  1. Definately worth trying to impress.
  2. Thanks for the great pictures.
  3. Great pictures guys. Thanks.
  4. Here's a link for Donovan's http://www.donovansusedcars.com/cat_pages/trailer_1.shtml
  5. After all the hard work and a new set of "dog flaps" keep it and enjoy. Not many folks have a pizza getter as nice as that.
  6. Great pictures, very thought provoking. Thanks for sharing.
  7. Thanks for the great video. I am really sorry I couldn't make it.
  8. It's cool the way it is, really tells a story.
  9. Very nice, can't wait to see it with the rollback.
  10. Thanks for sharing.
  11. Very nice Diamond T. Is the girl driving or taking a nap?
  12. Welcome. Nice truck.
  13. It seems to have a Faegol look to it.
  14. Maybe one of the hoses is the by pass line from the water pump to the water manifold.
  15. So waht's the shame of ending well with just one. Especially one of those.
  16. Here's another one.
  17. It sure makes a good case for keeping the undercarriage clean.
  18. Very nice selection of Macks.
  19. Welcome. It is always heart warming to see another old Mack saved.
  20. That's a real cutie!!! There will be lots of good times with her. I think she is going to grow a little more too.
  21. Nice pictures. Sorry about the cabbage, it was starting to look really good.
  22. When I changed my B over I did the same as mentioned but also had to change the fuel gauge and sending unit. I got the units from Summit Racing for just a little over $100. The one thing to be careful of is to match the gauge and sending unit OHM ratings. No problems since conversion.
  23. Here's a comparison of the two sizes. You can see the speedometer will be off and you will use more RPMs to get the correct speed. Your truck computer may adjust or maybe it can be programed to the new size. One other consideration is the ride with less sidewall and the new tire not being mounted on the correct width rim. Below came from a google search comparing the two sizes.

  24. Thanks, great pictures. Glad you got your computer squared away. That mail box is about as obsolete as the tank.
  25. Sounds good. I think your helper likes it.
