You gotta go to Disneyland ….all ages welcome. We still go there every a few years.Wife was raised in San Diego so we are down there atleast every couple years

OK got a lot more progress grinding off more Old Bondo and fiberglass. Of course I can’t post to the pictures but yes, I was impressed with my progress today and closer to starting the repairs… bob

Also, I think watts has them in B model store they are a fortune for some reason if you find them you might want to check them… bob

Can’t be much help. All I could suggest is Google search there was quite a few of available. I did spot some with the bulldog but I don’t think they were heated. Good luck…. Bob

Wow wonder why so cheap????thanks for that… bob

Sounds like somebody was thinking you could even get stuck with one of those coming out of a parking lot onto the road where it drops down a bit. I’m sure that’s happened before. Yes as I mentioned I don’t even know how I remember that it was 40 years or so ago when I lived back there it was right there in my small town gas station, just up the road and we only had a few inches of snow, but that guy was going back-and-forth trying to get that rig out of there out here we carry what we call cheater chains we use for situations like that just a little length of chain you stick it around the tire and through the rim and hook it has a hook on the end just enough to get you out of the yard or we use them sometimes to hook up our trailers. Also if the yard is full of snow in the road is fine…. Bob

I’ve been in the west coast now for 44 years and I’ve never seen one till that one… construction out fit right here in town had a few DMs a few years ago …. And in all those years out here between the seven western states,, I’ve probably only come across 3-4 other DMs…. For sure not a big demand for them here …bob

Yes, I live there for 15 years. It’s a gorgeous place but politicians are run it right down on the ground. I’m not even gonna open up that kind of worms but yes, as far as law-enforcement I think they have probably more commercial truck rules than any other state in the nation my wife grew up in San Diego. We travel down there quite a bit for visits. Anyway, as I mentioned, they were a lot of them there , and they just kinda came and went. They were becoming very popular and a real short period ……then all of a sudden disappeared and yes, that’s what I heard about them… bob

Oh my God Braintree I haven’t even heard that name in years. Yes, the storm was horrible. People were crippled for weeks running out of milk and bread eggs nobody could even go anywhere they were stuck in the house. They were lucky and they could even get out of their house the snow is so deep And certain areas

You would think that they were hot and heavy for a while. All of a sudden they all disappeared. What happens was California decided by chroming the rims it weaken the steel they were nice to enjoy for a while. not sure if that was ever proven, but California has their own set of rules as far as trucks goes over there really don’t like anything… I ran through that state for over 40 years believe me, I know. Bob

OK plan is more work on the nose tomorrow. Supposed to be a pretty good day. Let’s see what happens. I’m anxious to get started on some more grinding.bob

Let’s rephrase that I broke in on an R model trained on the U model…bob

Those rims look chrome to me. They were using them quite a bit in California for a while until they outlawed them…. Bob

Excellent great progress,,,, let’s keep it up … bob

Thanks for the response. I thought somebody might’ve known something about it look pretty clean…. Bob

Excellent thanks for letting us know. Yes we all have the weather issue or at least most of us. I’m gonna try to go out and do a little work on mine this Saturday. Let’s see what happens… bob

I’d completely forgotten all about this I broke in on a 2 stick U model…. Point being, it was an old Plymouth Rock tractor and it was just about the same color… bob

Saw one on a flatbed going west, Lovelock Nevada. It was painted white with a tanker body anybody know anything about it interstate 80 westbound Tuesday morning?????

I did run an E6 350 and a cruise liner that’s a real healthy engine… bob

No just always liked the way they look… there’s a few guys on here that have them and really like them good luck and yes I would go for it… bob

Still trying to figure that one out….. Any rate ordinarily, if it takes more than a few hours, I just hire somebody while I’m still working and making pretty good money and no time once I retire, I’ll be doing most everything myself… bob

Wow looks way worth it good luck… bob

Thanks for a cool story. Hope you find it…. Bob

Yes, I remember it. Well, I guess I was real lucky to just have to go home. That was a hell of a mess..bob
