1958 F.W.D.

I would criticize you but I dont want to be labeled a racist. Also please advise your wife to use one "representative" candle, do not use the number of candles you need for your age, the radiant heat will light off your dining room.

Carl, have a good one!!!!!! See you at Trucktoberfest!

Thanks Ken, I passed that info onto Pop. He's getting the timing belt replaced today, told him while the guy was in there may as well go ahead and do the EGR valve too. He's really excited about this vehicle, I have to admit I am kind of jealous. I was trying like hell to find one back in April-May of last year when I was vehicle shopping but everyone I talked too said "good luck trying to find a used one."

Dad just bought a 2005 Jeep Liberty with a 2.8 I4 VGT oil burner (made by VM Motari.) http://www.vmmotori.it/en/01/00/01/dettaglio.jsp?id=11 Has 99,000 miles on it. From what Dad has read online, he will be preventively replacing the timing belt immediately and possibly the water pump as well. Anyone have any experience with one of these, or something else with one of thier engines? I never heard of them, but understand them to be a very popular marine engine in Europe.

What is the hydraulic arm on the 5th wheel for?? Is it for one of those dump trailers where the whole trailer lifts up?? http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=3824215

24 months...............

I don't think that's going to be an ex-City of Phila truck. Most large Philly City vehicles like that are a baby-shit yellow in color; however white isn't out of the question. All of the accessories (headache rack, etc.) just aren't "philly." I have never heard of them having any Allisons. It's too clean, in too good of condition, too low milage, too....well.....NICE! The various Departments of the City of Philadelphia don't turn vehicles back in for excess property auction until the wheels are falling off, the belts are showing through the tires and your feet can poke through the rust holes. Philly is in such bad shape right now financially that I seriously doubt any administrator of whatever Department that had this thing would want to let go of it........ The Fire Department has Seagrave pumpers that are 20+ years old with 100,000+ on them.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make Lititz either, but I will be at Trucktoberfest with the 1958 FWD Firetruck.

Vinny they ride on the porch!!!!

Well gee, look who crawled out of the woodwork, another one of FWD's disciples......Yer a day late and a few dollars short Ronny!!!

Captain Clarence Over, to the white courtesy phone, Captain Clarence Over to the white courtesy phone!

Isnt that what made them a U to begin with?

Good shot!!! But Papa is blocking view of the kickstand!

I was just looking at your U-Tube (hahahahah Uncle Yardo made a funny...) do you have the front letters M-A-C-K for that thing??? Just curious.

She's a U-Model Porch Chick, right?

yes Nephew Vicenzo, credit is due where it is due, even if your preference in trucks is....(here we go....) "CROOKED"!!!!!!!!bwahahahahahahahah! just kidding. Looks good kid, seriously. Get your grandma to take a pic of you and Papa!!!!!

Vlad, yes Macungie is a small town located about 185km from NYC. The truck show is always on the Friday/Saturday/Sunday of American fathers day weekend which is the third weekend of June. You can also take a tour of Mack's Macungie Assembly Plant, also located in Macungie- they run free shuttle buses from the show to the plant. You can also go to the Mack Museum, about 20km away (they also run buses there and back to the show.) I live in Hellertown, Pennsylvania which is about 32km from Macungie. If you want to see where I live, look for Interstate 78, next to the city of Bethlehem and Allentown. I am about 125km from the airports in NYC. Many many things to see and do in the area. You can see and tour NYC of course (which is very expensive by the way, so unless if you have a lot of money I dont recommend staying in the City, and just go there on day trips.) The City of Philadelphia is also about 160km from NYC, also a nice place, where I am from originally. Baltimore, Maryland is about 320km from NYC, and Washington DC is 400km. If you ever want to come to this part of the USA reach out to me I'd be glad to help you. I am always helping out foreign firefighters see the sights- I have met and helped many fine people from Germany, Ireland, the UK and Australia. Click here, I made you a google map- I hope this works I have never done one of these before. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217579609800440660468.0004cab499a424da61d6a&msa=0&ll=39.89288,-75.39917&spn=3.759221,7.020264

...............and anything with a Detroit in it is like school on Christmas Day.....NO CLASS!!!!!

Is anyone going to Trucktoberfest at the Mack Museum/Customer Center?? I'll be there with the FWD "just to classy up the place a bit."

All the fat chicks in New Zealand and Australia know they have to lean to the right.......

If he flys into NYC, Newark or Philadelphia I'll pick him up!!!!

I concur, I believe it's a Savoy also. Here is a Fury: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nfscars.net/forum/picture.php%3Falbumid%3D1314%26pictureid%3D25840&imgrefurl=http://www.nfscars.net/forum/album.php?albumid%3D1314%26pictureid%3D25840&h=540&w=720&sz=84&tbnid=YGjWfiepby3_kM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=120&prev=/search%3Fq%3D1958%2Bplymouth%2Bfury%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=1958+plymouth+fury&usg=__ezE70NFtEHCEjW0xEQk-6_tCY0U=&docid=uBrIJNwlYyDOOM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=CZFjUOGpAsT00gHzooGYDg&sqi=2&ved=0CCUQ9QEwAg&dur=94

we could really mess with Vinny's head and exchange his U for an Aussie U model one night when he isn't looking.......
