    I have a piece of jute insulation,Mack rubber pad, and a hunk of carpet on the floor. It is cut tight and seals the clutch pedal and shifters pretty well. What I want to do is make a rubber gasket out of a pc of inner tube and hose clamp it to the column and bolt to the floor. Shouldn't have to worry about it for quite some time. Just need to get around to doing it.

    Coming home from Macungie with no AC wasn't bad. Though my foam plug around the steering column fell apart and I had 200* air blowing up my legs the whole time. Gotta fix that too.

    After 9 yrs, the AC compressor locked up in my B. Ya, I was spoiled . Gotta get it replaced asap.

    Welcome aboard. Looks like a pretty good start for an F model. More pics!

    Years back, going to PA for a race, the scale house was open EB rt 80. It says "all trucks", so I went in. Empty place but he held me on the scales for a few minutes. I assumed for a good look and maybe a picture? Got the green and away I rolled. Ohio changed their signs to "commercial trucks", so I roll by. Makes you wonder, like that ol GMC hauling the two "coils"(at Macungie), would the creeper cops even consider it actually still working?? 😆

    I spent Thursday - Saturday working our local truck show. It was like a blast furnace door was open. We had a sponsor give a whole pallet of water to give out during the show. We had 244 trucks show up. We have gone 350 on nice weather days. In all we all survived but it was brutal. https://www.ohvintrkreu.com/

    Sorry, don't have a lot of use for it myself.

    Window stops. Keeps from allowing window to crank down any farther during normal operation. But, removing the plates allows the window to be cranked down enough to allow the door panel to be removed.

    Wiring harness through the valve cover is common problem with 7.3 PS. Our shop stake bed is a 99 F450 with 16ft bed. I ordered it new back then. Ford had a hard time building them so I took a fleet truck from someones stock. Had Ford AC installed (first company truck with ac). 330,000 miles and still runs strong. 6spd been worked on a couple times due to "non stick shift drivers" behind the wheel. I had to drive it home from a few places with no clutch(start in gear and go!). I ordered a new 2000 PSD, CC, DRW 6 spd for myself back then. Sold it after the B model came along. Miss that truck somedays.

    I have a friend from HS on Facebook. He jumps on the Pedo Joe train anytime someone posts something against him. He will fight to the death online about how bad Trump is and has an ungawdly amount of links to back his stories. He always looking for a fight. I told him I don't have time for that crap. I got him to admit that Joe is worthless and that is all it takes now to shut him up when he goes off on somebody else about Trump. I just say " you think Joe is worthless" and he stops with the bantering.

    Hahahaha..... I used to be called Chuck Norris when I had darker hair (typically wear jeans, leather coat and cowboy boots), then Sam Elliot as it greyed(and grown longer). My gf had a picture of me on my Harley and looked right out of the movie Road House. Tom petty is a new one 😆.

    At Macungie, a very nice young man stopped to talk to me at my trailer. Found out he is a Trump guy. I was enthusiastic about that.

    Well, it's in the books. Glad to meet up with everyone here. Those I remembered and those that had to remind me!! 😆 I give it a 2 thumbs up event.

    Thinking ahead, can I drop my trailer at the show and bobtail to dinner, then get back into the show that evening? Gates left open? Or would I have to wait until Friday morning? Or just plan on getting there in time for dinner and get in line Friday morning? Or get parked and thumb a ride to dinner? Can I even walk in after dark to get to my trailer? Not sure how tight you close up?
  19. Freightrain
    Perlux 200t lights.
  20. Freightrain
    Have plans to attend Macungie myself. First time.

    Are the shutters closed a lot due to no load on it? My shutters will close at times running down the highway(cool nights) and will get it sounding like a jet engine of sorts drawing against a closed radiator.

    686ST is six wheel tractor(tandem). The TA is just auction jargon for tandem. Agree, likely a repaint. Way too shiny.
  23. Freightrain
    Pretty decent C model overall. Thanks for posting it. A Studebaker fan also.

  25. Freightrain
