    All the Dodge stuff used to come from Mishawaka, Indiana. Now the couplings are in Weaverville, NC. The roller bearings are here in Marion, NC. The ball bearings are in Rogersville, TN. The gearboxes come from Belton or Greenville, SC. At one time, everything was there is Mishawaka. They even had the corporate offices and a foundry there. It was quite a place.

    I made a few hundred thousand of those when I worked at that plant. Now I make the roller bearings. The Paraflex can handle a good bit of torque and a lot of misalignment, both parallel and angular. It's a bad-ass coupling!

    Ah. Sounds like the KWs weren't getting used and the Petes were getting worn our. So...even out the mileage. Yep.

    I wonder if that is a Paraflex?

    If the value of your truck varies with the gas gauge...

    Did not know how they matched the drivers to the trucks. Seems crappy not to let the senior drivers pick first.

    Jeff is the man! But some of the funniest ones we make up ourselves. If you think a "seven course meal" is a six-pack and a 'possum... If you can name more than 20 NASCAR champions but only 5 presidents... If your car is constantly riding on more than 2 mini spares...

    Ron White or Bill Engvall for VP? Either way, they get my vote!

    Mine too!

    Hey! I work for Dodge! Make bearings now. Used to make the couplings. Not sure if we make anything that is a direct interchange for that style.

    Yeah, here's something on that... I can't remember where I found some of the other stuff. I'll keep looking. https://www.historync.org/laureate - C Grier Beam.htm http://www.beamtruckmuseum.com/

    I see a Carolina truck in that picture. Carolina was a pretty cool story. Seems like I read somewhere that Mr. Beam got some of his earliest loads from right here in Marion, hauling goods out of the cotton mills for Mr. Cross. In fact, that may have been why he bought his second truck. Hated to see them go belly-up. I think it was ABF that gobbled them up and closed them down. I'm pretty sure ABF owns Southeastern, too. Carolina and Southeastern used to be everywhere when I was a kid. Lots of fallen flags...

    Could you elaborate on that a bit, Bob? What happened?
  16. doubleclutchinweasel
    That's where my mind went too, JoJo.

    I've said it before, but I'll say it again...

    You've earned every accolade that has been offered on this thread. A lot of work went into preserving a piece of our history, and you've created something you (and all of us) can be proud of. Can't thank you enough for doing the work and letting us ride along on the journey. I'd really love to see this thing in person some day.

    Wasn't there a different shape on the bottom of the U/DM driver's side door? Some sort of a contour that wasn't there on the F/R door? My memory is fuzzy on that, though.

    After my Mom retired, she said she didn't know how in the world she ever had time to work.

    That's a good, solid-looking truck, man! You know how I love the green dash stuff!
