This one I have pics of and never realized it was a KW COE and an I.H. nose.

Nice unit, I'm curious about the tranny, keep us posted. How exactly do you adjust the cab air ride valve? I got the new bags for mine and haven't put them in yet. Paul

I've been in 282 since 1981,I don't see him doing anything to help us.

RowdyRebel,, Bob Rowe said it best.. Blue collar, white collar,a jobs a job ,the monies still green. Paul

And you get your emissions waiver and an EOBR for free.

Amen. But, we have 3 collleges near us, go through the student parking lot and it looks like an obammy bumper sticker farm.

student loans that the feds now run......pay us when you can. you get a job in your chosen field out of college and your below average on the pay scale....don't worry the feds will make up the difference...Well I'm paying $4.26 to $4.59 a gallon for fuel because of the grand plans. That cuts into my "pay scale"....guess I'm stupid because I just work more hours and cut out things to make it up. We saw lady with done hair and nails ,dressed to the nines using food stamps. Left with over $300 in groceries and got in a 7 series BMW. She did have her Obammy for president sticker on ot though.

I was raised that you take care of you and yours, you want it....work for it, public assistance was helping somebody out, Nothing is a "god give right" not health care, not welfare, not even a home. You want any of that stuff work for it or don't get it. And yes I do agree that there are some legit cases of need, unfortunatly they seem to be a minority.

Bullhusk, remember Hoffa said to "take the s.o.b.s out" and the president didn't say a word.....sounds like a plan to me.

Looks better than the kenworthless......

Lets not forget we now have the Super Congress...6 people who can over rule any bill or law and pass what they feel is best, and since they only answer to the White House, I assume they now the supreme power to abuse us. I guess they are equal to mao's panel of six.

I do sure hope we have no " unconfirmed terrorist attack" tomorrow , or I fear the sob will declare martial law and make himself king. Paul

As I understood it the raid on Gibson's guitar factory was based on the fact that they had supposedly imported unfinished lumber from India and had then worked the wood into guitar parts.This was supposed to be in violation of some trade agreement that required the wood be finished in it's country origin (that's an oversimplified explanation). I've also heard that the burden rests upon the subsequent buyer to later prove that the lumber was not finished domestically, so for example, you wouldn't be able to sell the guitar later on without proving that it was not made of parts that were subject to the trade agreement, else you would be subject to penalties the same as Gibson is facing. Now imagine they go into Remington and do the same thing, cuz guess what, that gun stock is made of wood too! Imagine you want to sell or trade a gun but can't because it may or may not have materials subject to these rules.

It's a war on personal freedom. It's not going to come all at once, it'll be done incrementally, a little here and a little there and pretty soon you're raising your hand to ask permission to shit.

That's my two cents. With the economy being the way it is that two cents probably isn't worth to much but that's all I've got.

The feds did not raid the other guitar makers in the U.S who by the same wood from the same suppliers. The DFW had issues with the wood not being in the fully finished form. While india and Madagascar saw no problems there and stated it in a letter to the DFW and EPA. As Gibson stated "If we out source the entire finishing process it will eliminate 40 U.S. jobs".

As for the micro stamping. The White House backs signing the U.N. Arms Treaty that basicly controls and regulates everything from a Battleship to the individual putting on a scope. We have already named sections of the counrty "World Heritage Lands" that come under U.N. control and signed the Law of the Sea treaty that requirers all waterways,rivers, lakes and such that empty into the oceans to be used in accordence with U.N. envirmental and species protection laws. Obammies also a proponent of the U.N. Mother Earth mandate. That give the earth and all the living forms equal standing to humans and the power to sue for damages and suffering. It's also a way to sneak Cap and Trade in. There is to much going on that the "media" does not or will not cover. We get a lot more info from the BBC world news and from relatives stationed in Germany then from here. You kind of have to read sort and toss alot to get to the truth. Paul

Maybe that's why Ford is building a billion dollar plant in India. And the CEO of GE (who PBO had at the speech) is moving GE aircraft division to China. And PBO has the NationalLlabor Relations Board sueing Boeing for tring to open a plant in South Carolina? 501 days now left. Get the vote out. You know these bastards will be using every trick in the book to keep this guy in office.

The tricks have already started.Read the article on Gibson Guitars.

Fords had factories overseas since the early 1900's.Great Briton, Russia, Germany Brazil and Turkey. Old Henry knew it was easier to sell a car built in country than an imported one.

