  1. Welcome aboard!! Love the ol cabover camper.
  2. Love to actually see a truck do this. Hear all the stories. I just have to put up with a smoke mirror and some soot for me LOL!
  3. Simply BADDAZZ Trent! Wonder what it would take to get a B model cab?
  4. Shot blast the gears and run it. Don't think the extra "oil pockets" in the gear teeth will hurt anything. It's called extra lubrication LOL!! Unless the surface rust has gotten under the case hardening and will allow premature wear? You plan on lots of driving? Though in HI gear, the front box is running direct through(the cluster is not under load) so those gears are not really too much of an issue. The hard part of going fast with a 9.x rear gear is the fact I don't know how well it will put up with running it at "X" rpm faster then normal trying to get yourself faster with more OD in the transmission. Don't know, but is the TD37 the small box, kind of like the baby quad for the early gassers? Is the TRD720 the small box also? I'm thinking(no books to look at) it is the big box thus nothing would interchange?
  5. That's some funny stuff!!! Somehow I knew it was coming just by the way the cop was looking around. Then, YUP, just like I thought.
  6. Got plenty of work in the garage, it's even heated, but I just can't make myself want to go out when it's -10* outside. My get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went....................
  7. Very nice website. I agree, on the thought of putting your location and number on the front page. Makes it much easier for someone surfing to see your basic information without having to click on links. Even though you have a green highlighted link right there(though that link is only an email). For instance, in smaller text under your ENE Motors in the white area at the top of the screen.
  8. Fastest dirt delivery in the county LOL!
  9. Have you called State Farm? Don't know if they have age restrictions? I know insurance usually is cheaper for 25+ yrs old.
  10. I had to choke the other morning when the 8am news came on the radio on the way to work. Big "Breaking News" noise was playing and it was all serious like. I was thinking to myself, "hmmm, plane crash, school shooting, president killed?". Nope, they announced Justin B had been arrested for drag racing. Really? WTF, that is "breaking news". I didn't really think so, but I suppose the media does? Oh for shame. Then the late night shows got ahold of it and tore it up. Leno made some joke about "60 mph in a Lambo?. I hope he knows it has a seond gear?" LOL!!
  11. Didn't Brown also make trailers? The tractor was short lived if I recall. Or am I confusing things?
  12. Sister to Sum Hung Lo?
  13. I guess when I "reman" the race car motor and spend $5-7K for a "hobby", I suppose $11K for something that MAKES YOU MONEY isn't all that bad LOL!! There again, I don't do much to the race car anymore. I run'r forever.............
  14. I've had issues with attaching pictures from home. Brings up the window to paste the link, then just locks up. Seems okay at work? Guess I need to surf the web at work more often LOL!!
  15. My rear air ride came with a 5/8" plate for pintle hitch, fully welded. Though it does not have the tapered ends like a typical tractor does. When I was done, I cut a hole for a receiver hitch and then put triangle gussets on the inside to support it. I then welded hanging D rings under the bottom for chains.
  16. Looks like you had "viscosity breakdown"? Sounds like me usually, it can be a PITA, but at least it all worked out good in the end.
  17. That big Ford was kicking butt. The that R model International and the old Fleetstar!!
  18. The Rockford show, he is driving a VEGA...go figure he can't outrun the Mack LOL!! Of course the Mack sounds just like the soundtrack from Duel.
  19. Mac trailers, right out there on State Street/Rt 62. Go by it every time I go over to Quakercity raceway in Salem, Ohio. Yup, GMC, "professional grade" at work right there.............
  20. Friend has a '68 D100 since the late 70's. We hauled a lot of stuff in that truck and the cabs are pretty roomy(Or maybe I was just really small back then?). Had a slant Tic and 3spd on the column. Hydraulic clutch that gave him nothing but fits for years.
  21. Back of the cab looks good? I can see the bolts in the center where the mount is. Floor likely non existant with windows open for 10 yrs. Man, I want some budd hubs for mine! Shoulda told him for $7K they have to have paint AND run.
  22. Come on,if Macgyver can weld a connecting rod together with a couple quarters and a set of jumper cables.................... If I recall he was fixing a generator that was "rattl'n". He said, rod must be broke. He tears it apart, welds it and fires it back up and it just purrs. Of it the A team can have a shoot out with machine guns and NO ONE gets hit?............
  23. Welcome aboard. Nice looking B!
  24. I remember one episode that they took the fuel soleniod so it wouldn't start. That is when they showed it being a V8. It was "stowaway", where he delivered to a prison and a convict got in his truck to escape. Another one was when they got hooked up with some bad guys robbing a little store. They were broke down?
  25. Nice work Trent. Looks impressive. Just wish I didn't have so many over "money pits" so I could do more with mine. I have a couple flat bed trailers(homebuilt) that never got finished. I've seen the realistic air ride kits and would really like to build a spread axle for mine(that was my intent about 8 yrs ago when I stretched the truck.. Oh the possibilities...... From about 1996? The original build: About a year later I bought the trailer: You familiar with Joes truck stop in NJ? He does a lot of builds. He built an R and a sleeper cab B years back. He used to post on an RC forum I used to frequent.
