  1. Larry, if you don't mind what did it cost for the spring pack rebuild? I was quote around $300 a while ago I thought it was a little pricey
  2. That was the other California democrat in the Senate husband , Dianne Feinsteins. Her husbands firm between 2009 and 2011 collected $108,319,000 in fees and compensation under the deal Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/12/firm-chaired-by-sen-feinsteins-husband-cashes-in-o/#ixzz2ygbil9zt Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter
  3. "Medicaid the real free insurance" I guess I should have put more emphasis on the last part
  4. Actually the only thing it has done is waste millions of dollars. An insurance study just published said only 36% that signed up were previously uninsured. Most of them signed up for Medicare and Medicaid the real free insurance. BTW about time on the HHS resigning, should have happened 6 months ago
  5. I got a motor for it, is it for sale? looks way better than my F. hmmm F and G setting up in a tree... wonder if it would make a F#*@ Good Mack????
  6. any pictures of the inside of the sleeper? How road worthy is the tuck?
  7. Also that is a myth about the retirement program they are covered under the same retirement plan as all federal employees FERS. It takes 5 years to be vested and can't draw until 65, look it up don't believe the hype as with all govt employees it is public knowledge
  8. Term limits will stop a lot of this congress is two years no more than 3 terms consecutive and senate is four years also no more than 2 terms consecutive not to exceed 20 years combined or total
  9. Looks good, what is the next project coming in the door?
  10. Good save Vlad, I don't think it cost anymore than what you could have haggled for it over here
  11. was it the military or other govt agency like GSA?
  12. From what I understand the door shell is the same dimensions and fit either cab, it is they relocated the lock hole to match the new style lock and latch setup. I was looking at aftermarket doors a while back and ran across this info.
  13. is that one of those sub-excavator used for dredging?
  14. If the truck had sat for awhile maybe the plunger/pump spring is stuck, you should have a cover on the side of the pump you can remove and check them
  15. Great find Mike, its been waiting along time to make its way home! If it runs its worth what he is asking if it has all its major parts
  16. looks good, what made him want to change from the new one?
  17. Nice save way better shape than my day cab f
  18. great video and pictures, keep posting
  19. Darn big truck in decent shape, what would it top out at 50-55mph?
  20. I have a 30 x 50 semi insulated with a wood stove and a multi fuel 250k torpedo heater for cooler weather and a 4ft fan for the warmer weather. Make sure to put in at least a 12ft door, a 14ft would be better. My shop has two long bays but that is because I did not build it, I would have put the doors on the long sides with at least one drive thru bay. I have a 14ft lean to with extra over hang. I also have a front concrete apron that is good for working out side or washing. I have water but no bath room. As far as tools depends on what you want to do. I have paint guns to air blow guns. I think a must would be air, impact wrenches, good assortment of hand tools, electric drill 1/2", parts washer, hand held grinder, 6" vise mounted on a solid work bench and a good bottle jack with a couple sets of jack stands. That would be enough to get you started than buy tools as you need them. My neighbor's shop is 40 x 60 and he has in floor heat but he is always adding insulation because he uses so much propane to keep it at 60 degrees. One last thing if you are going to have metal pole barn or shop built make sure that they use house wrap on it or you spray foam it, they may look at you funny but pole barns style buildings are not air tight like they build houses. Also if you get the insulation package have them put at least an R 30 + on the roof not that 2" stuff, spend your money on insulation. Another friend had them put up metal on the ceiling white side down with a hatch and created an attic space and he filled it with blown cellulose. His shop is always nice to work in in the winter and he also has radiant floor heat and it takes about 600 gallons of propane a year to heat it. His shop is 40x60 with 16 ft ceilings.
  21. congrats on getting her fixed up
  22. I was just reading today too, that Freightliner had gained another 4% market share last year and was hoping to build on that success.
