    Hope you all get the needed rain or at least the winds die off. Be carefully as you can. We had a big fire in the Pine Barrens here in '95 ,a baby fire compared to what you're dealing with, but I saw what it can do first hand. BE SAFE and BE CAREFULL. Our prayers are with you. Paul

    The required safety devices in the inspection is relative to the year of your truck. You are required to have what was required in 1961. My mixer has a Low Air warning light that was added next to the gauge. It is wired to a pressure switch mounted in the primary air tank. The wiring and switch are definatly an add on. Paul

    I read the article in O.D mag and the driver did not take the companies program that is in a rehab facility, he joined AA to save his insurance costs before reimbersment. Most everybody I've seen in AA drinks as much or more than before they joined. Paul

    Recaps from a main stream company are as good as new tires. I get mine from Max Finkelstein. He's a distributor for Good Year, Michelin and Hankook. He has 2 or 3 facilities in the N.Y. area. They have to meet DOT standards. Most casings can be safely recapped 2 or 3 times and are designed with that in mind. Savings are about a third less than new up here. There is an interesting side note, most of the road gators you see here are not from recaps failing, but from new tires being run low on air. Paul

    I met Arnie Beswick at the UDRA Summer Nationals in 1970 when he ran a GTO funnycar, and again a few years ago at Cacklefest in E town. I followed him and Arlen mainly because the both ran Pontiac Tempests at one time. I some what recall the Weekend Warrior. Here in the N.Y. area the Poncho expert was and still is Nunzi Romano in Brooklyn and Royal Pontiac

    FMCSA rules come first, sounds like a way to scam the company and the system! Boo hoo poor me. Take some repondsibility for yourself and the others you may kill or injure. Too many "disabilities" if you ask me. Your "disabled" if you drink, or do drugs, or a over weight or lazy. Get over it, it's not any bodies fault but your own. IMO another bum trying to get on the free money tit! Paul

    Sure like to see that! "Akron Arlen" Vanke and "Arnie the Farmer" Beswick were heros to me in the 60's and 70's. My father ran a D/gas 55 chevy in the 60's that I ran on the street from the 70's til now, and I crewed on Marinos Italian Ices '72 Challenge A/fc. interesting cars than, not cookie cutter blobs like now.

    My personal experences are that you never skimp on tires or brakes. Lives depend on them. Paul

    My '28 has an early hood on ,with out the top access door and 10 louvers, which after doing research on your post I've learned its 1922 and older. I'm off to Hersey Pa. for the October swap meet. last year I found NOS pistons and gaskets for my AC engine there. I'll keep my eyes open for one that is good for your measurements if still needed or a pair of good ones. Paul

    Altered Wheel base was pre Funnycar. Changed the center of gravity and was supposed to help weight tranfser, good for racing bad for street. (don't ask how I know)
  23. 41chevy
    Some of the B and L models had them and there were a few Cruiseliners used by Republic Aircraft with a sliding rear window in the sleeper saection. (think it was after market though) Paul
