Well,gettin about that time of year again!,just thought i'd take a minute to wish each and everone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year!................Mark

I'da kinda liked to see this one stay here,looks like its already earned its retirement,reminds me of one i drove early in my truckin carreer,1972,237,5 speed a damn good truck,hard to find a good single axle R-model anymore............................Mark

Tom,i was wondering that myself,judging by the shape of the grabhandle as vinny said,my guess would be a Diamond Reo "Royale"......late 1970's..............Mark

LOL! aint that the damn truth! a few years back,my wife said "why dont you look into a new/newer pickup for yourself,you never buy anything!' so i looked at new chevys,nothing fancy mind you,but at almost 30K for a "stripper" i passed! guess i'll just keep my 70 C/10 which i paid $2850.00 a year old ($50.00 extra for chrome rear step bumper) does'nt owe me a dime,AND i can fix anything that goes wrong with it,without a degree in engineering!................................Mark

Had my truck done a few years back,seemed to help somewhat,my truck went haywire anywhere west of denver! really cant say how it did overall,as i rarely get any further west than chicago anymore...................good to see you back truckin!............Mark

Damn! i hope that don't happen,i got 15-$20.00 tied up in my plane now!........................................Mark

Have two myself,one still in the original pakaging , i bought from a dealer in Jersey that went out of business,dont have that much in both of them. I agree with Rob,seen this on Ebay,and i believe $3/350.00 is a better asking price,gonna be sitting on them a LONG time at $600.00.................just my opinion anyway, Mark

Tom,just let me know when you're ready,just so happens i know a guy thats pretty handy with a moving van! maybe i'll move in across the street,do like Johnny Cash (one piece at a time) i'm almost positive Rob would'nt miss one little RL-series iffn it was removed over time ,an i got a pretty big lunchbox!.............................Mark

Read tonight where Ford has just built its last ranger pickup,allthough the trucks will still be sold and built in 188 countries (primarily asia),the United states and Canada are not included! and one of Fords oldest plants will close,putting 800 plus people out of a job, just frickin' wonderful! more jobs and money sent overseas! nice going!..............Mark http://autos.yahoo.c...-183034573.html

Thats kinda the reason i posted that, i'm so damn sick and tired of hearing people bitching about EVERYTHING! it just aint funny! i think if some of these complainers would just go out and get a job,or at least contribute something useful to the world, maybe then they would'nt have so much free time on their hands to ruin things for the rest of us! Gotta walk on eggshells anymore for fear of offending some ethnicity,religious,or anti-american group of some kind,i got news for these people,planes,trains,and ships leave the U.S. outbound everyday! personally,i'd be willing to sponsor anyone wanting to relocate to the country of their choice if they feel things are too bad here!..................................Mark

Hell. everybody an their brother has a used T-600 for sale! now a western R-model is a real find! dependant upon overall condition, i would make a starting offer of $ 3500.00 go from there and see what shakes out...........just my .02.................Mark

My super secret spy drone aircraft makes a pass over Daingerfield Texas about once a year,this time it sent back some AMAZING footage of Randyp loading up his crawler for transport to the next job..........................Mark

Was listening to the national news today,and heard a story about a neighboring town about 3 miles from where i grew up,seems some nuts are upset about a banner hannging over a public street that says "Put christ back in christmas" the article says that aithiests, gays,jews and wiccans (whatever the hell they are) are all gravely offended by the public display of a "religious" banner,and are fighting to have it taken down A.S.A.P! born and raised in South Jersey,and a allways thought people around there were pretty level-headed for the most part,would someone please explain to me what DOES'NT offend people these days?............Mark http://www.nj.com/gloucester-county/index.ssf/2011/12/pitman_criticized_for_religiou.html

Jay,i get the same thing when i try to look at the awards section,so if you figure out whats up, let me know will you?.......................................Mark

Know just what you mean Ernie! corzine is one of the reasons we live in virginia now!.......i do hear good things about chris christy though,he seem to be doin any good for Jersey?..................Mark

Shoulda' let this guy finish the job,( in my opinion anyway) prolly would'nt be in as much shit as we are now,those sons a bitches had it coming!.................................Mark

Now thats some funny shit right there! looks like Tom nailed it! only thing missing was the bottom of my christmas tree,Butch and Sundance always love to help ol' pop decorate the tree,but seems they cant hold their beer as well as they used to!...........................Mark

Hey Bob,have'nt seen you around in awhile,hope all is well with you and yours,and a happy birthday as well!..............................Mark

Like this one?.....................Mark

Now THATS a great granpaw! real nice to start you along on the right path!......................Mark

Autocar,no? there is a place about 15 miles south of me on U.S.220 that has a few old trucks and junk for sale,they have an older R-model hood (laying on the ground) that says ""COOK" where the Mack emblems should be,this i believe also came off a Challenge/Cook mixer............................Mark

Got to be a steel drum,otherwise you don't get the anti-personnel "shrapnel".................................Mark

Gray ghost? i found one a lot like the one i had,sure wish i still had it...........................................Mark

I have seen that very same bike down to the walmart,thought about buying one myself,kinda need the exercize,lil too much beer lately! i like the "nostalgic"? looks of it too........wish i still had my old bike frome when i was a kid i beleive it was a "Stingray"? had a bananner seat,big sissy bar,and a four speed shifter like a car,was black and silver,with redline tires,dont know much about bikes,but prolly wortha a small fortune now! i'll look around,see if i can find a picture..............Mark

Lets hope its not this one!........................................Mark
