  1. Bob, Neat looking Chevy, Complete with Oldsmobile hub caps!!!
  2. Hendrickson was one of the many companies who used the I-H CompfoVision cab. Most of them used the assembled unit although Diamond T bought the raw stampings and assembled them in house..
  3. There was an article on the Daily Caller website that FEMA has NO MONEY for for this and other disasters as they have spent all of their budget relocating and housing all the illegal coming across the southern border!!!!! Thank You Mr. Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Matt, are you down here with the Chinook???? If so, Thank You and God Bless!!
  5. Vlad, That is an excellent example of the Ford C model Budd cab raised and pushed back to become the Ford H model, Nicknamed to "Two Story Falcon" as the compact car Ford Falcon came our about the same time..
  6. Geoff, You Are Right!!!!! Almost all the odd ball assembled trucks and many fire trucks used that Budd cab.. About the same as the IH CompfoVision cab in the 50's and 60's..
  7. Matt Not only the news.. Everything is happening very slow in SC. I have been out most everyday. I have NOT seen any Asplunda type tree crews out and this afternoon was the first time I saw a single outside electric crew bucket truck. Just late Monday did the outside medical offices and grocery stores get their power back.
  8. In the early 70's hauling petroleum out of Syracuse NY at night, I had to chain up a single outside drive a lot of times to get from the main road into a distributor's yard and back out. You also learned to lay a S curve in the discharge hose so you could move the truck out of the ice pockets, made by warm tires, while you still had some weight on the drives.
  9. DAMN!!!!! I heard the WNC got it worse than we did. Our power is still out, but no trees on the house, but a couple out in the pasture. Our prayers are with you/
  10. That turned out great!!!!!!!!! Your time playing with photo shop was well worth it.
  11. Tom, Will be looking forward to a picture album in the near future!!! Jojo, please stay safe.. We have been out of power since 6:45 Friday morning.. And by the looks of things it will probably be another week??? They finally got power back 25 miles north of us in Simpsonville, so that I could get some gas for little generator..
  12. Congratulations!!! Enjoy yourself, and speaking from experience get your traveling doe early in your retirement before your health goes to Hell..
  13. The ones Bob is speaking of, on I-80 between Reno And Salt Lake, are probably lease operators / independents with Large Cars.. Probably about 3:55 or lower rears..
  14. That tropical storm that is supposed to hit us Thursday Night will probably be up your way by Friday Night???? Unless it swings West??? Were you going to take the big green truck up the back roads????
  15. Looks like a photographer was in the right place at the right time?? with a full moon rising over a rock spire..
  16. Bob, Are you trying to say Parallel Switch???
  17. I have seen some of those around.. CSX has at least one I have seen near me.
  18. Tommy, Your truck looks great!!!!!!! But I still think you have to do the two tone green thing on the wheels and rims??? Do a photo shop on the parking lot picture and see what you think..
  19. I think a good solenoid cleaning is all you need??? Be sure to pull the plunger and hit it and the barrel with some emery cloth to remove any corrosion.
  20. I would say that is between your checkbook and your time available??????
  21. I have a DSL internet connection and Satellite DISH for the TV.. How can I find this Radio Americas Voice???
  22. Harry, Thank you for these pictures. Thank you for mentioning Dan Thomas up here in the States. I have seen Dan Thomas's Valueliner at several shows. ATHS Lexington KY, York PA, and twice at ATCA Macungie PA, But I do not seem to find a picture of it? I forget how many Km's it has on it , But Dan always flies a couple of Aussies up here to drive it to the eastern USA shows. I also think (??) it spent a year in the Mack Museum in Allentown after it's first Macungie showing. I Know it is in the ATHS Showtime book, at least 2 different years, but I do not know how to steal the pictures!
  23. There is a racing shop in Iowa who can build you a Plexiglass replacement.. My friend had them build replacement windshields for his 1959 Diamond T 921C with the "China Closet" cab. In searching for a replacement he found several people who need windshields and I think (??) they got a volume deal. PM me and I can send you his email address to make a contact in Iowa..
