And if you get near the 'hood there's always that barbecue! Or, if you could, the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum is well worth a visit. It's about 2 hours from here, me and Zina got married there. It's right off Interstate 95 in Colonial Heights, Va. Let us know when you're gonna be there, we'll ride down. Maybe 1958FWD will come too. I'm at the blue dot, the museum is at the red balloon. All we have to do is follow that little gray line. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I have a very loose plan in mind Fly into JFK, and head loosely for Cline landing in Alberta Canada, then to L.A., then New Orleans and back to New York What I do in between is pretty much unplanned Tim Maikshilo from the forum has sorted a set of wheels for me Wanna see mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse monument, Grand Canyon, and what ever else tickles my fancy So I reckon we can probably catch up Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 As much as I'd love to have you over for a barbecue, if you can only do one or the other, the museum would be a much more memorable experience...or maybe it wouldn't 🤣 I've seen Mt. Rushmore, I delivered a water tank to a campground near there in 98 or 99. That's a '98 Freightliner I was driving. All the pictures I took on that trip were taken with disposable 35mm cameras that I bought along the way, so the picture quality wasn't the greatest. I think they were just getting started on the Crazy Horse monument. I've never seen the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone park either. 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I just tried to duplicate it, but my little disposable picture taking device wasn't the greatest. I think the picture I saw was taken from that same spot, so they might have made that pull-off for them. 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted May 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 21 I finally drove the International out of the driveway today. I went up to Sheetz and put some gas in it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ff8kEm26qJtUHRNz6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/46K913tixCahPa5r7 The first video is when I left here, the other one is on rt. 460 on the way home. It ran great! I need to practice driving it though, I was scraping every gear like it was the first time I'd ever been in a truck. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

As in what did the fella rebuilding it find wrong ? Paul Bob, it's a 5 speed with a 2 speed rear. Carburetor guy found that the rubber O ring, or whatever it is, was gone off the thing it was supposed to be on in the accelerator pump. ( I'm not a carburetor guy🤣). It was laying down in the bottom of the carb, and he said he found more trash and debris in it, which was most likely clogging something up. It ran good, it was surprisingly "peppy". 1 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rubber Duck 006 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Awesome Video's my friend!!! I remember my Grandpa talking about them "GAS Jobbys" he knew a guy that hauled steel with one he could pull double loads with it. Well when the diesels started coming out the guy bought a fancy Freightliner with all the fixin's. That diesel couldn't pull double loads like that "gas Jobby" and he ended up losing his butt and had to sell everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 i would either move the gauges or bend the shifter a bit so it does not hit the gauges.
