  4. when i used to do my meet and turns carlin nv,,,,i used to get a kick out of watching these guys going back and forth numerous times to back into a straight hole,,,,like wow man,,,,how the hell did you pass your test?????
  5. ok thats some funny shit,,,,,thats why we all had to start on the dock,,,,,and train with a guy that started on chain drives
  6. the cabs in those things were not built for very tall people,,,,only shot you got is to go from high back captain seat to a thinner shorter seat,,,which will give you more leg room but they wont be as comfortable as what you have,,,good luck ,,bob
  7. It’s a no-brainer, but the other side never wants to disturb the dirt unless it’s lithium no limit dig dig dig I think we’re back to the original complaint. Why don’t we just do it here?
  8. He did mention that Swift does not chain up . I did not know that it might have something to do with that because there was chain controls on Donner pass, and it was closed on and off for several days.
  9. Well, that sucks but time changes everything. It looks like it used to be a firehouse.
  10. Wow, that’s a beautiful truck, but it looks a lot like the new Maverick over here which I really like. Thanks for that.

  13. It should be in parts wanted section but more people will see it here sorry I can’t help you…but watts was just recently offering rebuild kits for V8s but I don’t know what version good luck
  14. You know the floodgates have been wide open and way too long, and everybody has become mighty comfortable with the entire caper … and frankly, I feel our younger generation doesn’t give a flying hoot about bringing jobs back here and that respect the king is probably wasting his time anyway, but I gotta give him a hats off for the effort … bob
  15. Ever since the company started in 1966 they have always been open to new ideas used to be Viking freight lines before Federal Express bought them I guess they thought they’d give these things a shot. Most of us didn’t like them some guys did.
  16. Fedex bought a bunch of them a few years back. They were nothing but junk. They were smooth and quiet. Everything works real good heater air condition stereo but they were the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and I was always something wrong with them one I had it was down in deadline Like 12 times and nine months. I couldn’t wait to get out of that thing the company wound up getting rid of all of them in the next go around where peterbilts… bob
  17. That’s not a bad looking rig at all thanks for that. I haven’t been following this tread in a while.bob
  18. My God I can’t find anything wrong with that one perfect set up ha ha especially the wheels come on?????????
  19. As I mentioned retired, you can screw off all you want, and you always have the following day to work on that
  20. I was going to go mess with it today after I fertilize my grass, not feeling so good. I don’t know what’s the matter. Not even sure if I’m gonna get out there today.
  21. You know somebody mentioned air and fuel. I do have a small intake line seeping. I have been ignoring it for quite some time. I wonder if that would cure it
  22. Ha ha that’s another thing you mentioned that people don’t realize till they get too far into it. Send you all over the United States and have your sitting half the time. One of our weather Man, Here in Reno. Quit the TV station and trained for a class a license wound up hiring on with swift. My wife follows him on Facebook. He claims they pay him to hang around and wait. I don’t know where that started or how much he makes but that’s a great. Thing to offer and I don’t know how long that has been going on especially with that cheap shit outfit but even if it’s minimum wage It’s better than nothing.
  23. Miss this somehow that was pretty good but it seems to fit my cruise liner and my U model more so than this bucket of bolts I got now ha ha thanks for that… bob
  24. One thing about that engine it’s got great compression. It’s very hard to turn it over with a bar.
  25. Nobody wants to do that kind of work anymore. Too many hours low pay a lot of times especially these days. It takes a long time to get into a good out fit but does not help with their drivers shortage not like the old days you just wait your turn and jump right into a teamster sweetheart deal
