Swishy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 A good friend needs sum info about his beast1943 Autocar U8224P 5-6 ton Wreckeranybody kno of these beasts?Thanx in advanceCya§wishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 My fellow BMT member, I have scanned the info that will support your friend's research.However, the website's system says I "have exceeded my allotted disk space for attachments". One of the core values of the BMT website, a key pillar that has allowed it to leap forward in popularity and become global in scope and viewership, is the exchange of knowledge. As inexpensive as disc space is today, it would be a shame for the website to plateau here.I will e-mail you the information (scanned photographs). But please post those four scans here so that all BMT viewers may benefit.I again want to emphasize that the ability to share such truck knowledge with all BMT viewers is the core element which has, up to now, allowed BMT to soar.

1958 F.W.D. Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Swishy tell your Mate that if he's on Facebook, to look up the "Friends of Autocar" group. There are many former factory folks on there that know quite a bit of information. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Certainly a unique looking truck.

41chevy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Isn't this a matter of deleting old attachments? Is this something that is unique to all websites or just BMT? It is common to most all Forums with a basic memory cap for members. Yes, deleting older /oldest attachments with free up space. Using an outside source like Foki, Photo Bucket or Drop Box will not limit your attachments,because it is a linked item.

Red Horse Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Is there a way that bmt can make exceptions at least for some of these guys who are literally a fountain of information to ensure it get on here and never gets lost?Agree 100%. this is a great site-because of some people who have inside knowledge most of us don't have. It is common to most all Forums with a basic memory cap for members. Yes, deleting older /oldest attachments with free up space. Using an outside source like Foki, Photo Bucket or Drop Box will not limit your attachments,because it is a linked item.41-good thought but if this was the option, often times we see posts that refer to items that were in fact previoiusly posted months ago. Seems like that is a good feature to retain. Is it a cost factor to expand the "memory cap"? My first thought, if the "cap" is based on the potential for ALL members to utilize that cap, I would have to think that posters (such as myself) would never come close to hitting that number.

tjc transport Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It is common to most all Forums with a basic memory cap for members. Yes, deleting older /oldest attachments with free up space. Using an outside source like Foki, Photo Bucket or Drop Box will not limit your attachments,because it is a linked item.the reason for the post size limit on most forums is to keep from overloading the servers.before Internet Brands bought FTE there was a very small post size limit, and if a thread reached more than 1000 posts it would put a heavy load on the servers when multiple threads that large would try to load at the same time. so we would split threads and close the old ones at around 500 posts to keep from overloading the servers.then IB came aboard and revamped everything with their very large server farms and eliminated the problems. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
