try the wikipedia pages on this forum, they have lots of info on there such as how many trucks were built in what years and a lot more.

Clinkingbeard looks like a man!

It was posted on here when it was on ebay, six months ago or so. The guy I got it from owned it for many moons so I don't think it was at a ritchie bros auction ever. She is so ugly, she is fine looking!

Has this truck been posted on here before? Recently I remember seeing one like that posted on here and I thought the general speculation was that it may have been a crane truck. Does anyone else remember that?

Driving a Volvo is like having sex with an ugly girl- it can be good, you just dont want to be seen doing it.....Or is that about KW's?? I can't remember......????

I thought it was "screwin' a fat girl is like riding a moped. Its fun till your freinds catch you on it!".

Sounds like lotsa fun Vinny. I am envious of you being able to play with your Mack, mine is 3 1/2 hours away from me.

I didnt much care for my first vehicle but since the price was right and my dad insisted on something practical I bought a 1958 Ford 1/2 ton short box stepside with a 223 I-6 with a 3 on the tree. Didnt have much power for with the gearing in it and it wasnt a 67-72 Chevy pickup (which I really wanted but couldnt afford) so it ended up being a very big headach since I cut corner posts, fence rails and grape stakes for $$$ and had to use my pick up to haul them once cut.

P.S. The real kicker here was my Dad wouldnt let me buy a 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS that a neighbor had put together. Basically needed paint and figure out why you couldnt get it into reverse. Dad wouldnt let me buy it so my buddy bought it and found out that some linkage had been bent and was on his way. I still have never owned a drivable car yet and probably at this stage in life wont since I would rather buy more Macks and play with them.

Agreed

and the compression relief valve and chain on the cummins is visible in one of the shots

What is that chain for?

sorry forgot to attach the pic for the above post.

This is what you need for your property Olivetroad. He looks harmless guarding his sled but if you tried to take the sled that he loves, watch out! He is actually pretty harmless but is intimidating as hell. There was a time that I took a job with FedEx and moved to Boise. The day I was moving in I was carrying stuff to a storage shed in the back yard when I noticed this tweeker looking over the 6 foot fence watching what I was putting in the shed. He then asked if I had any dogs and I said yes I have 2 german shepherds. About a week later I got off of the night shift about 3 am and was relaxing watching tv when I heard the dogs going nuts. I went out to see what the problem was and when I turned the porch light on in the backyard there was Lars my big male german shepherd with this tweekers arm in his mouth. I didnt try to stop either dog since they were simply apprehending the trespasser and not mauling him and called the cops. They arrived quickly and put the man under arrest and told me they have had multiple problems with this a-hole. I asked what was going to happen to me or my dogs since they were biting him and the cops told me nothing, he was trespassing in your yard over a 6 ft fence. I got a police report from them in case that little slime ball ever tried to sue me over it but nothing ever happened.

Man I love that B81! I am kinda getting the idea that I "need" one along with an H model too.

Sounds like a cool project, I am pretty sure you have to put a stronger tranny and mayber differentials? I will let Rob or someone else much smarter than me get into the specifics.

Hi there Doug, I am in northern Montana (Chester). We may cross paths someday. Ok enough of me stealing the thread.

...so what exactly makes a dirty word dirty? Isn't it just a bunch of letters strung together? For example, why is "shit" a foul word that offends some, but "poop", "crap", "turd", etc. are all OK to use? Don't they all mean the same damn thing?

They are just words. What is so offensive about them?

I read somewhere that shit derived from a shipping acronym from the 17th century. when manure was either cleaned up or shipped (not sure which maybe both) below the decks it had to be off of the floor so it couldnt get wet. The story I read said when the manure got wet it could put off enough methane that when a poor sailor with a lantern went below the deck could cause an explosion. Sooo every crate of manure had the acronym S.H.I.T. (Ship High In Transit) on it. Fuck I heard once was also an acronym of a crime (I think) Fornicating Under Carnal Knowledge. Dont know if either of these is true but they make a fun story about some of our favorite four letter words.

My Granddad cussed like a sailor (because he literally was) and I truly believe if someone didnt speak english and listened to a tape of him cussin' they would've thought it was poetry since if flowed together so fast and fluently. Besides I can distinctly remember sitting on top of the headache rack of the dumptruck in the shop with my brother listening very attentively to every cuss word that dad and granpa said while working on something and having a discussion (a VERY quiet one) with my brother about what we thought each word was or meant. I turned out fine.

I like that B model wrecker

Here's mine Olivetroad, Mossberg 590 A1 heavy barrel topped with ghost ring sights, six shell side saddle, super sling, 8+1 capacity of cuz I said so

I know that feeling all to well. First she will go through the stages of denial,sadness, and anger but will eventually come to accept your looniness.

So there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Olivetroad 1 Shithead 0. I have a Mossberg 590A1 that looks a lot like your scatter gun that hold 9 shots of cuz I said so. Hope the dirtbag gets caught.

That's funny, I usually do one of two things. 1) start asking them lots of questions that dont necessarily pertain to what they are selling until they get annoyed and hang up or 2) act real interested and pretend that the telemarketer is actually on of those dirty numbers that I have heard about and talk dirty to them until they give up and hang up.

He sounds like an asshole.

LOL, I literally was gasping for air in between laughs when I read your post GD. My wife thinks I am a full blown loon now.

^{Every time I stopped to think of something "deep" like jaird did I would get slapped in the back of the head and told "get your ass back to work" by my dad.}
