1958 F.W.D.

HAH!

I always ask them to see their permit to solicit and they turn around and beat feet down the path.

This was by far the worst year I have ever seen, and I have been going for 2o +/- years. Attendance was the lowest I have ever seen- before the intrawebs (and especially eBay) you couldn't move in the place- you were shoulder to shoulder with everyone else. There were many many vacant vendor spaces......That was unheard of 10 years ago when they were turning vendors away.....No one would budge on their prices, many overpriced pieces (and I mean WAY overpriced.......) and yes it is becoming a t-shirt/patch/blue light show. Did meet up with a few friends and went to help the young ladies working their way though Nun College. Forgot to tell Yarnell we were going over and remembered to message him when we were halfway there. I think next year I might just save the admission fee and just go see the Nun Candidates instead.

There are tons of listings of car/truck shows on the interwebs. Just google "Car Show Listings" and maybe your state or area you should get hits on a bunch of listings

Sounds like yer clutch shit the bed. I'd yank it and send it out to be reman. What kinda truck? Make/Model of tranny & clutch? Let this be a learning experience.....Never install a used component that is a critical part of the drive line. My father always used to say "Putting in a used part is like having sex with a lot lizard- sure it might work and it might be ok, but you never know what might happen or what you are getting after the fact." It's OK to buy a used component but always get them rebuilt/reman!!!!

http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/25223018/-head-on-crash-with-cement-truck#ixzz2yb3ptJzB That's gonna leave a mark...........

You'd care if you planted your seed while doing the deed!

That is AWESOME!!!! I know you live on the west coast but if I got down on my knees and begged, would you consider bringing that to Macungie in June?

I saw this trailer parked in a vacant lot on Route 309 in Quakertown, Pa. I guess the guy was in a hurry and he couldn't park it proper-like? I saw these two fancy big Mack firetrucks I saw a big Mack truck I saw a bigger Mack truck next to a Small. Small approves. I saw the Ghostbusters headed northbound on the Pa Turnpike I-476 at about the 28 yardstick. An FWD with a Budd cab...... And this girl flagged me down, she needed a ride to the Winfall Nun College. Said some guy in a big red non-Mack truck went flying by her even though she showed some leg.....Said she didn't wanna ride in a Paccar anyways........

Heard this on the radio this morning here in the Allentown area. http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-mack-hiring-macungie-plant-20140407,0,2928533.story

Joe I gotta believe you know my father and maybe even me, too. My father is Sam, from Bryn Athyn. Howard nicknamed me "Baby Buddha" when I was knee high to my pop. He would run fire calls with them all the time- in fact was one of only a few guys from outside the company that was allowed to drive. When I was old enough and a member of Bryn Athyn I was also "thrown on the rigs" when the tones dropped.

The tire dressing does look better I agree but it leaves that sticky residue.......

Actually- another thought I just had- which is what I did with my rig- Pull the lines until you reach the lengths under the weather worn top lengths- I bet the ones on the underside are still intact and their original color. Just uncouple the lengths and rotate the sun bleached ones onto the bottom. Wipe the top ones with armor-all as you reel them back on.

Joe I wouldn't even waste your time. Booster line is so plentiful- if you are going to Allentown you will more than likely find plenty of it there. Just looking at the pic tells me those are shot- I don't think you'll ever bring them back to the original color. You could TRY hitting them with some armor-all but I wouldn't dare go near them with brake fluid- that is some nasty corrosive stuff and I would think you'd destroy it. If you cannot find any booster line at Allentown let me know what size and how many lengths you need, I might have a source for you.

Carl- message me your number, I think I have an older one. I might take you up on dinner. Where you staying?

Did you open up the oil filter to see how much metal may be in it? I certainly would. I'd also consider running the crankcase oil about 1000km and then getting a sample analyzed- if you have such a service in your country. If not then I would absolutely change it and the filters- "just to be sure."

Who is Willie Robertson? What's a "Duck Commander 500?"

"Small" petered out eating his lunch.....And the Greyhound ("Mikey") found this pillow which was laying convienently in his favorite sunny spot.

Flea market is Sunday ONLY.

Mike: Are Veterinarians required to obtain con-ed credits? Maybe we could swing the anatomy thing (with emphasis on milk teats) for you for some con-ed????

A buddy just posted this on his FB wall........

Jason: Glad to have you here on the boards. Mike: I'm sure if you have an accountant that knows how to be "creative" you could probably swing it.

Yes. If you make a request for your factory file, there is an 8-10 week backlog due to the number of requests that they receive. And when you get your box in the mail, write them a check and dont be cheap!
