    You know truck driving is like the only occupation that OSHA exempts from rules about working at heights and climbing. Something about it falling under the jurisdiction of the DOT or FMCSA and they do not address the issue. In an industrial setting you can only climb a few feet (like maybe 3) before all kinds of regulations about fall protection and everything kick in. I've been in plants where they require you to wear a harness and be clipped off just to run a scissor lift

    Back in the day I used an old pallet jack I found in the scrap and fixed for a wheel dolly

    Nice garage. I'm guessing the door is like 12 feet?

    Shortest of the short busses. Actually wouldn't make a bad jockey truck. Automatic, small motor, staircase for saving the knees. Wonder if it has a hydraulic 5th wheel

    I'll be damned. I never knew they put them in pickups

    I saw them in an old service manual years ago, but I never saw a real one. I kinda forgot about them. Did you ever see one?

    Kind of funny. I used to go up there when I operated out of Philly bringing loaded ones back to the yard and taking empties back. The standards then were if it can hook up to a chassis and move, it was good enough. Fenders torn off, bald tires, door tied shut with a rope, license plates you found in a salvage yard, massive oil leaks, no drivers license, no problem. I remember a few I didn't want to get near because they were wet staking and blowing a spray of soot, diesel, and motor oil. My 14 year old 1968 R685ST was like a Cadillac in comparison. Needless to say, I loved the place lol

    Here is something about open cabs I'd read before but forgotten. That is why they went away in the 60's

    Back on track here. I really like the Diamond T, maybe because I have one But the IH looks like a nice solid truck that would be easy enough to fix up and paint. I'd have a hard time cutting it up. How rusty is the Diamond T cab? Those were a good rugged cab

    As a racially pure blonde Polish Catholic girl she'd be something I'd be into But the truth is she is one of "Those Filthy Communists" and an atheist

    It's a propaganda movie. And ridiculously over the top Why didn't Hollywood make any movies about the horrors committed by the Soviets? Sophie was a work of fiction Lore Bauer was real

    I have an pneumatic pump and hose reel on the wall and I buy it by the 120 pound keg. The 50W is in a 5 gallon pail with a hand pump. Not to mention the 85-140 is already what's in all the older Macks All of it's getting crazy expensive. The kegs of 85-140 are about 400 bucks now, the synthetic that is in the new trucks is close to 1,000.

    Real estate ladies are notorious for calling code enforcement. When they get a listing, they will call on anyone near the listing

    There is no brass in the transmission he has. I run the 50 straight mineral in my trans that have synchros like the Fullers

    Looks good. Is your plan to keep the original paint and lettering?

    Oh BTW, there are shims needed to install a new cl50 clutch. You remove shims to compensate for wear. If his is worn out somebody probably took all the shims out already. Make sure he has them
