Vladislav

Welcome and good luck on the project! Vlad

Oh, hell! Now I see my old and long forgotten pasword is in place of my username. What the hell is going on... Hope We'll be able to go through all that since it's not the end of the world. I hope

Just got off for a day and found out everything "upside down". That noted Dirtymilkman's post announce titeled "WTF" and calmed down. I'm too from being a fan of unexpected changes and hate when it happens to a thing I deal with. Sure can understand a tech issue wich could initiate a "collapse". Would like to see the forum's look as it was before.

Cool family day! Hmm..., I just meant it was cool with all the water drops. Now I see that yellow thingy is big! Looks great wet washed

Tom, don't drink too much, that was just a coil !

Your T2070 has 0.6 in the top hole. The same is in T2060 and T2080. T2090,2100,2130 and 2180 are slower in OD, only 0.71. T107's are lower again, 0.78 if not direct. So if you want to keep your top speed or RPM's at the same level on the same speed T2060 and 2080 are the way to go. If you'd like multiple speeds you're in the rears swap field. Any tranny you'll put your eye on you should check about a top speed ratio and relate to what you have (0.60). Than make the math.

I'd go with silver or black. Dark cherry might work either. Actually if you really want you can go with many extraordinary colors too such as green or blue if you put some minor parts colored the same on the truck. For examle green door script and some green lines over the tank or wheel rims. Lettering color that matches a chassis paint might work nice if chassis is bright or attractive.

A scuare visor is one nice looking thingy on a MH. I'd like to get one either. But It's difficult to find and costy to ship overseas. And actually I'm not too far on the MH resto to get me scratching my head with not top important part. Congrats on the V8 deal.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa. People use to age, not become younger though. Neat pictures, I like the RW dump. And the road shot with the rocks in the background just kills me.

Thank you for sharing. The oversize load is impressive. It gets me thinking on how seldom I can see anything oversized here. Sure there are some big showels or cranes transported but far from to be that much. I know there's a dead planty of ristrictions and other BS about oversize transporting and it seems to me as a mark of the economy development. Easier to say some ones do job and the other just busy creating restrictions... And the coil sure got a drop. Nice pic with a green B-model.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how AC could make cool your LEFT knee

Keep on the progress! I don't know do you have AC in your truck or not but driving mine in the summer I found out that the roof vent work fine. Gives alot of fresh air in and cools off the inside. I would say it effects much more than I would expect. On the other hand you can cut a hole in the plate you weld any moment you want to. Just vent assembly would be required.

Great!

They don't indeed. Because it's a dark time on the East Coast.

I felt the same when put 11R24.5 on my R-model in place of 11R22.5's. Might think about 12R24.5's but the only offer was 11's to fit 24.5 wheels. Or smaller ones.

Good eye! Agree By the word I once figured out that actually 12.00-24 tube tyres and 11.00R24.5 tubless have absolutely the same inside diameter.

Paul, are those old rigs still in Virginia but in your conteiners?

Tim, what's a story behind that green MH? I don't remember you've shared any about. A top secret object?

Different brands cost different indeed but their products are made of either different stainless steel and thiknesses. If you go with 304 SS it's a top quality material. If you slow down to 430 as I've done you might save some dimes. A couple of years back I put the pair of boxed style tailights on the truck. They were offered as a economy product and made of 430 SS. After two winters outside I found neither of dark spots or other issues on their surface and resolved fenders of the same steel would work fine for a hobby truck. My one has Canadian spread rears and I was able to order a set of Trux (or called something like that) ribbed ss full's for just a bit more than $500 from Big Rig Chrome Shop. I would give you an advice to pay attention to parts that fitted to trucks at a truck show. You can note a style they mounted, a way they actually look and what is more important their condition during a service.

Looks great! What have you done to it?

Bob, don't forget to share some pics when it's ready.

That's all pretty interesting. Thank you for sharing with us.

James, I wouldn't argue with the cat's meow but it worth called the dog's bark either.

Looks like air in the prime fuel. Might come into the system when parked and the most probably through the spots you saw wet.

Left and right hinges aren't similar on a R-model. There is a limiter on the right ones to not hit the air cleaner opening a door wide.
