41chevy

is the air cleaner smashed?

And then some. I'll keep me eye out for a okay one in my scrap travels.

That's to bad that the truck turned out to be junk. Hard to find trucks that age in good shape in New England. I'm sure everyone here will be looking for you too.

The R was a tater hauler from Northville / Riverhead. The Glass nose could be repaired,I went back last weekend and picked up all the pieces. The cab has the roof and drivers door cut off by S.B.F.D. can't fix that.

Have to trade it for some parts for my B mixer with some Radar guy in Illinouis......

Paul

what year is your old r model 41chevy?

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

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

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

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. Paul

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.

Just like she looks is how I felt dealing with the insurance adjuster today... So how many gears to fast???

Yeah kind of the Rockteer on wheels!!

Sure going to need that donor F..

I vaguely remember the moving vans but the only local horse carrier I recall pulling out of Roosevelt was Woodbury Horse Transportation. They had black IH Transtars.

Is that farm still putting out potatoes?

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

They hit a guys in SC last year that has a ton of Militaria stuff, before they left driving out there was a LJ or LF in his front yard that made me want to track em down.

Maybe the same episode , some guy had a AC Bulldog or AB ( I cant remember) they looked at they were thinking of buying

The guy had an AB I recall they thought it was worthless, course they also thought the 1940 Levis I.H. was a joke..

Thought those yellow signs and flashing lights were decorations.....Maybe I better start reading them.

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

Hunky is a derogatory word to describe-Polish,Ukrainian,Slovak,and Lithuanian, which I am, I just so happened that a lot of these nationalities were brought over to work in the mills and coal mines in and around pittsburgh.....If you want good quality pierogies you have to get them from an older lady in a babushka! Thats what my grandma and her friends always had on when they were making them for the annual street festivals.lol

Babushka!!! Haven't heard that in years!! My Babcia always had one on as did my wujenkas

I guess not all things go better with Coke. Paul

Jeff looks like he had one to many Perogies

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

Yes in fact I graduated high school from William Floyd in '80. Born in Mineola and lived in Carle Place, Westbury, Terryville, Selden and 3 places in "Shirley and the Mastics"

I just noticed that trailer has the new logo on the nose and the old logo on the side.

Was Walton P. Davis a moving company? I remember the name but can't picture the equipment.

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

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

During the war much of the pasta was manufactured in St. Louis that went into the products. Much of the meat was produced in E. St. Louis IL at both the Armor, and Hormel plants then located there. My grandma worked at both plants as a butcher/packer at that time for the war effort.

Rob

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

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

Need more Uni Corns......

Sounds good, never realized how bad the cab is. Paul

I had been wanting to see a photo of your AC crane - I just "fingered" out how to look up your album - I am slow at this. Have you done any work to it since that picture?

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

The tank would only hold about three congressmen and then they would start stepping on each other's rights.

Rob

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
