  1. Yup, that's Brayden's place. Just talked with him Sunday at the NEO ATHS club auction. Never been down to his place and forget how much stuff he does have. I put a bug in his ear about needing some budd hubs for the front of my B model. I don't want to buy a complete truck to get them, even though he wants me to LOL!
  2. All the morons that run cruise control in the winter. Duh! Hit the bridge and WHOOPS...........it accelerates and runs them into the ditch/wall/etc. Sadly, if the paranoid idiots that go 10 mph on the roads because they are scared and the morons that run 75 in the snow because they think they are superman would stay home, the rest of us would go about their business without fuss. I agree, the manufacturers are NOT going to make their vehicles "built to last". Then who is going to buy the new models? I oil spray the hell outta my '89 F150 and it is working. It only has a couple very small spots on the frame that surface rust has broke out in the back around the rear wheels. The rest is grimy from dirt/oil but no rust. Surely not EPA friendlly, but it works.
  3. Ugh, I hate those crap wagons when they dump that on the roads. I avoid it like the plague. It's all "for the better". Ya, right. Since about 90% of the idiots on the road can't drive, they must get the road cleared so they can. I say screw it and make those morons stay home for the day so the rest of us can drive on the ice and snow.
  4. Wondered when this would get brought up. Saw it on news yesterday and was just sick. The driver was trying to hide is doings by hanging his wallet over the dashcam. Just thinking "what if" his tanker was full and he crashed and burned a schoolbus load of kids?? Ugh.
  5. Nice find. Welcome!
  6. I've put a few in the cones before. Idiots, just plain idiots.
  7. I love it! Very well done. Front end is super.
  8. Check a Speedway catalog. They offer hot rod kits and I have looked them over. I want to do my truck someday. They even offer a window switch that looks like a crank. Pretty cool.
  9. How's that mickey mouse watch joke go: it's 6:30 or Mickeys got a hard on??? Buwhahahaha! Congrats and hope all is well.
  10. Oh man....when I first got my truck. UGH...........I thought the same thing.
  11. Make sure the feed line to governor is open. If so then replace governor.
  12. Pretty cool. My ol B only goes 26 seconds and 50 mph!!! Ya, not very powerful. Got to make my first pull this past spring. Had a blast even if it wasn't in competition. The old truck did okay for only 180hp!
  13. Been a few years since I was at Dicks place. Very nice stuff!!!
  14. I've liked them too, but never really looked to see who made them or if someone just chromed what they had. I'd keep my spokes if I walked into a set cheap enough? If you can buy them new for $250, that seems pretty cheap. To get a good, professional quality chrome job I bet it would be more then that. Plus have a nice enough piece to chrome(not beat up, bent or chiseled on).
  15. I've noticed that the 4 people that used to have my videos on Youtube have been falling off. Guess I need to finally download them myself??
  16. Yup, that be me. First time I tried to get the article it crashed out. Finally got it to load so I could read it. They could have linked the two handed version also? More fitting to go with their pictures.
  17. LOL!! My g/f was complaining the other night about the young miss that served us at the local watering hole up the street from home. Kinda chesty and a tank top and she made the comment that she should "cover up some". I told her that was for making "tips". She agreed. She is easy going and the same basic format: Look all you want, just DON'T touch.
  18. Samo samo here. Fixing broken crap at work, running in circles like a one armed paper hanger.
  19. Ya, someone posted that up a few weeks ago. Nice looking truck for sure.
  20. Pretty cool stuff. Shame to see them turn into Hyundis...........
  21. Wow...don't think I drove my triplex that rough the first year I had my truck. A 13 spd should shift like an automatic. Saw the V8 badge and wondered if they put an 871 in it...but guess not. At least that would have been "v8" proper. I bet the dash tooling is just reversed for the RH steer. The dash and glovebox is likely the same no matter.
  22. Happy Birthday!!! Wow...25 huh.........................whew................party hardy now cause you won't be able to sooner then you think LOL!!!
  23. Ugh...I could just go on and on and on and on and on.....................and basically just repeat most any story that has been told already. They need to get back to making Model T's..........so that only real people can drive. All this automated crap(park assist, brake assist, back up cameras) is for the birds. I ride a HD, so I know all about taking my life into my hands everyday. "Responsibility"...........is removed every day from our lifes. It is always "someone elses fault" when we fail to do anything right. Driving is falling into that category.
