  1. l'll bet that is a lot easier than using a four foot boom and a two knee dipper. .....Hippy
  2. A close friend of mine had a "Livlab" sleeper/camper on an International daycab. As l was looking around for info on one and l found this. Go to the link and follow it down to "Frank Smith 1970" comment. l about crapped myself because that is my friends nephew! lt was posted back in May of 2011. He had it lettered by the door, "Tours $1.00". .....Hippy https://www.flickr.com/photos/78578272@N04/with/37423639210 Found a picture of one at a show....
  3. Better to be in the nose of the trailer than hanging under the trailer. Picture somewhere of them beating ice from road spray off the door of the sleeper so the guy could get out. .....Hippy Found this one for the nose of the trailer. Hard to see but these two pictures are of a sleeper under a trailer.
  4. Wife and l turned Baltimore/Washington DC from NH and ME twice a week for two years. Our first truck we had was a '77 R600 with a 36" crawl thru. She got in first then l would fall in beside her. You both had to sleep on your side or it was one wide and two deep! ha Park the truck just so and the opening boot would leak if it was raining. Damn, missing the 'ol days when it was fun....... .....Hippy
  5. Rowdy be sure to look at all available info on these. Too many reviews that l saw were negative, both the machine and dealing with HFT trying to return it. There are a lot of YouTube videos about these and other brands. .....Hippy
  6. You keep that white crap out there. Another week or two lll be mowing up here. .....Hippy
  7. OMG Paul! That out does anything l can find. We have a local restaurant that serves " Boston cream pancakes" for a breakfast special. .....Hippy
  8. looked a lot like, but not as nice as the MB. LOL .....Hippy
  9. That and she looks a little top heavy, not sure how she would handle either! .....Hippy
  10. lt doesn't need to be in NC because it happens here in NH! We sit and listen to the police, fire, and rescue scanner and the calls are all over the place when it snows. And the schools get started closing on the 6pm news the night before the storm. Just looked at the weather on Mt. Washington NH at 0815. The temp is -13, wind speed 95 mph, wind chill -57 and in the past 24hrs a wind gust of 147mph. Hold on to your hat! .....Hippy
  11. l remember when l was a wee lad. They sanded the roads with a small towed spinner unit. lt was hung from the top of the tailgate with chains. The chains were adjusted so when the dump body was down it lifted the unit off the ground. Raising the body would let the small wheel(s) touch the ground. The spinner was driven by friction of the wheel under the spinner or a gear box. The guys would shovel over the tailgate and into the spreader. Couple of years ago there were three at the NH state auction. At the end of the top video (Portland Me.) there is one as the truck is driving away. Hard to see it in the shadows till it's in the sun light and only for a split second. .....Hippy
