That's for sure-YouTube is usually where we see how terrible most of us are with a camera. This guy really has it wired though-very good video! Speed

Is that code for your truck? Anyway,Congrats on your excellent ring holder! Just kidding about the ring holder part. Congratulations,Bro! Speed

It also reminds me of the sign that says something like,"If you voted for Obama last time to prove you're not a RACIST,vote for Romney THIS time to prove you're not an IDIOT." Speed

I LOVE this!!! This guy's business has increased a HUGE amount since this was put on the 'net. He also has a website where we can shop. He was asked if he would alienate some of his customers with this sign,and he said,basically, that it would only alienate Liberals,but Liberals don't go to gun shops anyway,so it's not an issue. Speed

With his math "skills",I can imagine why they don't get voted in. Speed

Boy-ain't THAT the truth! Speed

Of course you're right-I wasn't clear on my meaning. This engine is marked REO,but has the same ID number as the bus had,so it must have been a retro-fit. It's also marked as a 354 C.I. engine. What I've read so far shows thew 5 speed is a direct 5th model. (Bummer) I'm thinking if I find a 2 ton truck with a dead engine or without an engine,this might make an interesting swap. I still have the radiator,so if I can make room for it the only serious mods will be throttle linkage,exhaust,clutch linkage and the u-joint/front drive line section. Sure-there's a LOT of engines that'd be easier to install in a GM truck,but THIS would have CHARACTER! (Also about twice the torque of a GMC 302 or a small block Chevy.) The question,which I think I already know the answer to,is would this engine/trans. be too heavy for a 1-1/2 or 2 Ton truck? Speed

Well,that gets me thinkin';I have a spare Mack REO gas motor and 5 speed from an E school bus sitting around-what could I install IT in? Maybe an old GMC 2 ton? (Not my '54,it still runs too good.) Speed

:lol: And then Gore steps in and says,"See!! I TOLD you it was Global Warming-I mean CLIMATE CHANGE!!" Speed

So-remind me again why Unions are a good thing? This "Bakers Union seems to epitomize the general concept of today's Union behavior,and it doesn't look all that great to me. Speed

Roger that! Speed

I especially loved how the woman told the Judge,"No,it's NOT dismissed..." This video not only needs to be seen by Obama-it needs to be hard wired into the White House TV circuits so he will see it every time he turns on the TV. And to think that probably 25% of America's youth is like that..... Speed

Yeah-what YOU said! Not much impressed by all his . But he SAID he's willing to work with the Republicans to make progress,which I take to mean as long as they do everything HIS way,they can also put THEIR names on his Bills.. . Speed

I can't consider him MY president;until he can prove he was Constitutionally eligible to run for office,he's just an imposter to me. Speed

Here's my concern;seems to me a State,in this case,would need to be fully able to be self-sufficient. I'd generally think a "Free State" could arrange trade with surrounding States to acquire what it can't provide for itself. The big concern is that,with this Administration,The Feds would probably lean heavily on the surrounding States to NOT help or cooperate with the "Free State". Given the level of most States' dependence on Fed. help and "Freebies",they'd have a rough time resisting. A friend and I were talking about this idea a couple months ago,wondering how this'd work for Nevada. We (Nevada) could take control of the I-80 inside the borders,as well as claiming the railroads inside our borders. I'd vote for lightening up on DOT's BS a lot;there's a LOT they don't have to be so hard-assed about,so re-write some of that to make life easier on the truckers. Probably put together an Advisory Board made up of professional truckers,people who know shipping,an attorney who knows about transportation,maybe a highway engineer. With their help and input,we could probably make Nevada a lot easier to haul freight through without destroying the roads. (I'd ALSO work on DMV's current idiocy. It's already a State agency but it really needs a tune up just the same.) On the plus side,we'd have control of all our land,so we could market some industry here,and since the Feds wouldn't have any power over our ground water supply,we'd be able to handle some manufacturing. I'd vote for re-opening Yucca Mtn. and make contracts to accept nuclear waste from other States. That could become a very good income for Nevada. Also,I understand France and other Countries have a pretty good handle on recycling nuclear waste,so if the crew at Yucca could learn to do that,it'd make some more good income for Nevada. We'd still have mining (for awhile),and without the Feds screwing things up the Ranching business could finally prosper again. Of course we'd still have gambling and such,and prostitution in some parts of Nevada,and good golf courses,so it'd be worthwhile to get back on the list to have Elko's airport brought back to a grade A rating. That would really help the tourism here. I THINK we'd have enough resources to make a go of it,but it'd really take smarter people than me to sort it all out. In reality though,I think it'd never happen-I don't think our Governor has the stones to try for it. Speed

Indeed-the next four years will be VERY interesting. Speed

Lets not forget how much it costs to buy one.-roughly the price I'm paying for my house. Unless they can make one I can comfortably LIVE in,or I manage to acquire enough disposable wealth to buy one "Just cuz" they're never going to be a worthwhile buy for the THINKING Public. Speed

What we need to keep in mind is that LOGIC and COMMON SENSE have NO place in modern Politics . THEY dream up ideas,WE'RE forced to make 'em work or suffer the consequences. BTW-As "Educated" as most of them are,they're pretty STUPID on the subject of what is or isn't possible. Speed

Wouldn't surprise me-Now the O-boy has 4 more years,I think pretty much ALL gasoline and Diesel vehicles are soon to be made extinct. Watch Califorina's actions-they usually set the trend on user-unfriendly measures,and the real world ends up following suit. I wonder how many solar panels it'll take to haul 100K of freight down the road. Speed

Nope-I'm wrong. Actually,that little weerd strip there (and it looks like another over past Winnemucca and North) appear to be bits of the vast uncharted wilderness not inhabited by humans. So-it WAS just Reno and Vegas that helped sink the US. Thank you-thank you ver' much. Elvis has left the building. Speed

Looking at Nevada-the only areas that voted Stupid were the Vegas region,the Reno region and,it looks like a stretch South off I-80 between Beowawe and Battle Mountain,South towards Austin & Eureka. ( Don't really know WHAT to make of that...). Elko was pretty solid Republican,having experienced 4 years of the Liberals "better ideas". Speed

I hear THAT! I've driven to places up here where,if you don't fill the tank REALLY full and bring a couple of 5 gallon cans of fuel,you could be walking the last few miles to get home. And some of the mine workers are commuting around 150 miles a day to work. (I'll bet that gets really old during the Winter.) I hear Texas is like this,too. Speed

Good looking trailer-wish I had one. Speed

That'd be really cool with the Cummins and 5 speed. I'd given that combo a lot of thought for my '57 GMC dump truck before I decided to sell it. It'd work out great for a truck like that,especially with a little "tuning". Speed
