  1. To inflate her she needs the standard schrader. When randyp borrows her she is used to the smaller sports type. Other dog has his own. Rob
  2. Use deep cycle batteries as starting batteries and you will be dissapointed by the short lifespan. They are not made for this internally. Rob
  3. You noticed that gone from your place???? I avoid rainbows and purple paint. Rob
  4. Yeah, well I took three panes of the rear slider out in Crusty with a 22" truck rim!! After dismounting the tires I was tossing the rims into the bed to drop off at the blaster. Low and behold the rim bounce off one already in there and careened into the back glass. It was summertime so after cleaning up at least two million little shards of glass, I was on my merry way. Rob
  5. I still have room to corrupt (I mean educate) my young nephews. I need to get a grasp upon the current game plan before branching out....... Nephews Ben, and Vin, are both doing a great job so far. Rob
  6. Off topic? What you mean? Oh, incidently, the valve core in my doll is still leaking. Have you been able to find a service kit yet? Thanks, Rob
  7. Well that run didn't work out too well. I drove 73 miles for the tank and when we rolled it out of the mount, the bottom came out of it. Damned thing looked perfect too when on the truck. It was very clean with no rust or crud buildup between it and the strap. This one too was a bit to bad to work with. I may get a new one but really need to get this job out the door. Rob
  8. I'm off for a bit. Got to run get a new fuel tank for an R model to kick the job out the door. Tank it too rotten to patch all the way around the retaining bands. Pushed a screwdriver through three different places under the rear band about a foot apart. Rob
  9. Hand throttles are good. They make trucks go fast and me and granddaughter like fast. Uncle Rob
  10. Daughter says I'd prolly just flatten the springs, blow out the driver's side tires, crush the upholstery, deform the floorboard, stink up the interior, and other "pesky" little things. Uncle Rob
  11. The title in my name finally showed up today. I've had temp tags for the truck for several months but wanting the license plates to arrive before finalizing plans to get the truck home. The usually follow fairly close to the title being issued in this republic. Rob
  12. Shit, by that time I'll have already had my third can of creamed corn for Saturday breakfast. With only two opposing teeth left, I can't much eat anything that needs chewed. Starting to think about those plastic teeth lately. Rob
  13. I had a tough time with a small cab R model 10+ years, and about 30 pounds ago. That is why I'd be afraid of rolling that "U" model over on myself if making a sweeping right turn at speed. Uncle Rob
  14. To drive the B67 with contour cab I'd need about and eight inch steering wheel to clear and then I don't know how I'd turn the wheel with manual steering. Uncle Rob
  15. Hard to argue with the truth. Uncle Rob
  16. "Momma" is as bad or worse at picking up after herself than I am. I hate it when she uses my good razor to shave her chin cause she always catches one of her boils and bleeds on the razor. Uncle Rob
  17. For example I was over that weight in sixth grade. That was a long time ago. I used to get called a "Fat Slob" all the time cause I only had access to the wash tub every third Sunday in the summer time. Uncle Rob
  18. I'm sure glad you didn't mention the gut bouncing off my kneecaps, or my knees knocking together when I walk. That might have upset me. I'm real sensitive about my three chins when they get to bouncing independent of one another also. Rob
  19. I'd have kept the big chunks myself. Uncle Rob
  20. Your ole uncle Rob has went by "Slob" for a whole lot of years since his Navy days. The name stuck but I don't know why. Uncle Rob
  21. Alright boys, we'll have no more of that. Uncle Rob
  22. I don't sell nothing. If it will serve as a good spare to keep a truck going, that is where it will go. Now this is a Mack "Bulldog" part so it it winds up in Peterbilt, the outcome could be very positive and the truck will fall apart around it, or it will just "shit the bed" not wanting to be there in the first place. God only knows the answer to that question. I'll measure it up shortly and let you know. Rob
  23. Yes I be. You two be the only family I got on the board and I don't want no arguing round here.Uncle Rob
  24. Some of those old models really had a lot of detail for what they were. That trailer looks stainless and just the history of the photo makes it quite collectible if one is into that.Rob
  25. You guys keep the family feud between yourselves. Ain't neither one of you too big for your ole uncle Rob to turn over his knee to give you a lesson you won't soon forget. Uncle Rob
