  1. captain or entertainment director?
  2. well, with those 7 a holes off the road we will be safe for a few days. it is amazing they have not killed anyone yet with how they drive.
  3. that is the prime reason to have storage silos. if price is low at harvest, store it on farm until the price goes up. we do that every year here in joisey. store it for 2-3 months, and you can see a 4-5 dollar per bushel rise in price.
  4. was that lizard in a parking lot??
  5. actually the reason for the transfer box, otherwise known as a "shuttle buggy" is to keep the paver full so it does not have to stop in between trucks due to lack of asphalt in the hopper. the stop/go action leaves a small ridge in the asphalt every time it stops/starts back moving
  6. that first girl sure does get around. what, she got a heliokopter or sumptin?
  7. i actually found that video on /Jays car the day after i posted that question. i have the original wheel covers for my car. i found it in a barn in northwest jersey back in the mid 90's. all original. the owner parked it in his grandfathers barn before going to vietnam in 69, and forgot about it. when i found it the barn was falling down. i talked to the farmer, and he said that old clunker? that was my sons race car back in the 60'. he rode her hard and put her away wet. we agreed if i could get it out of there i could have it. 4 tires later it was on a roll back headed home. i had to put new gas tank, new top, all new brakes and lines, new fuel lines, new clutch, all new rubber parts in it, and got it running. it had a bad miss due to 1 burned and 2 bent exhaust valves. pulled the heads and redid them. it now has 95k miles on it. i need to pull the engine to freshen up the bottom end, it looses oil pressure when hot. it will do over 170mph, (clocked that fast on radar on a closed roadway) and it will smoke the rear wheels when power shifted into fourth at 100mph. with the 3.00 gears, it idles at 15 mph in first gear. my investment to get it where it is is only $5,000
  8. what does Jay have? i have a 66 7 litre 4 speed convertible.
  9. rt46 in North Dakota
  10. Tetz asphalt in Middletown NY still uses a B81 water truck. i was up there yesterday and saw it in action.
  11. i wonder if that is a bail hook dumpster truck. it looks kind of like a concrete cleanout body.
  12. we actually use cat skid steers. 262, and 272 tire machines, and a 289 track machine. they all average 11 foot lift
  13. my kenworth has 4 foot sides, the granite had 5 foot sides. never had any problems loading either of them to 80,000 lbs with a bobcat.
  14. i have used them all. bibeau makes a decent body, but they also make a real cheap body that most people buy. they are good for getting rid of the truck with a new body on it. or for people that replace the truck every few years. bibeau bodys also have an under latch on the tailgate. when the gate pins and latch pins wear, the gate will pop over the latches and open up on a good bump in the road if you do not have turnbuckles locking the gate. beauroc bodys are twice the thickness on both sidewalls and floors that the bibeau body has. i know of 15 trucks with beauroc bodys that are over 20 years old and still work every day. beauroc also has an over latch on the gate.the only way the gate will open is if the latch locks are lifted. R&S and Bristol donald are heavy bodys that last forever. a friend has 10 DM800's, the newest is a 85. all have bristol donalds,on them, 4 were removed from B models and put on the DM's when bought new. i have a R&S on the kenworth. it is a good body, but next year when ht enew truck comes in it will have a beauroc on it.
  15. the only reason they are going after her is because she is black. that was her statement today in the news. another example of why we need term limits.
  16. i would say jc whittney add on electric window winder, not air.
  17. i would say engine is probably 237.
  18. i would have to agree, 2 men can swap the cab and have it road ready in one long day.
  19. there was a mercedes race truck a few years ago that had twin V8 turbo diesels in it.
  20. i would say it depends on how bad the rust is. maybe post a few pictures of some of the items you have questions on so we can see how bad it is ?
  21. we use dot call them drop knives. no idea what their real name is.
  22. i ended up replacing the ground with a wire bolted from the dash frame to a wire i soldered on the printed circuit board. it had something to do with where the ribbon wire plug went into the cluster.
  23. report i read yesterday had the truck driver saying the guy was watching a harry potter movie, and it was still playing after the car stopped and the guy was dead by the time he got to what was left of the car.
