    Wheels

    Called Bebo Monday morning about getting 8 used Dayton wheels from him for the mixer. He said he had wheels already off and ready to go. So I went to get them today and they were off but still had tires mounted on them...gotta go back tomorrow. Anyway, since i'm changing wheels and going tubeless I thought about painting them different- gotta paint them anyway. What do y'all think-red and white trim, or white with red trim? I just changed this picture to try to get an idea what they'd look like.
  3. fixed the steering wheel for ya anyway.
  4. We had a '59 (I think, might be a year off either way) GMC 860 wrecker where I worked years ago that had a 5 spd. Clark overdrive transmission. 4th. and 5th. gear was backwards-5th. up towards the dash-and you shifted the 2 speed different too. Instead of the usual 4th. lo-4th. hi,5th. low,5th. hi you went from 4th. lo to 5th. lo, then back to 4th. hi to 5th. hi. Is your 2 speed electric or vacuum shift? 'Course with your 5 speed,the brownie,which has under-direct-over,and a 2 speed rear...I know nothing
  5. I'm about the same way. Drove for years without a/c, but couldn't do it now. Used to haul wood chips to Covington,Va. in a '74 Transtar IH with no a/c and would get off of I-64 and get on rt. 60 and pull off at a big wide spot and get in the Cowpasture river to cool off. I just figured i've gotten old and soft. Told Jeff once if the a/c quits the motor might as well be "blowed up sir", because I cain't drive it.
  6. got lots of tractors too, these are from a show in Concord,Va. a few years ago.

    Damn

    So, I take it you didn't go in there and dig for the gold?
  8. don't see why- you can just sit in one of those chairs and look at it
  9. Got some from last year, and the year before. I liked that H-model too, used to have several Scouts.
  10. Garland,Texas comes to mind. The blue one reminds me of an IH 42 or 4300 cab,don't know if it is. Some of the later Marmons looked a lot like a T800 KW.
  11. True indeed, and I am happy to post the pictures.
  12. Always heard the same. P.L's. here.
  13. More bikes-saw these 2 at the truck show.
  14. All (well,most) of the truck show pictures from the ATHS show in Lincolnton,N.C. are on webshots now- http://community.webshots.com/album/578301593qEKAFT
  15. but I wonder if it's been pasteurized?
  16. OK, i'm starting to put them on webshots. http://community.webshots.com/album/578301593qEKAFT ...stupid Kodak... check back periodically-only about half finished.
  17. how come this f$%#in' link worked a while ago and doesn't now?!! Can anybody else see pictures,or just a Kodak page?
  18. Went to Rustburg a while ago to get some "Bone Sucking Sauce" at Long Mountain Grocery. Only place around that has it. Lost a million dollars though,because I bet Jo a million that they'd be closed on Sunday. Took a picture of this Triumph while I was there, as i've always thought it was a great looking bike. I wish i'd gotten a picture of what we saw coming north on 501 as we were coming home though-a Marmon motor home! Kinda like the R-model,but it was a Marmon,kind of rare to see anymore in itself, much less a motorhome. Even had a 4-wheeler behing it on a tow bar.

    Bats

    I hear bats are disappearing, and no one knows why. Kinda like honey bees. I know I don't see near as many as when I was a kid, when we'd stand in the driveway at night and throw gravel in the air to watch them dive for it.
  20. couldn't say...but here's a closer look.
  21. I also bought these items.
  22. rest of the pictures are here- http://community.webshots.com/album/578301593qEKAFT
  23. Of course we saw a few trucks. Not too many that I hadn't seen before, but it was still a good time. That B and R-model were still sitting on that trailer on 158 too. Was gonna stop a get a picture on the way home but it was raining hard then.
  24. We got there a little after 11 and left about 1:30 or so. Hate to have missed you, I was hoping you'd call. I was wearing a straw hat with Dale Earnhardt on it and a bigmacktrucks.com T-shirt. I asked Jo if she wanted to walk around one more time before we left but she said she was tired of walking.
  25. yeah,that's Burt. This is the Smokey and the Bandit KW, Trans Am, and sheriff's car that Buford clipped the top off of.
