Was Page and Page suspension popular in N.H. and VT.? I looked at a B and a REO  in the respective states  and both had the same suspension.

My B75 has Page and Page suspension. No clue about it popularity though.

3D printer ?

Stupid question, do they make 3D printers that use metals or are they all just plastics?  If they are just plastic is it strong enough to use as a bracket?  I’m not doubting your answer KS I’m just curious.

Unfortunately it sounds like the infectivity of this strand is increasing rapidly, which I don't think anyone who actually knew what they were talking about expected.

That’s what the worry has been all along. This is a respiratory disease found in animals which mutated and humans caught it, then it mutated yet again making it possible for it to be passed from human to human. No one knows for sure how far/fast this thing is/has mutated. 

Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to explain that. 

If you don’t mind could you elaborate a little more? It looks like you have painted the sign then applied the vinyl then clear coated over it? 

Looks excellent. I’d hang that in my shop. Do you do hand lettering or is the lettering vinyl or something? Just curious how you do it. 

Looks like top notch work to my untrained eye.

I didn't know it was monetary, I thought it was all about pictures getting used elsewhere. They were all in an uproar about that.

 

I know some of you will disagree, but I just don't see why the big commotion. You post pics on a PUBLIC INTERNET. People with an interest in trucks look at, save or repost the pics.

What does it matter if your name is on it or not? Nobody knows who you are anyway. it's just a pic. It's not like people are beating down your door offering to pay you a million dollars for your truck pictures. I don't know, I just don't get it.

 

I post lots of pics on sites, I see them end up different places with no credit to me. Awesome! Glad people enjoyed them enough to look at and use them. I'll get you more. Didn't cost me a cent to take the pic with my phone and post, LOL.

I’m with you on this one. It seems to me the more people who pass the pics around on the internet the better chance of sparking interest in the next generation of truck collectors. If the truck collecting community does not want to share pictures, information and their passion for old iron, the old iron will soon be reincarnated into shelving in my opinion. 

It’s a pita at the time but after these type of swaps you come away with a lot of knowledge about your running gear and engine.

Cool picture. Where was it taken?

If you blow up the first picture the sign says Florida oranges straight from the grove. Being the 30’s and transportation wasn’t what it is today I wonder if it was in Florida or an adjoining state?

Man that gray and black truck in the original post is beautiful. 

I’m surprised that such a heavy duty truck like that being a single axle. Neat truck at any rate. 

Well they removed the weird comment from that person or spam bot. Now back to drag cars and such

That’s weird ⬆️⬆️ (Not you Larry the odd one commenting on an obvious autocorrect mistake)
 

It does and you sure as heck don’t want to use the past tense like Mr. Colbert did. 😁

BMT is the closest thing to social media for me as well. No Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other stupid thing. 

Probably had the trailer lifted too high and the king pin skipped right over the fifth wheel plate. 

If it’s on your titan could it be the traction control applying brakes to one side trying to gain traction?  My 2014 Coronado does that if the antispin (traction control) isnt turned off.

Mopar has come a long ways in the 2-3 decades. They went from tinny bodies that fell apart, power windows that often times didn’t work to get multiple JD Power and Associates truck of the year awards.

Nice, but those guys can't go on selling Hemi powered muscle cars and Jeeps forever.

Why not?  All the other two of the big three have high horsepower options throughout their line up why can’t mopar?  Mopar was the first into the 1/2 ton and small suv diesel out of the big 3, they have a few different 4 and 6 cylinder options as well as a few v8 options. Sounds like business as usual in the car world to me. 

Looks like someone used the search function came up with this thread and added their question to it. 

Good for you Paul. The right car will come along. Don’t be a gullible fool like me and get burnt because you can’t even fathom someone being dishonest to your face. Keep us posted.  

You realize this is a 5 year old thread I hope. 

That’s a good one Alex. Did you find that picture on Akward Family Photos?  If not you must look it up. Tons of photos people submit like the one above usually accompanied by a family friendly caption. 

Not mine.  https://greatfalls.craigslist.org/hvo/d/fort-benton-classic-gmc-astro-cabover/7073471722.html
