  1. saw this plastic bottle in our recycle box,,,,got a brainstorm possibly chop it all up and might be perfect for first coat of fiberglass,,,for my upcoming sculpturing project...bob
  2. Yes, I’ve have been following that on the news. I have the day off. Terrible I guess they’re still trying to find people stuck in the water. They have a lot of help according to the news channel. Thanks for that Larry.
  3. I did that on a 51 Chevy truck door latch. One time came out pretty good…. Bob
  4. That’s probably what I would’ve attempted myself and yes, it sounds easier than what it probably was… bob
  5. I was wondering what he was talking about thanks for that… bob
  6. Thanks for that… kind of like F model Mack…. They were everywhere all of a sudden, they all disappeared… bob
  7. Hell, I’m scratching my head trying to figure out how you got so much accomplished and so little time. Great progress thanks for sharing. Truck Looks amazing.bob …
  8. excellent man no I don’t know what to tell you either. It’s probably not positive ground but I would wait for better advice. Thanks for the post…. Bob
  9. Wow with more photos it looks a little bigger than it first did… hell I think it will definitely do some damage. Excellent thanks for sharing. Yes, I was just thinking of working on my Montgomery ward lawn tractor but I’m sure it’s not gonna happen. I’ll go to the back of my workshop for now, but I have all the parts to fix it. Bob
  10. Man, I almost missed this one. That’s a nice little deal for shit. That’s a little too much for a hand shoveling thanks for that. Bob
  11. Too many likes fellas I thought I’d put them all down here. I broke in as I’ve mentioned an R model.and U model most of us were sitting really high in both models but I do agree if that’s what you like go for it. I do appreciate a lot of extra lights and chrome just not necessarily my style as far as sitting on the floor I will never understand that one…. Bob
  12. The 60s version was pretty cool as well Thanks for that Paul… bob
  13. Not sure if we have any super truckers except for 25 year-old kids with automatics… they sure walk around with a huge chip on their shoulders.. bob
  14. TJ I see those all day long across 80. I don’t think they look good at all, but my wife brought up the fact they probably do it for the sun in their face. I thought I have really not thought of that. Maybe you’re right. pretty much everything has a air shield these days. Trucks Kind of look weird without one.bob
  15. I Brought up a buddy of mine was driving something like that way back around 1980 leaves Salem and go to Sturbridge every day. I don’t know exactly what he was doing.he used to haul steel… straight truck .. bob
  16. I was thinking the same thing I think most of us pretty much forgot about them until somebody recently brought them up… bob
  17. Visers, I could take them leave them They look good with both with or withouts with the older roof vents like mine, and I would rather not have one… bob
  18. i’d like to go down there just to see it. I am sure it would be very interesting to a lot of us to look at. We would be aaaaaawwwwwwed size my workmanship, but yes, it would be a real problem trying to move it anywhere… bob
  19. Well we lost alotta companies with deregulation killed most of the real good outfits went to thousands of small firms or one man operations i’m not going to turn into a bitch fest , but that’s what happened. We were all way better off when the union was strong a lot more opportunities for a good paying jobs. That’s all, I’m gonna say I don’t know anything about over there. I’m sure Paul can give us an earful. … bob
  20. I had not thought of the fact it’s probably just as wide as the truck. I was thinking it was just a heavy duty drop deck. so yeah you’re probably right. It’s not gonna do a whole lot of people a whole Lotta good…. Bob
  21. thats pretty much,,,what happened in my area.....tons of petes hauling dirt everwhere ,,,,freight trucks around here,,,are mainly slope nose boring plastic,,,bob
  22. looks like it was pretty well setup all around for some serious work...wow,thanks for that....bob
  23. Yes, that’s what they do and they ordinarily buy property. They do not rent. It’s been that way since it was Viking Freight started in 1966. They also pay cash for all their equipment. It’s a pretty good place to work for as I mentioned before I wish I would’ve started here a long time ago, for my retirement would be a little bigger And Mecho,,,,,, I used to work with an ex greyhound driver and I was asking him one day around 20 years ago or more whatever happened to Trailways he said Greyhound bought them to get rid of the competition I didn’t ask him why he wasn’t over there anymore. He was now driving trucks…. My Pop drove for a Greyhound back 1946 through 1948. I never did ask him why he left them either most of his life was driving trucks often wondered how he wound up over there and why he left. I still have his safety pins that he got all three years. He was over there. Bob
  24. I am thinking if you sit on it a while and send out the right advertisements you could probably unload it heavy haul outfit
