  1. And yes those 2 heavy shims are not helping at all
  2. lol thanks for that I did find a chunk of steel right before I pulled the plug yesterday it looks like an old tire chain wrench that looks like it’s a perfect size to push through everything.. yeah I’m usually alone .. even if I had help someone would have to be laying underneath and wouldn’t be easy to see what I needed him to do
  3. If you’ve got steel mirror brackets it’s going to be a lot easier
  4. I did not know that … bob
  5. OK, I finished the box brought it over with the engine hoist couldn’t get any bolts started clearly this is a two man operation and there’s only me. I’ll go out there and give it another shot in the afternoon. Got a couple of errands this morning.
  6. Excellent thanks for that…. Hard to believe your truck is that old.
  7. that MR trash compactor would be more appealing to me,,,or atleast thats what it looks like
  8. i assumed it was some sort of bug exterminator,,,,for commercial spraying,,,household,,,or farms even big warehouses
  9. God love you for the thought Larry. I don’t even wanna make a comment on this except for many hours of searching for parts and as you mentioned shipping bills best of luck that’s a big big order you’ve got there.
  10. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I passed a brand new Volvo a while back and it looked exactly like the anthem
  11. And as far as I’m concerned, all Freight trucks are weird looking now.. bob
  12. That’s really weird. I got a spellcheck on my computer. I have to use it all the time.
  13. Well, the plan is to finish the box and put it back in today and then Friday go down and get two new lines made have it up and running Friday then start on rear end ha ha well, let’s see what happens
  14. Wow, thanks for that. Looks excellent Bob.
  15. Oh, forgot to mention our supermarket is also right in there. It’s a huge area with all kinds of retail, pet shop supplies, clothes shoes.
  16. Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me at all. We’ve got so many cars here now and everybody is in a big old hurry. This place is absolutely horrible speeding tailgating illegal passing running lights. It’s ridiculous here. I really don’t even like to drive anywhere I’ve mentioned before I only take my car out three times a week to the gym 5 miles each way and I hate even doing that. Fortunately, most of my business is on the way to the gym Home Depot FedEx shipping dentist. It’s all in the same area. As well as many restaurants we would like to trade with I feel your pain Dave. I ran down into LA many years and believe it or not with all the traffic they have down there. I had more incidents up here very glad to be done with roadwork.
  17. I’ve had very good luck with reception on the back of the cab or the passenger door these days with all the plastic it’s a little bit more difficult than it used to be our Peterbilts have a pigeon perch on both sides above the doors, makes it very easy to hook the cable and antenna up and run ithe cord through the door weatherstripping kind of hard to explain without being there to point out what I’m talking about
  18. I am not sure what to tell you I used to run a lot of CB radios. If it looks like it’s too difficult you might wanna just run it in the back of your cab. There’s lots of us that used to mount them on the slide bar where your airlines hang from Above the back window or just bolt the bracket to the back of the air shield and run your cord through the window, insulation side door and tuck it into the ceiling panel. But wherever you mount the antenna, the bracket has to be grounded on steel. You might need to run a ground strap from a bracket to wherever you can find anything steel back of air shells usually has both going into the cab. You can put the ground strap on one of those bolts. Good luck. Bob.
  19. Same here Paul it’s only been a few years where I started any serious precautions first 60 or so years I did absolutely nothing to take care of myself.. but after retirement, my blood pressure dropped almost 30 points and I cut way back on Booze a few months ago
  20. Well this eye bullshit thier telling her she only 25 percent average of getting better
  21. You know I owned a 48 and a 51 Chevy pickup seems I remember them looking like that very long ago hard to remember I do remember I had a 67 IH scout and the outside door handles looked exactly like R model handles
  22. Well they all look to be carpet munchers… but apparently they can’t control crime worse care to lol bob
  23. Coincidence I’m at the doctors right now with Mrs mower she is getting a second injection for burst eyeball vein do to elevated blood pressure got the pressure under control but apparently these injections are a routine thing now
  24. I was tapping that side cover a bit if you really need to know Dave but thanks for your interest and yes, it is brand new by the way not so much the steering box but there is a little bit of history behind the brand new hammer ha ha keep you guessing
