I got these 2 new used tires from David yesterday. Coulda put them on yesterday afternoon, but i'm on vacation- don't want to over exert myself in one day. So, I went and put them on this morning, after a stop by NAPA to get new lug nuts. You can see my reflection in the fender, I'm wearing a yellow T-shirt, holding a camera. That diet i'm on is working great, eh? Still a pretty good looking unit, but sitting out in the weather is really taking a toll on the paint. I got them on pretty true and straight, but only tightened the lug nuts with a half inch drive ratchet, i'll take it down to the shop one day and jack it up on the level floor and recheck and retighten them. I also took this neat picture yesterday, but I took it without permission or authorization, so we'll just kind of keep quiet about it, ok?

yes, it's closer to this- or the way this used to be anyway.

who?

A Mack, Euclid, and Caterpillar.

neat site! http://www.roadtransporthall.com/

True that, all the above- Rob even helped me diagnose the problem when my home AC went out a few years ago on the hottest day of the year. Helps everybody with everything, all you had to do was ask. Even offered to paint the hood on the mixer for free if I shipped it to him.

I'll second that!

yep, probably go put them on in the morning- coulda' done it today, but beins i'm on vacation I don't want to overdo it.

My sentiments exactly...you're my hero and mentor now Randy....prolly shouldn't speculate, but I have a theory- Mitt Romney is about to announce Rob as his running mate.

Sorry, it's been removed because it was ...well, really offensive. I can probably remember most of it, and send it in a P.M. if you want.

Yessir, I bought 2 used steer tires from David, and couldn't be happier. He held the tires for me for weeks until I could get to Raleigh to pick them up. When I offered to send a check for them he said "no, wait until you look at them before you pay me". He's what you call "a class act".

well, I can certainly understand why it shouldn't have been posted, but- there's that "but" again- I did put it in the VIP lounge, and I did change the names- no, actually I didn't name any names- to pertect the innocent...or was it the guilty...It was too good to keep to myself, but I have a warped sense of humor- you should see some of the captions I draw in the Sunday comics, especially the family circus. Or maybe you shouldn't. I rename it "the disfunctional family circus", and they're heavily into...ehh, never mind.

Thank you Vlad.

no, i've been on the back porch crying in my beer because of what Rob said- he's my hero and my mentor. But hey, thanks!Sex on the beach was pretty funny, eh? Too bad it was so offensive- but it was hilarious!

oh.

like this?

yeah, and they're rounded like the Mack on the red one, but the vents and step under the door are the same as on the WOT IH.The red one has no IH emblem that I can see, or a bulldog either. That red one still looks way similar to the W-71, much more so than the one in Wheels of Time.

What?!! Hate to see you go. I have enjoyed your humor and technical knowledge and wish you the very best in the future. you will be missed!!!. Have enjoyed talking with you over the website, good luck to you in your future endeavors. Please say it isn't so. I will greatly miss your humor, wisdom, fairness, and hard work. I hope there is nothing bad going on in your life that caused you to slow down and that you are going to use the time to work on your many projects. I have learned a great deal from you and your wealth of knowledge will be missed. well aint that a bitch,,,best of luck,,partner. what are you going to do? No one can replace you.

I'd like to have one of these, with a 6-71 Detroit.

I saw this picture on FB, the fellow that posted it said it was a late '40s W series International. So I said it was a W-71 Mack, and the headlights and grill must have been changed, and posted the same picture between two W-71s. Then he posted this picture from a 2004 Wheels of Time- I've never seen or heard of these before. The cab does look a lot like a W-71, but the red one looks exactly like a W-71 cab. Wonder if Mack made them stop making them because of the similarity? And the W-71 was made from '53 to '58- wonder if Mack took the design from International?..I just don't know, anybody?

I used to have a 4 door '68 Biscayne with a 283 and Powerglide.

I have to agree, it's one of the prettiest places i've ever been to.

I once had a '70 Chevelle SS myself.

I liked Chevys, but the '66 and '67 GTO's are one of my all time favorites when it comes to looks.
