  1. I told my wife I'm a proud member of PETA she got a might upset, til I explained PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals
  2. Me too. Any ways Momma don't like the smell of natural gas in the morning. Always yells at me for doing it too. Paul
  3. I'd rather have the rusty B model wrecker up the road.........
  4. Waste oil is for killing all my poison ivy and summac, too valuable to recycle. The floresent bulbs,we have to hand deliever them to the dump...oops recycling center, than a employee comes out in a hazmat suit to retieve them from the counter. Always want to accidently drop one to see the panic. Well I hear Rowdyrebel got a stash,I'll trade him ammo for some of the old ones, 5 rounds for one 60 watter. Here are two more...almost funny if it wasn't so pathetic. My son builds and flies Estees rockets with his Boy Scout Troop (hes assistant scout master),.The store that supplies the Rocket Engines and ignitors says that after 33 years of being classed as flamible solids the are now classes as explosives and will need to be ATF regulated. They are the size of a 1/3 pack of pennies. The other son flies Big RC aircraft and after the "terrorist " attempted to hit DC with one , Shuemer now want federal licencing with the FAA and Homeland Security and limits on who can have them, when and where you can fly them and Federal registration of the plane and "pilot". Thats nuts
  5. Sure he is GE is closing their Jet Engine plant is North Carolina and opening it up in China. See it works out. Because as 7,000 laid off here and 7,000 hired in China...net jobs lost zero.

  7. I went to the body supply shop I've been dealing with since I was 16 for paint for my 1980 R.It just came back from Weldbilt getting the chassis stretched and prepped for the body. I've grown very fond over the past 20 or so years of PPG Del Star Acrylic Enamal. Three coats @ 60 PSI, come back in the morning and assemble or two tone it. (My trucks are all white with orange roof and fenders) Plus it shines like a diamond in a goats ass. I found that I need to replace most of my PPG reducers and hardener, use their Euro Barrier with the "NEW EURO FRIENDLY" stuff and change from 3 coats @60 to 5 coats @30. PPG changed the formula to conform with Euro Blue Regulations. If I use my stock of older supplies the top coat may or may not harden fully for an extended period. Thank you EPA, O Wammy and The European Union for making my world a little greener and my face a little redder. Paul
  8. Funny, I never really looked at the grab handle, but did feel better in the seat, I thought the dash made it feel roomier, Thanks for the info. Paul
  9. Got to get one of those!! great!! Paul
  10. Read the story on a few sites, this was the first one I read the comments on. Most all agree with the conclusings I came to this morning. Must have been some good threat(s) in my opinion. May be a Gibson style raid or an Enviromental raid.... You all best vote!!! Paul
  11. Why did the article end up on the subject of gorillas?? paul
  12. Looked at a late DM 8 series and one thing mentioned was it had a "plus III cab". Didn't seem to be any different than my DM except the newer dash board. What is it? or isn't it? Paul
  13. I still want one of those trucks 10 years later! Dark green and all that gold leaf.... Only a year older, we had Ballantine, Schaffer and Schlitz here on L.I.....all from the same warehouse near where we went to trade school..where we learned body work on their trucks. I get a free beer from my wife "Here. Take this and get lost" Paul
  14. Well it is the first time anybody would trade for a pontoon. (1) not pontoons (2). It really don't look too bad for a 56 year old tow truck though. Paul
  15. Thought I was the only one that stuff happens too. I chased a E model Ballantine Beer truck for years, I stopped every time I was near there. One day it was gone. The cut the body off for storage and scrapped the cab! Thought no one wanted it. Paul
  16. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
  17. Good point, could be over charged from the get go. Paul
  18. First check your fuses and you may have an AC relay, check that also. If all there is good, than got to the next step. With the key on, engine off, turn on the Ac and put the blower on, use a test light or meter at the wires at the Compressor clutch to see if there is power there. If the is, the magnetic clutch should be engaged. You can have somebody turn the AC on and off and see or hear the clutch engage, and you should not be able to turn it. If it is not engaged and you have power then most likely the clutch is bad. If you do not have power, then follow the AC lines back to the low pressure cut out switch, check for power in and power out ,while the truck is running with the ac and blower on. If you have power in and none out, jump the switch, if the compressor engages it it a bad Low Pressure switch. If no power there then I would head to the AC/Heater controls in the dash for a bad switch or wire connector. There may be a few other items I missed, but these are the basic checks for most every system. Paul

    Nothing to do after my AC chassis hit me in the forehead,I was told not to do anytrhing stressful so I figured I post these.....
  23. My mixer has what looks like a PTO cable that goes from the dash board to the pump but it's long disconnected. Don't see why it would be hard to hook one up though. I don't think I ever saw a working one. Paul
  24. They are for whats called a Kaufmann Starter, seriously try a Aircraft supply house or surplus store ....or Rob may know? Paul
  25. Just like home... nobody tells me nothing..... just looked at the link....suppose you don't use Pay Pal??