I had to join the Teamsters when I worked for a sand and gravel company here, Cost a lot of money to let me service a machine on a job site or deliever pay checks.....

The one thing that was on the news one day was the Solar Panel co. he touted in California and gave 540 million to went bust. They closed because they could not compete with the overseas companies that sold the same product for 42% less. Seems the prevalling union wages slightly added to the cost. Vote him out!!!

After reading the transcrpt of the speech I see these are the main parts.Help Teachers keep their jobs, help Civil servents keep their jobs, help companies hire more people (to do?), help Union workers keep their jobs with shovel ready projects, renew unemployment to creat jobs(?) and help the banks and mortgage companies with their bad loans to creat jobs. Now we are going to colleges to sell the the package. Is it just me who hears nothing but "blah, blah, blah not my fault" or what?

You're good people, we could sure use more like you. Hats off to you. Paul

Ya forgot the eave vents for the "hood". Funny I was thinking of "one piece at a time" when I saw it..... Scary thought, the guy from American Trucker would probbly go ape over it. Paul

It's like going past a wreck, I can't stop looking at it a how many COE's were used to make it....Paul

Here is a salvage yard in Freehold N.J. on ebay with some good deals on rubber.Browse his listings he appears to have a ton of stuff and gives his phone number too Paul

Hope you all get the needed rain or at least the winds die off. Be carefully as you can. We had a big fire in the Pine Barrens here in '95 ,a baby fire compared to what you're dealing with, but I saw what it can do first hand. BE SAFE and BE CAREFULL. Our prayers are with you. Paul

My truck does not have a low air warning device. I figure it was not a requirement in 1961 so it shouldn't be a big deal. But I plan on cleaning up the air lines soon, few leaks behind the dash spewing oil out little by little, its a mess back there. In the process I figure it would be good to have a low air warning wig wag or similar device.

were low air warning devices required in 1961?

Do I need to update the system and add one? (from my tires post, 41 chevy posted a list that points to yes)

What low air warning devices were common in those days? I know of the wig wag that is mounted to the roof and would drop down if the air was low, were there any others?

The required safety devices in the inspection is relative to the year of your truck. You are required to have what was required in 1961. My mixer has a Low Air warning light that was added next to the gauge. It is wired to a pressure switch mounted in the primary air tank. The wiring and switch are definatly an add on. Paul

Wasn't there one on Ebay or truck trader just recently that had that exact paint job?? The one we were picking the grille apart on? Or is my memory getting worse then I thought?

I think your right. think thats factory, we have a few here in dark blue and silver. Paul

well thier complaint was after SUCCESSFULLY,finishing,boozer program,,the company wasnt going to put him behind the wheel.bob

I read the article in O.D mag and the driver did not take the companies program that is in a rehab facility, he joined AA to save his insurance costs before reimbersment. Most everybody I've seen in AA drinks as much or more than before they joined. Paul

New name for him! Good! Much better than hnic.

Whew, glad I'm not the only one that has that type of stuff happen. Hang in there.

Recaps from a main stream company are as good as new tires. I get mine from Max Finkelstein. He's a distributor for Good Year, Michelin and Hankook. He has 2 or 3 facilities in the N.Y. area. They have to meet DOT standards. Most casings can be safely recapped 2 or 3 times and are designed with that in mind. Savings are about a third less than new up here. There is an interesting side note, most of the road gators you see here are not from recaps failing, but from new tires being run low on air. Paul

I'll be in Hersey for the full 4 plus days. I'm sure I'll find something or be able get detail photos and dimensions from one. I'm also looking for the door slide channels to copy. You can PM me and I'll give you my personal e mail address to keep you posted. Paul

If you knew Arnie, you probably knew a guy named Larry Nien also. I ran with his kids, (Larry jr, Robbie, Mitch) when I was young. Larry built a LOT of Pontiac 421 "Super Duty" engines that would hold up to the rigors of drag racing. He actually ran a 62 Bonnevile named "Weekend Warrior" for several years and we spent some time wrenching on it.

I met Arnie Beswick at the UDRA Summer Nationals in 1970 when he ran a GTO funnycar, and again a few years ago at Cacklefest in E town. I followed him and Arlen mainly because the both ran Pontiac Tempests at one time. I some what recall the Weekend Warrior. Here in the N.Y. area the Poncho expert was and still is Nunzi Romano in Brooklyn and Royal Pontiac
