at Barneys Corner and ran bright red COE Internationals and F Macks. They also hauled race horses from Roosevelt and Aquaduct race tracks to Saratoga Fla.. Rode right seat with my uncle when I was a kid on local runs. Pop worked weekends servicing their trucks and trailers. I was head tool hander at about 6 or 7 years old. Started my career in mechanics and driving then. Paul
  15. Nice photos and great memory. I remember Pinter Brothers, they were all over central L.I. One of their trailers is in the RV dealer next to Gabarelli Mack in Medford. Wish I had pics of my pops and uncles stuff when Walton P Davis from when was a good company. Did you live on the Island? Paul
  16. Well than, I ate alot of your Grandmas cooking! Grew up on Spam and probably was one of the few who liked it in the service and it was probably WWII issue too. Spam, Cod fish cakes and oat meal.... You earned this award today Paul
  17. here is the link. Only Cummins he had was in his K.W. 100. MACK was on board with him, along with H.D. and AMC at one time. Paul http://www.restoreevelrig.com/
  18. Sounds good, never realized how bad the cab is. Paul
  19. It's all stripped down. Got most of the new parts for the engine including pistons from EGGE Machine and rods converted to insert bearings, did bearings and seals on the transaxle and started welding up around 300 + cracks in the chassis. Work kind of slowed in the summer as I got real busy when scrap was high, I try to work on it at least one full day a week, I'm about 30 weeks behind. Paul
  20. Sorry Rob, but thats Cali,it would only hold 1/2 of Nancy Poo loosys pooop. You buying it? It looks like a nice unit specially wif it had a Weldbilt equipment bed on it . Paul
  21. Sure hope you get it, if nothing more for the memories. Paul
  22. Won't happen til somebody with big onions and no I owe you pay back, gets elected. Heck a few states wanted photo ID card for voters,, no cost to the applicants, just prove you are a citizen and who you are... Nope it will stop minority voters. Collecting welfare , food stamps, unemployment, medicad or section 8 housing you get randon drug testing. nope, violates their right to privacy... a few states N.Y included tried to impliment "deportation by denial" , cutting of benefits to non citizens and non resident aliens, no welfare,food stamps or health care....period! Nope we're violating their rights. Now Washington will allow welfare reciepiants to use their atm cards in cassinos, liqour stores and bars. The more dependant they are on the BIg Nipple the more they will vote to keep the status quo. Just my blue collar, christian, politically incorrect view. Paul
