  1. https://www.hobbylinc.com I got a pair from them, good company to deal with.
  2. Most of that style Jimmy potato trucks on the North Fork of L.I. where our farm was were all 6-53 Detroits course ours was 302 gassers. Grandma hated diesels, the sound hurt her ears..
  3. Though she "retired" from driving twelve or so years ago . . .
  4. Co driver(s) and storage for personal gear and depending on route bivouac / survival gear,
  5. The number should be stamped on the spring pad just below the spring ie FA 538C ,FA 537 The axles are uni fit so it could be on either front or back.
  6. The 1954 design was used as a 1955 model until March as when the wrap around cab was introduced. The early 1955 trucks are easiest to I.D. because GM went to an open drive shaft in stead of the Torque Tube. Jumper and Son have one I wanted to buy but never got a price from them. Paul
  7. Yes all have right to their opinion and respect. BUT the lack of respect, the name calling, white race baiting, union hating and generalization of all others being stupid and sub wage earners, too poor or stupid to buy to new vehicle a normal person would not resort to name calling and making generalizations be cause of their opinions.. Eventually a specific poster baiting members causes them to push back and most all refrain from racial slurs and name calling. Apparently being on the receiving end, we are not allowed to validate our views with out being lectured or disrespected. One member voiced his opinion both with a post and a PM and his posted opinion was deleted. Pity that having to defend your choices is frowned on by certain members.
  8. We also had two versions of AC-119K units Shadows had 4 mini guns and flare dispenser and Stingers had a pair Vulcam 20mm rotary cannons and 4 mini guns, flare dispenser plus infra red or DayLite illumination and later Doppler radar for night on the Ho Highway. They were made after the AC130 gunships and replaced the AC47 Spooky's
  9. The "real truth" https://townhall.com/columnists/bernardgoldberg/2017/04/25/the-real-villain-at-ohare-n2317567?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=
  10. Welcome to the group. Most all here are willing to help, there's a lot of knowledge here. Lot of tractor, hot rodders and old truck people here. Enjoy. Paul
  11. How did you get to North Korea?
  12. Canadian Military Pattern Body used by Chevy ,Ford in Common Wealth service. Mostly Canada and Australia some British. Here's a Ford CMP
  13. Sweet truck . One piece windshield makes it 1954 or up.
  14. Just a thought, have you checked around and under the straps that hold the air tanks to the brackets for pin holes caused by rust or corrosion? Paul
  15. The one in Indiana? It's a Claibin Hood. Odd and some what ugly, but kind of rare, I've been looking for one for my B mixer on and off for a few years.
  16. Glad you know how well maintained my trucks are and how much money I wish to spend on something I have no requirements or contractual obligations to have..You as a company driver should not had to plug in a fix your own units or is this your rust bucket Ranger or VW. I personally think you are full of your Snarky self righteousness but unlike you I don't leap to assine assumptions just from a few sentences like some people do. So when I say Marmon read the word and use your all knowing expert powers to tell us what shape it is in and how good it is.... Rest you hand on the computer as give us the facts..... Can I get a "praise the power of teamstergorilla and a Amen"
  17. There was at least one Nord were modified like the B-25H but with twin 57mm recoil-less rifles under the pilots and one with 6 30 cals in the cargo compartment rear hatch area.Kind of the ultimate tail stinger. There was a lot of Aircraft from NATO,Korean conflict and things the French abandoned. Growing up with the entire family either working at Grummans or Republic on Long Island aircraft were always a big part of my life My first big memory when I was about 3 or 4 is at a Grumman family picnic seeing the Blue Angles flying F8 Bearcats. My fathers brother flew B-50 and B-52's from Korea to Vietnam, mothers brother flew B-24 and was lost over Polesti. Mom worked at Grummans during WWII and her sister was a shuttle pilot from the east Coast to England flying B-17''s. You can always PM me and we can set up a chat session on aircraft. I'm into late WWII Jets to the last F-14 with the century series aircraft in my top ten.
  18. Why waste the money on something I don't need? My trucks and crews haul my products only and are a hell of a lot more dependable than the latest electronic units and are tailored to my specific work.. Aren't my pair of Marmons and my Macks up to your standards? My people are all are happy with them. Also dear heart, I don't hate the unions. I could care less what they do. What I do not want them interfering with or telling me or my people how, what and when to do something. You should really try not twist peoples words to fit your agenda, it's not becoming to you.
  19. By 1940,the B-18 considered to be underpowered,with poor defensive armament and too small a bomb load. Most all were destroyed during the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines in December 1941. In 1942, the B-18 survivors were relegated to antisubmarine, transport duty, and training as far as late 1943. A B-18 was one of the first American aircraft to sink a German U-boat in North America. The Bolo sunk U-654 on 22 August 1942 in the Caribbean. Two or three were used a cargo planes til the end of WWII.
  20. Why argue with a Racist Liberal? Don't you know in her eyes all white,christian, conservative, non union people are a holes and thieves?, Only union people are "smart". All us non Liberal Democrats are system suckers and yahoos who need to be educated and led. Just like Obama, teamstergrrl whom is smartest, most tolerant, non prejudiced person on the site and is who we should heed her input and leadership. We all should be grateful the she bestows some of her insight and genius on us poor bible clinging, conservative white trash, christian non union rabble. Back to Chevaz and the mess he created before his death and his heir followed the same path, I never realized it was so simple as to be just oil. I thought (stupidly I also thought Vietnam was more than the French being smarter than the U.S. and our failing infrastructure wasn't solely Trumps fault ) that siphoning off money to support his friends and business associates, hording over 81,000 metric tons of food and 9.5 metric tons of medical supplies to sell at a "state" profit contributed to the economic failure. Question which I am sure you'll answer with you normal prejudiced, sarcastic, snide and,condescending attitude, How does my statement about NOT cheating on logs manage work around to having a problem with them? All my units are PRE Computer controlled. So where is my problem?. Please show your studies and sources that all non union truckers all work 6 days a week, all cheat on their logs, all have no money and all have to fix the non union wreck of a unit on their one day off? How are you so sure we are all living hand to mouth and destitute? Or is that just your clear un biased view of non union, sub wage earners? You bias and prejudicial views make Louis Farakan, Che and Mao look like conservatives. I'm finished with you. You may now retaliate..
  21. So every independent trucker does that? Good to know. Obviously I've been doing it all wrong for 35 years.
  22. COOL!! Likke you work on the seat too. Paul
  23. Please bear with me. I have to dig out my Vietnam photos, as I put them away in 1972 before we moved to Israel and have not opened the box since. The "P-61" may have been a Nord Noratlas. The Broncos were distinct because we had them a attack FAC units it Royal Thai markings There were converted to gun ships C-119 and the Nords were converted by Thailand for ground attack.
