  1. Working on getting this B model grafted back together. Looks like I can get a 124" wheelbase. Seems long for a single axle but maybe not with a small sleeper installed.

      Decided to not install a sleeper since this will be a working truck.

  3. Mark will do alright as long as he doesn't approach the epicenter of the intersection of the angle of reflection and the cosine of the angle of refraction. It is at this point where worlds collide and life ceases as we know it due to increasing convection elevating field strength temperature above absolute zero

      D/A sand the roof with 80 grit or courser or it will peel. That is great stuff but needs a good "tooth" to stick.

      I feel your pain-nothin' hurts like a toothache.Motrin is the only thing that I ever took that seemed to relieve a toothache.

      I'm on Vicotin, and penecillin. Still can't open my mouth very far and sucking soup through a straw, (literally).

  8. Swelling has receeded in my jaw a bit. Can now open my trap about 7/16 of an inch which is just enough to shove a spoon full of soup through. Lots easier than a straw. Momma has been showing unusual compassion for me all day.

      go borrow your mother-in-law's wringer washing machine and when Momma makes you a sammich she can run it through a few times until it doesn't exceed 7/16 in thickness.

  9. Get a call from dentist office confirming my Wednesday appt. Give them an update on my jaw and they want to see me ASAP! They pull the plug in my tooth and about get sprayed from the puss ball underneath!! Dentist says, Damn, never seen one this bad. Imagine that I say. New prescription for strong antibiotic to kill infection tastes like shit but hope it works. I getting hungry for solid food.

      now I feel terrible for making jokes about it-nothing hurts worse than a toothache!

  10. Feeling broke. Need a load of Peterbilt parts for a scrap run.

      my starter hung and burned plum up before I could get the engine turned off.I was gonna mail it to you,but didn't have enough stamps.

  11. Hopefully you received an answer to your question Don. I did not see the question.

  12. Busted a spring shackle on the way home from Chicago today. The "Trusty, yet Crusty" Dodge still got me home. Will order parts for both sides tomorrow.

  13. Got the spring shackles replaced tonight along with new rear shocks. Nice difference in ride quality.

  16. Hi Herb, happy belated birthday. Sorry I overlooked it but it is also my wife's birthday too.

    Have you ever had a TRTL 1070B trans apart? Bought a nice R model cab from a guy that has some extra parts and he says this trans would grind a bit going into a couple of different gears. He wasn't sure which ones and it did not hop out of gear. They just replaced the trans with a si...

  19. Awww Geez, everytime I put negative pressure in my mouth like sucking on a straw, I draw out some fresh puss from within the gumline under the teeth. Like me it has bad taste. Jaw is starting to loosen up a bit in movement but still can't eat solid food. And that dogmeat was sounding so good too.

  20. New antibiotic must be doing some good. That dull ache is diminishing through the rt. side of my face and I can actually carve that green shit from between my tooth and gum.

  21. Think that's why I can't remember shit. Burnt my brains out in the 70's.

  22. They finished up with this root canal on my tooth today. Don't think I've ever felt this kind of pain before.

  23. Up most of the night with this bonafide pain in my jaw.
