Joseph Cummings

No Eugene ended up with it, But after he died in March of 2015 everything turned into a cluster F, then his wife died and I lost track of everything. Did you know Eugene

It's like heaven, if heaven had anthracite mines and breakers

The LT might bring some money. The little L cab needs a bit of work. The 281 single axle wrecker is interesting, but no under reach and the wrecker is kind of light and no serious winching capacity, so that is just a toy too. It's not like you could put it to work. Other than the LT I don't see anything bringing five figures

When you open them up that big there are a lot of structural considerations. Probably be fine if you are building a trailer queen show truck, But if you put it to work you better have added some structural reinforcements or else that cab is going to crack starting with the upper rear corners of the door frame and getting worse. Have you ever seen an R Model that has been run with the bar between the steering axle's spring hangers that everyone thinks is just to hold up battery cables and the fuel crossover, missing or loose? It'll break the cab up just like that. And believe me, that is a hard fix

It's a small cam Cummins, and most likely a RTO95****** trans that is only rated for a 900 foot pound engine. Maybe it's got a 2 countershaft Spicer 4 way in it if you are lucky like a 1241 and you can run a 9 speed in front of it

I don't know if you guys remember Tom Zacney. The LF below was his before he died. He had a really big collection of Macks, all kinds of stuff When Tom died he had a lot of cool trucks, Heavy spec L cab stuff and all kinds of things. All kinds of conditions, lots of them ran and drove. All the collectors that wanted them so bad wanted to pay less than scrap value. So much of it ended up going over the scale at Allegheny Iron. From my experience most collectors talk a great story, but never come with the cash. They want you to hold on to stuff while they think about it, and talk BS

I've mounted tubeless tires with the ether and run them until I wore them out, then sent them to be capped, and ran them God knows how long, and never had a problem. Sure I'd rather have a tank blaster, but sometimes you got to work with what you got. I usually hear BS about doing it from the same kind of guy that will tell you that recaps on the steering axle are illegal

I've done the starting fluid thing many times. I never saw it damage the tire. I've even used a piece of mudflap or a McCall's magazine for a boot in a tube type a few times. I'm not sitting on the road dead waiting to be preyed upon by some vulture or some idiot that turns everything into a project. I wouldn't let a Loves, a Flying J, a Pilot or any other chain store mechanic touch anything. Those places only hire idiots

I'd go 5 or 6 thousand

I started with guys with guys who were bootleg coal haulers during the depression. They carried a vulcanizing clamp thing that burned gasoline to patch their own tubes. They broke the tires down themselves by running another truck over it to break the bead. If they tore a large hole in a tire they would put a magazine inside the tire to cover the hole and use another tube. I don't think I'd want your average driver today to even change his own tire

Now they have this thing called "HR". It's a "Make Work" program for women with worthless college degrees. It's their job to make sure all that stuff like diplomas and forms for stuff like selecting your gender and pronouns, and a million other checks and background searches are done. They make sure that whoever you are looking to hire is eliminated before the first interview. That way the guy who is in charge of actually getting anything things done never gets to meet a skilled applicant. This assures you will only be getting welders who can't strike an arc, machinists who look at a drill press like it's something from Mars, and mechanics who can't jump start a truck even though they are wearing a full arc flash suit.

These crazy Czechs and their Tatras

What if you have to apply for a job? My uncle left high school to enlist in the Navy during WW2. Somehow he was supposed to receive a diploma but somehow it slipped through the cracks. He went on to be an industrial electrician and retired in the 80's. Somehow this came to somebody's attention and they had a ceremony to award him and a couple other guys their diplomas. Well he was the only one still living and just barely. Well into his 80's and up on stage in a wheelchair with the mayor. The mayor hands him his diploma and they ask him if he has anything to say. He thinks for a minute and says "Now I can finally get a job"
