"Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist. Alex Pretti’s stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent, in fact, that the taillight broke off in pieces. It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control. The ICE Officer was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be under those circumstances! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN." President Trump (Truth Social)

Well the last year you could get a 478ci gasoline V6 was 1974. But I think they were quite rare by then as everyone was opting for the 366 and 427 V8s

President Trump has chosen former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to head the US central bank when Jerome Powell's leadership term ends in May. Republican U.S. Senator Thom Tillis has said he will not support any of Trump's Fed nominees amid the ongoing criminal probe into Powell. It has also opened the door to the possibility that Powell, who called the criminal probe a pretext to pressure ‍the Fed into setting monetary policy as the president wishes, may opt to stay on at the Fed as a governor even after his term as central bank chief is up in a bid to safeguard it from political capture. A lawyer and distinguished visiting fellow in economics at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Warsh believes the president is right to press the central bank for steep rate cuts, and has criticized the Fed for underestimating the inflation-busting potential of productivity growth supercharged by artificial intelligence. He has called for a broad overhaul of the central bank that would slim its balance sheet and ease bank regulations. Warsh, 55, was nearly named to the job in Trump's first term before being passed over for Powell, and since then has kept a steady ⁠public profile through speeches and essays that have taken Powell ⁠and his colleagues to task for their management of the Fed's balance sheet, interest rates and other actions.

That is later than the manual I saw one in, IIRC it was later 60's before the body re-design. Showed the cab heater using engine oil as a heating fluid. When did the Toro-flow go away? Likely the Deutz was offered when that happened.

What year(s) were they offered? That brochure looks like sometime in the 1980s

Bovino is the kind of situation where he is capable of managing perhaps 25-50 people acceptably, but no more than that. As a result, he failed to properly instruct and oversee his people. The reins were too loose. Homan is a Patton type of person........no one in the room has any doubt what his rules are.

Associated Press / January 29, 2026 Patrick James, the former CEO of bankrupt auto parts supplier First Brands Group, was indicted on federal fraud charges and arrested Thursday in Ohio with his brother Edward, a former senior executive with the company. The indictment from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York said the James brothers “perpetrated a yearslong fraud” to obtains billions of dollars for First Brands — and millions for themselves — by duping investors and banks with fake documents and false financial reports. When it filed for bankruptcy protection in September, officials representing First Brands said the company had more than $9 billion in debt and only $12 million in cash. After changing its name to First Brands from Crowne Group five years ago, the Cleveland company began buying and then cobbling together a number of aftermarket auto parts manufacturers through debt-financed deals. Acquisitions by First Brands included well-known industry brands like Fram filters, Autolite sparkplugs and Anco windshield wiper blades. The James brothers falsely inflated invoices for accounts receivable and borrowed against them two and three times, unbeknownst to lenders and investors. This yielded billions of dollars of financing for the company, which the James brothers used to finance a lavish lifestyle. “The defendants operated First Brands as a ‘Ponzi’ scheme in which new loan proceeds were used to pay back old lenders and to fund their extravagant lifestyle.” A lawsuit brought against Patrick James in November accused the former First Brands CEO of securing billions of dollars in debt financing based in part on fraudulent invoices, then transferring hundreds of millions of dollars to himself and other affiliates to “fund his and his family’s lavish lifestyle,” which includes seven homes and 17 cars. The lawsuit claims that James, with the help of unnamed conspirators, transferred $8 million to his son-in-law’s wellness company, $2 million for James’ family office, at least $3 million toward the rent of his New York City townhouse, $500,000 to his personal chef and another $150,000 for a “celebrity personal trainer.” The majority of the transfers occurred between 2023 and 2025. The indictment released on Thursday also revealed a guilty plea from former First Brands executive Andy Brumbergs for his role in the scheme. Patrick James, 61, and his brother Edward, 60, each face nine counts, including wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Most of the charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years if convicted. Patrick, the former CEO, is also facing a potential life sentence.

If it helps, I bought a Eaton Fuller 18 speed knob, and it WOULD NOT fit on my Mack CH613. The threads one the shift rod did not match. The hole on the Eaton knob was bigger.

This is a nice M1070 repurposing. .

Still NO headache rack or headboard on the trailer?? I will be that driver will insist on them in the future!!!

Looks like the load was coming apart before he hit the snow. Two strap winches toward the front might be he had forward securement that didn't hold. As far as the cab, that should buff out. .....Hippy

I saw a couple more pictures of the truck on the Appomattox VFD page. The truck was the only vehicle involved, but that doesn't mean nobody pulled out in front of him and caused it, no details were given as to the cause. Said the driver was transported by EMS, but it doesn't look as bad from this side as it did from the other side.

Used to be a company named Lund that made visors. F Model one is gonna be hard to find in 2026.
