Got to give credit to John "Johnboy" Ulman, the photog. for our racing group. Oh, I also put my name and my g/f names up above the door handles, behind the mirror bracket in that little flat space there. A few years back, a racers g/f made some comment about not having her name on the car. So, a couple winters back, I took my name off the passenger window and put Karens name. She was tickled to see it. Then that certain racers g/f saw it and told Karen that she was lucky cause her b/f would likely never do that for "her". Yes, girls like to have a little recognition too. I'm lucky, as Karen is VERY supportive and there are lots of women that would have nothing to do with it.

Lucky for me a good photog can make any rusty hulk look good! I have the original version also. I like the pastel version better so I ordered an 8x10 to hang on the wall. The sunset orange just set it off. This is the full size version, before I downsized it for my sig. Harry, hope to be there.

I still got mine, though that is not the picture of it. Even have one reel of tape for it too. I'm betting it hasn't been out of the box in near 30 yrs! Mine could record or be used as a PA system also. Tom, I take calls all day, as long as I'm not tied up with something too busy at work.

Crackers FD? Should it be safe to assume it is an all white group of guys?? (sorry, just had to)

This would be Jim Herriot. He has a cool KW with 1693 in it too. Met him through ATHS.

RARE* Antique Mack B85FSW 1377 Fire Truck - $25000 (Rock Island, TN) I'm guessing it was a hook/ladder truck? Or did it pull a water tank? Does seem strange to be a tandem.

Where's the picture I saw the other day up in New England area. There was like 8ft of snow and there was a guy grilling on the deck. The snow was channeled out so he could get to it.

"We love having a crappy day"

I put Historical, Non commercial on the bunk. Thought it might help with traveling. The picture was taken by our race photographer and then put in a Photoshop deal to make it look like like a drawn picture sorta.

If you have seen the new Ford commercial, it has a mother in a new Ford with her young son behind the wheel driving in circles around a parking lot. Then towards the end he is "parallel parking'> Ya, except they use the park assist. Meaning NO KID will every actually have any kind driving ability in a few more years. They will have to park out in the middle of a parking lot so they can pull in/pull out because they can't drive for shit. No one will every actually turn their head to LOOK behind them because they will rely on cameras and warning buzzers to tell them if it is safe> Ugh. Just makes me sick. I have to laugh about the giving directions while in a truck. If you can't see ME(my face) or my mirror, then I can't see YOU while you are waving your arms.

Shoot Hank, you went right by my work. I'm in Barbertucky...ummm.......Barberton, right off Rt 585 and 21. Yup, go by the old steel plant property on a regular occasion anymore going to Navarre to work on the ol Willys hot rod. My clutch guy used to have a unit like this: He finally traded the old Aerodyne in for a T2000 just a few years ago. Only got to see it sitting in his shop a few times when I was there, he put about a million miles on it through the years. Wished I coulda bought the truck from him. Always well kept. On cassette?? But I only have an 8 track...........what will I do?????? Maybe if I get lucky they offer it on reel to reel??? I can dig out my old wollensak..........

Yup, seen that, kinda north up Rt 11.

We have a local racer that dabbles in golf carts. He has some wheelie versions that he uses for shows.

The area code puts it near me. Maybe 1+ hr.

Sorry to hear Paul. Hope it works out okay.

Ya, I think the concave cab will be a hard sell. Even my skinny butt feels squished sometimes in my regular cab.

Hmmmm, I see good things in the future...........................

I think I'm understanding this "female" friendly stuff. I think they are going to put the guage a little higher in the dash for easier viewing for some girls??

All I can say is...............Wow! grayhair, thanks for the link. I really like this pattern. Might think about this for replacing the back panels on my bunk? Give it a more old school look. Maybe I don't want to know how much it is per sheet LOL!

I'm betting back in the day, they used plenty of "Universal" kind of parts. Many manufacturers would buy a typical part from a single supplier. Kinda like those Grote lights on the roof. Same ones on the fender of an A model KW. I had a '72 1210 series pickup. 2wd, 345/4 spd. All I can say is "it was a tank". Rusty, used up piece of junk, but still a tank. Pass everything but a gas station. Lucky gas was only ..50/gal back then.

Nice. A friend I race with had a FL120 few years back. 430 Cat/10 SPD autoshift with same basic conversion. It was a nice outfit. He downsized after a few years and sold it again. I'm sure you will get years of use out of it.

Well as of today the air steering is functional! Pretty happy with it. Few loose hoses to tie up but all is well. I have the a/c bracket painted and installed. The hoses are all cut to length and I will get those crimped. Only have to get a few wires run to make it work. We're getting closer.

Ahhhh, I see. I have a friend that even after I crank it up tight, doesn't hold him up very well. I usually just get a smirk from him.
