tjc transport

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

what does Jay have? i have a 66 7 litre 4 speed convertible.

rt46 in North Dakota

Tetz asphalt in Middletown NY still uses a B81 water truck. i was up there yesterday and saw it in action.

i wonder if that is a bail hook dumpster truck. it looks kind of like a concrete cleanout body.

we actually use cat skid steers. 262, and 272 tire machines, and a 289 track machine. they all average 11 foot lift

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.

sure is!!!

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.

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.

i would say jc whittney add on electric window winder, not air.

i would say engine is probably 237.

i would have to agree, 2 men can swap the cab and have it road ready in one long day.

there was a mercedes race truck a few years ago that had twin V8 turbo diesels in it.

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 ?

we use dot call them drop knives. no idea what their real name is.

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.

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.

when mine went out it was a bad ground wire in the ribbon cable.

this has been rumored for close to 20 years now on FTE, the largest ford truck forum in the world. and every time it comes up a ford representative says it is just a rumor.

put an amp gauge in the circuit and see what amps it is drawing. then remove the resister from the circuit and wire motor direct to switch. i bet you will see higher amps with resister in line, telling you the resister is bad.

you forgot one part. if you do not do what we tell you to do, homeland security will flood your neighborhoods with agents carrying the 600 million AR-15's and 9 billion rounds of ammunition we already horded and force you do do what we say at gunpoint.

looks like a ripper to me. used for breaking up uneven hard pack so it can then be leveled and rolled.

yup, the very large sheepsfoot roller with vibratory drum towed behind a big truck. weighs around 25 ton. the small knobs combined with the vibrator crumbles the thin concrete into bite sized chunks. you know you did a days work after towing one of them around for 10-12 hours. that only works on less than around 6 inch thick or very old concrete. the newer concrete or thicker stuff is just too strong, and needs a hydraulic hammer to break it up.

a lot of companies use drill rigs to drill test pits to see how deep bedrock is, or for core samples to see what the makeup of the road bed soil is. one of the companies in the yard where we park has over 50 drill rigs that get used for just that. i go out 4-5 times a year on average in a crash truck to do shoulder closures for the drill rigs.
