1958 F.W.D.

When I see guys thanking each other for help with parts it just re-affirms that this place is a huge, disfunctional but helpful family.

It's a properly tuned 2-Stroke Detroit. There is no exhaust. I have oceanfront property in Phoenix, Az I am looking to sell. Interested?

Here is a teaser. I have more but again don't wanna steal thunder. It came out better than I ever would have imagined. And they do plan on bringing it to Macungie and we are already talking about parking it, the FWD and the Hahn all next to each other. The Jumpers broke Man Rule #4,226 by not procrastinating at all, not even the slightest.

I may or may not have a bunch of pix of the finished project- which towed the family RV and the family down to Virginia Beach, Va. last Saturday. If young Ben does not post anytime soon I will post some- don't wanna steal his thunder.

We have finally managed to bribe the inspectors enough pass all of our Use and Occupancy Inspections and Health Department Inspections and the flagship Gladys, Va. will soon open, just as soon as we can hire enough staff.

When we are operating the fire trucks, anytime the vehicle moves in reverse, the passenger (company officer) has to get out and act as the "Ground Guide." You don't move until he says so, and if you lose sight of him in the mirror, you STOP. Failure to comply will lead to a vacation without pay for both you and the officer.

Not true. The Pa MVC requires none of this if an antique vehicle is properly titled, tagged and insured and is NOT acting within the definition of "commerce."

Thats the exact one that I bought on the advice of several folks, yourself included. Got it right before xmas. Now I need to get the damn thing out of the boxes, get a bottle of gas and go practice cause I gots me a 1978 Hahn with a lot of cancer.

Safety? Where are her safety glasses? She'll poke someone's eye out!!

Pottstown.....Pottsville......It's all the same............

Chicken shit!

I had my crack team of Attorneys look into the court order that prohibits myself, hatcity, otherdog, mike69mackman, slpwlkr, 39babymack and a few others from all congregating in the same place at the same time. They have filed a writ or a petition or whatever paper bullshit it is that crack attorneys file and the presiding Judge of the Court of uncommon pleas for Berks County Pa has issued a temporary stay of order that will allow all of us to be together at Macungie, however there is a stipulation- no one may possess at any time (we are inside the Town Limits) any of the following: -live farm animals -rubber chickens or blow up dolls -Saki (yes the Japanese rice wine) -lederhosen -Barry Manilow albums So it looks like Hatcity will be making an appearance this year!!! We need Otherdog, Slpwlkr, and a few of you others to come out this year!!!! What say you???

How many RPM's to make a rod come through the pan? Thats what I want.

Thats what she said!!!

Thats not the one. But I believe we have located and ordered the correct one. Now I will be able to tell how many RPM's this piece of shit is turning.

Gents, I am in need of Ford P/N D4AF 9E731. Ford used it as an input sensor for their early cruise control systems, however in this application, Farrar used it as an electronic sending unit for their electric tachometers on a 671 Detroit Diesel. Ford Dealers and Associated Truck Parts both came up with "NFG/Discontinued" on that part number, Anyone have any laying around (was on a Hahn firetruck if that helps....) or can you point me in a good direction? Any and all leads appreciated,

In the Trans Am or the KW?

Lemme get this straight. You want me to transport 400 cases of Yeungling beer from Pottstown to Middletown NY in 2 hours......You do know that's bootlegging, right?

See.....Your mother was right...."You'll go blind!"

I'll facebook message Barry and say "WTF?"

UPDATE 02/28/2016: We took advantage of an extremely rare warm day here in Eastern Pa- temps got up into the low 60's and everyone had cabin fever because it seems like it has rained pretty much every day for the last 2 weeks. Wait, it HAS rained every day for the last 2 weeks. So Small and Large and I got up at 0600 this morning and went and got the Hahn this morning from the double-secret probation storage place and brought it home. I borrowed the neighbor's pressure washer, and we knocked off the tree sap, crap, grime, dirt and muck that caked on the truck as it sat outside for the last 5-plus years. We also took a scraper to a lot of rust cakes inside of the compartments, and then vacuumed all that out. Then we wire-brushed the cab floor (all the gray paint that I painted in there 15-20 years ago was flaking bad.....) and vacuumed that out. Then we removed the wood from the hosebeds, and stashed that in the garage for further evaluation- Sand and stain/varnish or total replacement???? The truck is far from it's former glory but she is beginning to look respectable once again. She looks 1000% better than she did at 0800 this morning. Large worked his balls off today. Extra Small even joined in on the action The wood slats from the hosebed and compartments And finally, a split image that a buddy put together- top pic is actually seen farther back in this thread, from around Thanksgiving- sitting at the former owner's place in the exact spot she sat for 5+ years looking forgotten and sad. Bottom pic is this afternoon. The pic does no justice- she looks 1000% better.

As long as I don't transport live farm animals across state lines. Or blow up dolls.

Bitch. Please. Do you honestly thing you can keep ME under control?

Not a cool thing to do. What happens if you get into a wreck and they deny coverage? And you are left hanging to dry for not only your costs but the costs of the other guy(s) because YOU were at fault?
