  1. Ken, Have you considered installing the door in the front?
  2. What engine is in this truck and how it's it going to be used? If it's a hobby truck and never going to be loaded, use aT200, 5,6,7 or 8 speed. With .6 overdrive you'll have good highway speed but never get it in high loaded.
  3. Ken, Make sure the jaws are open on your fifth wheel before you back under the trailer. A little grease might be the place to start.
  4. That would be about right if it was a rolloff. You get in and out four times every ten miles.
  5. The new owners of Hostess said it will hire at least 1,500 people, but they will be non-union employees. Read more: http://fox59.com/2013/04/26/twinkie-and-jobs-are-coming-back-to-indiana/#ixzz2RqXVIgf1

  7. Is that because you can load and unload yourself? I've had trucks siting at packing plants for hours with the refer running on my dime waiting for cows to come in the other end of the plant.
  8. NC. The local KW dealer was at $74. Check with the dealers it may be company wide promotions.
  9. Our local Mack dealer has had Group 31 batteries on sale for $69.
  10. The show is always Fathers Day weekend. The picture is Noon on Saturday.

  13. The International sold for $2000.
  14. Congratulations. Easier to shift if you don't use all gears. Start in third and don't use the splitter. Leave yourself plenty of room to stop when bobtailing. Especially if the pavement is wet. Enjoy.
  15. This one sold for $1500 today.
  16. The problem with shirts at Macungie is half the time they will be covered with a rain coat.
  17. I need one for a Spicer 8031.
  18. Doesn't look like a B. Good old school machine. What is the prefix (first 3) of the VIN? I'm going to look at a 941B tomorrow.
  19. I'll be there riding around Saturday in Lil Orange. Flag me down or call 919-932-3344. There's always the group photo at Watt's tent at noon.
  20. Do you have a link? Couldn't find it with a search.
  21. You might want to consider this one. Is is in your part of the country. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1953-MACK-LJ-/161011873415?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item257d0e3687
  22. Larry, Is it just me or do Oreos not soak up the milk the way they used to?
  23. Always heard that stuff "taste like what it looks like". That's why they put it in dark bottles. Miller looks like the Mexican urinals I see construction dumpsters.
