    the left lever is most likely body dump control.

    "they get away with it" because it ain't the nike swoosh. it looks like it at a quick glance, but it is not the same.

    anyone stupid enough to not know where to buy a postage stamp has no rite to vote anyway.

    solar glare is not an excuse, if anything it is a reason to slow the hell down. if i can't see where i am going, i slow down to a speed where i feel safe. i have been pulled over many times for "driving too slow". and every time i tell the cop i was driving just fast enough for the current road conditions. i was not driving too slow, the other drivers are driving recklessly. and every time the cops agreed with me and let me go on my way.

    looks to me like the guy in the dump was not paying attention. probably playing with his phone and not the road. the guy in the left lane was paying attention to road conditions and was slowing down,, which was evident by the fact he did not hit the car that was tossed in front of him.

    same here. double hump heads are fuelly heads, and 348-409 were referred to as "W" heads. back in 76 we had a 64 impala that had a 427 "W" head 4 speed in it. that was one scary car. especially when you opened up both 4 barrels!!!

    i think by "double hump heads" he was referring to the distinctive design of the head that made it look like there were two "humps" in the heads where the spark plugs were.

    in one of the pictures you can see it was the driver side tire that blew out.

    i had an inspector give me crap last week for not wearing steel toe boots, safety glasses, or a safety vest. . he wanted to throw me off the job. i told him when i get out of the truck wearing sneakers, no vest, and no glasses you can kick me out, but until then get off my truck. he watched me like a hawk, but never caught me out of the truck................because i don't get out on the jobsites.

    my thinking is that he may have fell asleep, and when the tire blew the wheel got pulled out of his relaxed hands. probably why he survived also, because he was relaxed.

    i too have had a few front tires blow out over the years with no real damage. the worst was around 10 years ago on the NJ turnpike. passenger front blew out after hitting a piece of I beam that fell off the truck in front of me. i had nowhere to go .there was a trooper on the shoulder, and a bus in the center lane. when the tire went, i just got out of the throttle and rode it out to the shoulder about 1/4 mile total.

    another con to wireless is all the crooks need is a frequency scanner to figure out what the wireless frequency is, transmit a fake signal, and the cameras are now dead. only way to kill a wired camera is to cut the wire or kill power to the property. and to do that they will most likely have to be seen on a camera.

    my bet is new trucks and the drivers wanted to keep the paint from getting tore up by debris falling on the hood as they drove under the hopper

    i had an old diamond reo loaner truck back in the 80's that had a broken shifter. they took a piece of black iron gas pipe and stuck it on the trans end, then jammed the shifter head into the pipe and called it good.

    pull the threads out of the selector, and weld a bolt to the shifter to accept the selector.

    look at it on the bright side. we no longer have to worry about these two mental midgets breeding!!

    the only reason i have a cell phone is because the company pays for it. and it is only on during work hours. once i clock out, it gets turned off. and the only ones that have the number are the boss and other people at work. at the other job we had two way radios in the trucks, here they use cell phones. i got along just fine for the first 55 years of my life without a phone glued to my ear, and would still be living under a rock if the boss did not give me this one.

    i would love to post pics, but the kids "borrowed" my digital camera and never returned it. here is a 1977 Brockway A-758 firetruck, and a 1988 RD-690s tandem dump for auction in Montgomery NY though.

    yup, 57 was the first year for rochester fuel injection on the corvette. very hard to set up, but once set properly it ran like nothing else. a friend had a 62 vette with 327 Fuel injection. never ran rite, but he tinkered with it for years. one day around 74-75, he ran into a retired GM mechanic who suggested he set it to 57 specs instead of 62 specs. that was the the trick to making it from a ho hum runner to a race car. !!

    every time i go to one of the local asphalt plants i drool over their water wagon. it is a 351 Brockway tandem. needs some sheet metal work as the back of the cab and bottom of the fenders are rotted, but otherwise it is one pretty old girl. even with the battleship gray house roller paint job.
