  1. Aluminum generally and a lot more rivets or Hucks holding the panels on. It is less ridgid than Glass or resin.
  2. Thanks.
  3. The panel on the cab end of the sleeper, Aluminum, fiberglass or injected resin? Could your MACK panel be modified and fitted to it?
  4. First see if you have power to the dimmer at the Head light switch connector. I've seen the connectors heat up an no longer make contact.
  5. B-75 1955 to 1966 1,619 total production of all series T, LT, S, LS, ST, LST Need cross member and rail work for photos.
  6. The two big differences with JFK and BHO is 1) JFK wasn't a self centered egotist who knows he is the smartest one in the house. 2) JFK had military / combat experience and first hand knew the risks as did his advisers. BHO has Turn Coat Kerry for input. Paul
  7. My R has a circut breaker for the headlights I think your RD should also.
  8. I didn't want to side step you for it. Yes he mentioned frame work. One of my AC frames I totally disassembled and fixed over 100 stress cracks. Took it to Colonnas Shipyard in Norfork to have hot riveted. Second chassis I used Huck bolts. This one has potential for my Christe Conversion. Paul
  9. Brand loyalty don't put a roof over your head and food on the table. Hope all works out. Paul
  10. Here is the facts as I see them. I respect the Office of the President but not the man or 95% of his cabinet or any of his / their actions. They in my eyes have done nothing good for this country as a whole, only caused division and mistrust between citizens. Nothing has shown me any reason to respect the man. ISIS. Create a coalition, join with Russia. . . do what ever is needed but get the job done. Remove the R.O.E. and fight a total war. Let the Commanders in the field run it. Forget about the polls on how your decisions affect your political parties future, your agenda and the "donors you owe" Putin is attacking ISIS' oil tanker trucks, their oil tanker ships (Russia destroyed 116 tanker trucks in a convoy of over 400 trucks) ISIS reportedly has access to 1000 tanker ships. The White House feels we should destroy the oil fields and refineries, Russia says destroy their transport system and the refineries are basically useless. I agree. Stop the open border policy and the " poor Syrian refugees". Their fellow Arabs can take them in. Stop comparing the Syrians to the Japanese. The Japanese Americans, the German Americans and even some Italian Americans were detained. Right or wrong, our values, the times, media and people were much different in the WWII years. There was still Patriotism and a sense of Honor and Trust. Now a person who displays love of God and Country is someone the Government is afraid of. I served, I was drafted and never thought about not helping my country. My only regret bout that time is that all the Campus Radicals, Flower Children and followers of Timothy Leary are the ones in power now and still haven't grown up. I'll now climb off my Bulldog and quietly go to my corner
  11. Are you interested in it?
  12. He's just north of Boston in Revere, I'm going up Saturday morning.

  14. In all seriousness, you and your dad and sons are so lucky to have the truck and memories to share, relive and make a ton of new ones. You are are lucky! Paul
  15. The terrorism article was written in 2002 by at the time a 93 year old USS Oklahoma vet, I'm sure this was the best information he could acquire at that time. Yes we did and still do regime changes and most all come back to bite us. 14249 murders in 2014. How many were done by undocumented emigrants and gang related. As for my opinion of this mess, how smart can I be? I was too dumb to not get drafted in 1971 and stupid enough to get wounded...twice
  16. USS OKLAHOMA SOCIETY NEWSLETTER TERRORISM HISTORY U.S. History 101 VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE! You have to read the catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can take the position that all we have to do is say we are sorry, sit back, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will ever bother us again. In case you missed it, World War III began in November 1979... that alarm has been ringing for years. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary. AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP! That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were killed -AD) and maybe it was, but I think it should have been "Get Out of Bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then. It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world's most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this sovereign U. S. embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years. America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol of America's inability to deal with terrorism. America's military had been decimated and down sized/right sized since the end of the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start. Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued. In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button once more. Then just six short months later a large truck heavily laden down with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more. Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait, and America continues her slumber. The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept. Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid. Then in August a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed and the snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually attacked. Fifty-nine days later a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed. The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killing 259. Clinton treated these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact we are still trying to bring these people to trial. These are acts of war. The wake up alarm is getting louder and louder. The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and not an act of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again. Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women. A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroys the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively. They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. These attacks were planned with precision. They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep. The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12 October 2000, when a small craft pulled along side the ship and exploded killing 17 US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to sleep. And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America.How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep. In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high official in government over what they knew and what they didn't know. But if you've read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979. The President is right on when he says we are engaged in a war. I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it will continue until we as a people decide enough is enough. America needs to "Get out of Bed" and act decisively now. America has been changed forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto said "... it seems all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant." This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorists around the world. Support Our Troops and have the courage, political or militarily, to address what so many who don't have the backbone to do both Democrat and Republican. This is not a political thing to be hashed over in an election year this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to come. Note: Over 4,000 lives were lost by Terroist actions against the United States prior to declaring war on Terrorism around the world after 911. ~ "LEST WE FORGET" ? ~ (THE EDITOR)

  19. This the woman person who last week chastised Obamma for not pulling all our troops from Afghanistan "like he promised her", than hailed him for the foresight to send troops to Cameroon to quell the unrest. DAILY MAIL 16.11.2015 1 p.m. French and E.U. members hoping for an it's-us-or-them declaration about the ISIS terror army from Barack Obama were left unsatisfied as the U.S. president said he would continue to pursue a strategy that leaves America's military might on the shelf. Calling Friday's terror attacks in Paris a 'sickening setback,' Obama insisted his goal is to 'reduce the flow of foreign fighters' streaming into ISIS's sphere of influence by addressing the root causes of the terror organization's growth. which the White House feels is lack of jobs and opportunity. Obama dismissed the idea of any military strategy as misguided, saying it is the Republicans who want to draw blood and are not seeing the big picture. +6NOT GOING THERE: President Barack Obama held a news conference following the G-20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey, on Monday, saying he'll stay the course on ISIS instead of trying to draw blood Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook
  20. Scoop is for the Tip Turbine intake. It an R series with standard tilt hood.
  21. Congrats! I looks good and good project for you and your pop. Is it missing Spotlites on the cab? Paul
  22. Cali's title system is a maze. That would have an in operable / non repairable title issued by DMV and CHIP's. Big to do to even get it out of state as the VIN has to be confirmed by CHIP's. The 4 places it would be 3 were eaten by tin worms 4th is a motor #. I had first hand experience with CAL DMV / CHIPS when I bought a 1941 Chevy Cantrell bodied Woody Wagon with the INOP/NON REPAIR title. .Couldn't just load and leave had to deal with CAL DMV and have CHIPS Verify the VIN to get a transferable title and transport pass to leave Kalifornia. Bringing a non operable in to the state is just as bad if not worse.
