  1. Everything BUT the visor!........................Mark
  2. I agree,they won't even entertain a "custom" order (unless you're buying 2-300 trucks)........................Mark
  3. Its almost sad what's considered "optional" and "standard" nowadays,my Dad ordered a new Peterbilt 359 (sorry)it took a couple weeks to put the order together! salesman actually sat down with my Dad,and went over all options page by page.And not just the standard engine,trans. rears etc. Pop designed his own paint scheme (5 color Imron),picked the placement of gauges,switches,interior materials,colors,carpet etc.I still have the owners manual/build order that came with the truck,contains factory drawings and measurements of the paint order.I remember he even wanted the air horn to have a specific sound,Pete guy says no problem! had a recording of all type horns offered on Petes at the time! ah the good old days!....................Mark
  4. Ken,the leaking is usually caused by a worn "O" ring behind the valve (not easily replaced,but not impossible) from being pushed/pulled over the years, better to change the whole valve (not a bad job at all) and personally i'd stick with whats there (brandwise) always had good luck with Bendix brake products..............................................Mark
  5. Matt,i think your thinking about Anchor Motor Freight/Leaseway ,they ran the light blue GMCs and later some L-Series Fords,used to see them all over the place just kinda vanished...........................Mark

  11. I believe this is the one that was posted along with a bunch of parts for sale,just don't remember seeing any pictures of the actual truck in the listing. Looks like a real good candidate for a restoration..............................Mark http://charlottesville.craigslist.org/cto/3941302288.html
  12. I gotta agree with that Ken! I had/have a big crush on Emmylou Harris! one of the few that has aged gracefully,and not trying to look like she's 22................................................Mark

  21. He said Beaver heh-heh! nice pics as always Tom!....................................Mark
  22. That's my guess as well,going by the logo shape,i'd say these were made by American Coleman,Littleton,CO an un-educated guess at best!.................................Mark
  23. We had one of those old school vacuums when I was a kid,tank type with "ski's" instead of wheels or rollers,to quote Tim The Toolman,"That thing would suck the ass out of a cat from 25 feet away"!!!!!........................................Mark
  24. Nice pics Ray! that red RW looks awful nice to be a parts truck!............................................Mark
  25. That's just what I was thinking! been a LONG time since I've seen one of those Fords in any way shape or form! but I do agree with the unique,just a little too "blingy" for me LOL!...........................Mark
