Welcome Bigtow, Your first contribution could be several pictures. We always enjoy pictures. More the better! .....Hippy

HG, You looking all the way across the yard at the roller? l think that might be a scarifier of some kind. .....Hippy

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on BMT. The featherless fowl is in the pellet grill smoker and should be ready to be carved at noon. .....Hippy

Really looking forward to this one Jim. Anytime we went to tour the collection l always made sure to sign the guest/visitor book. Always interesting to read where people were from and they were from all over! .....Hippy

And don't forget the fashionable footwear! .....Hippy

Maybe out of hours on that damn ELD! lol .....Hippy

A friend of mine drove one of those F models for Buster Brown. Tore up the pavement at 54 mph Manchester NH to Hartford CT to New Haven CT and back. .....Hippy

I am rather good friends with one of the larger contributors to Hanks. My friend pulled all his images down after he started finding them all over social media virtually destroyed from their original shot. When Hanks was created, there wasnt Facebook or Instagram. Now when you follow some of the Facebook pages, the images that were marked with photographer credit were chopped out, pictures of screenshots of pictures, hell you couldnt even make out the logos on a few I've seen. I am one of the VERY fortunate ones to be able to still view the collections of a few of the contributors to Hanks on private Facevook pages. It seems with technology advances, most have forgotten how it used to be. The investment of film, cameras, getting negatives developed, and really all the contributors were asking for was to respect their work, and give credit where credit was due, but that hasnt been the case. So the pics are safe with their people, but may never be seen again but by a select few. ~Rick

ls that a steering wheel he's holding? .....Hippy

That picture is enough to bring a tear to me eye. 😢 .....Hippy

Good thing he lost the mudflap. https://cdllife.com/2019/chp-pulled-a-driver-in-for-a-mudflap-violation-but-found-something-way-worse/ .....Hippy

HnL, lf you find it's the 5th wheel just replace it like Maddog said. The company l drive for deals with three different repair shops. lf there is a problem with a 5th wheel none of them will repair it. They just replace it due to liability and cost, so l was told. .....Hippy

OH my! Our long lost grandson! .....Hippy

Remember! No farms No farmers daughters!!😏 .....Hippy

Hi Bob, lt sure would be nice to have a spare! .....Hippy

Question! What is the proper way to park the wipers on a 359? l always kept them vertical in the center of the windshield. .....Hippy

Road test wasn't long enough! l don't see it parked out in my driveway! lol Now that's what a real truck looks like. Very nice indeed. .....Hippy
