other dog Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Here's a couple of Bob from Tennessee's vehicles that he restored and shows, or used to show. I don't think he does much with them anymore. He said the last time he took anything to a car show it was that KW you can see part of in the driveway there. He has 4 more trucks and cars parked in his basement too, but I didn't take my phone with me when he showed them to us, but they looked fantastic. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

That's a misprint, due to big fingers, arthritis, and small screens. I shall go back and fix that right now. lol i was thinking the one i drove seemed to have a much squarer nose,,,,but it (WAS) 50 years ago,,,bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75176-wow-owning-a-truck-is-expensive/page/2/#findComment-569728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't want the high hood, I like the looks of that sloped nose myself. I told Zina she could drive the GMC in the parades and I'd drive the big green International that runs now 🤣 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted February 18 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 18 What would REALLY be cool to me would be a nose off of a D860, like this- But I doubt that would be possible without a fully equipped shop, with a team of fabricators, a ton of money, and a D860 for parts 🤣 1 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

GA_Dave Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 11 hours ago, other dog said: Here's what Wikipedia says- That wiki needs a bit more research. The L10 was not built in Jamestown, or it would have been a J10. It was built in nearby Lakewood, NY, hence the L. My BIL worked there for quite a few years. My career FD had two pumpers built on Ford LN-9000 chassis, both with L10 engines, one rated at 280 Hp., the other at 300 Hp. They wouldn't go fast if you drove them off a cliff! 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75176-wow-owning-a-truck-is-expensive/page/2/#findComment-569781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted 12 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 12 hours ago Just got the GMC back from Powell's Truck and Equipment. They ended up sending the pump off to be rebuilt because it was taking so long to get a pump for it. Been up there since February. They also replaced the air bags, leveling valve, a fuel line, and a turbo clamp. A little over $4400. But we drove it to the Walmart store today. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago I get e-mails all the time from trucking companies trying to to recruit me to drive for them. And some of them offer like TWICE what I was making before I retired. Makes me wonder...but I'm not going back. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Yeah, me either you couldn’t pay me enough and 10 four of the repairs. even small stuff caching caching thankfully atleast as of yet I really don’t need to replace anything too expensive. You never know if fuel pump let’s go theres five grand or more exchange … bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75176-wow-owning-a-truck-is-expensive/page/2/#findComment-575123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
