bought my Hino new in '93, best little workhorse ever. checked out the ford F-450 (?) . compared the hino to isuzu ; UD; of the day .Hino few $ more but worth it. 4 cyl with exhaust brake which worked well. cabovers way better than ford/ GMC . turning radius ; length . had a custom built flat bed dump made for it. chassis sat in my garage for a yr brand new waiting for me to build it. everyone else's iron came first; mine sat. sent it to Bobby Worden = excellent welder/ fabricator. difference from Hino vs my '77 F-350flatbed ;;; the ford was PTO hyd dump. Hino I went with electric over hyd dump.

but it also depends on the ratio of mixture. coke is for "color" . I agree NEVER ruin Yukon. especially the 125proof bottle.

hoping "they " let pres live for next 4 yrs.

mix it with Yukon Jack to make the difference;;; I do.

ever notice how this "bird flu" just happened before the biggest egg sell of the year ;; "Easter" when eggs are the priority on shopping list. now the beef prices are rising??? covic has max out SO latest is measles!!! child passed away in texas who WASN"T vaccinated ??? really. get more crap shoved into your bodies;; sorry grandkids.

NOW you are talking some good stuff. Art bell ; later George Norwiee ;I listened to coast to coast am for long time ;;many times driving up I 95 from NJ to CT middle of the night . very interesting for the common folk radio show.

those with common sense seem to be shoved under the carpet (as was a saying back in those days)

NO REASON FOR EMBARRASSMENT if society didn't complicate things so horribly wrong "" life would be as in olden days ::: simplified

just for the sake of conversation :::: motors are electric ;;; diesels are engines. !!!!

GUESS WE ALL SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE NOTES< such a complicated world we live in.

after I left baskin robbins. I heard they went to electronic logs. NO way would that work for me at the time. having the NJ run in days before GPS/ cell phones ; going out with 15=19 stops out of 32=35 0n route . it was always 16 + hr days. didn't have the smarts to run 2 logs like some others. it was down and back to ct before the George Washinton bridge morning rush. on occasion had to do lay overs in NJ if certain stops not done by midnight. had to show sleeping in motel when actually slept in truck (day cab). run was a thurs- sat on paper. only scale house then was at CT/NY line. was fun for a while.

on a shelf to which wife not happy ??? better secure it to well to shelf !! don't want to hear all that hard work building gone due to it "accidently " falling off shelf ;; amazing it happened when you weren't there ???😨

nice to know someone's on my side'' LMAO. actually 148 1/2

now that's heavy. interesting also.

small piece of 90 degree plastic will make a perfect eng/ transmission mount. can't see it with cab on.. looking for original ;let me know, I have numerous spare parts.
