  1. Thanks for all the support! Thats just good to know you've got good friends!! Paul
  2. No dumber than the others who come here for a better life and refuse to learn english and than try to make here like the country the ran from. Seems to be the new way. Paul
  3. Nice looking, I can see it as a town or county truck or local delievey. Good to see Mack enter the part of the market dominated by Asia and Navistar. Paul
  4. We have a company called BLUE LINK near us that supplies building materials to the lumber yards and big box stores, they favor the older units because they have less problems. On the other side of the coin, Brookhaven, NYDOT and USDOT are just completing a rail link for containers and trailers and the cut off for entry is no older than 6 years for a power unit. Lots of older trucks (my Marmon and R included) are just more dependable. Paul
  5. I'll be taking some this week when the adjuster comes on wed. Funny, I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be.. Paul
  6. Went to my yard ealy this morning to look at it. As long as the chassis is not bent, I'm going to fix it. Where I rolled it was apparently on the grass shoulder. My new roll back seem just scrapped up with one broken bed lock and the light bar bent. The nose is gone. the cab was cut by the F.D. rescue, but thats SOP. The right fuel tank is flat and the stacks gone, but I wanted duals any way My cousin had it running and moved it into my shop right after it was dropped off so thats a plus. Looking at the front I think that the first car went under my front tire, theres paint on the bottom of my bumper and on the bottom of the steer axle. Wish Rob was closer.... Paul
  7. Should a taken the cloths too for polishing rags for the new truck....LOL
  8. Not being able to work the kast month, I got to watch alot of cartoons and news (hard to tell which is which) I learned I was raised wrong! I grew up thinking a job was a job as long as I took care of me and mine it was good. Didn't matter if it was shoveling poop or driving a truck. Work is work as long as the money is green, no more unless your the boss all the rest is beneath you. . I do see where we are killing our own skilled labor pool. The Cat dealer where my grandson works needs a pair of "techs". The tech needs mechanical ability only, no diagnostic skills. The dealers reasoning is they have a parts room for that. Change parts till it's fixed. What a real suprise is, so far all the people who applied are Hispanics and Eastern Europeans. Why is that? Paul
  9. The way things work in N.Y. they're probably driven new cars already cause theys po chillins, like obamamama
  10. Now the pos potus is extending benifits again, but not to worry, he is creating jobs.....disassembling our military and nukes so we can be over run by Mexican drug lords. I've never been in such fear for my country as now. God help us if the sheep reelect him. I for one will not go quietly.
  11. You all should come down here for the week long Polaski festival in Polish Town.... Perogies, Kolaczki cookies and Matyjasz Beer...to strong even for the Germans...
  12. At 9 a.m. I had 3 kids in jap cars racing / running from the Sheriffs on the LIE at exit 62. One went to cut in front to shoot off the exit and clipped the left front of me. The other 2 side swipped me on the right. Next thing I know I was on the was to Stony Brook Hospital. I haven't seen the truck yet, but the Sheriffs and the NYDOT says the truck ended up off the highway on its side and the Sheriff is witness says it was unavoidable and not my fault. Mamma says the entire right side is damaged from the bumper to the end of my NEW bed. Probably looks worst than it is. David I'm going in to my shop tomorrow for a little while, I have to have mamma take me, my pick up is too high and my car is too low so I get to ride in her Crown Vic. Paul
  13. After wrecking my R on December 23 ( I closed the west bound LIE for 5 hours). I'm finally able to see the computer as only one image instead of alot and got all my stitches out today. Sure missed every body!!! Paul

  21. Not a fan of Dodge, even though I have 2, but Dodge sells a Ram 1500 4x4,V8. Regular cab and an 8 foot bed for under 25,000.00 with the 2500 rebate offer. Seriously considering a new mule now. Paul http://www.ramtrucks.com/hostc/bmo/CUT201213DS6L62A/2TA/summary.do
