Not sure if I mentioned, I tried Mack and freightliner first. They both told me they don’t carry the bulk lines anymore… bob

Rolled over F250 install B model sheet metal lol all I got just my opinion lots of options out there like the fellows are saying… bob

Man that Diamond Rio would look right nice at my place. Good luck bud some great ideas…. Bob

Kind of crazy all this obsolete stuff. I was able to rustle up without too much problem. Now I’m stuck. Just trying to get a couple of hoses. Oh well very lucky to get all the other stuff. I’m sure they’ll be here before I die ha ha as far as bed choices, I would like to do the same thing that Matt did but Probably not gonna happen but never say never who knows probably mention the guy right next-door to me has one but it’s a full tow truck and I know nobody wants to sell anything..around here … bob

He said that the size I needed was backordered a couple of times he thought he had them in stock but he did not and Joey the truck will probably never get further than hobeys it’s a local gambling casino 2 miles from here great breakfast bar and machines… lol bob

Oh yes not sure if you guys got it. That transmission is going the rebuilt Trans are putting in does not have the power takeoff. And I would’ve just took it off, but I’m swapping the transmission anyway

The PTO is for the dump truck that’s what it was when I bought it. I removed the body years ago. The PTO is right in the away of my fancy new exhaust. I am planning horizontal resonator muffler with a 4 inch vertical chrome stack. I didn’t want it straight just a little something to quiet it down if I live long enough i’ll look for a stationary flatbed, but I think Joey is right I don’t think it will go any further than their frame and Dunkin’ Donuts ha ha thanks for your interest as well as I’m getting real excited about getting really close to working on this thing I’m still waiting for those oil lines. I called. The guy yesterday said they were back ordered again.

I’ve mentioned this before… don’t know where this jack ass has been…. Race creed color has been ahead of us past 50 years

Had a little interested in NASCAR I used to follow up Fedex car of course then it went to jap lost interest, but I am pretty much a drag trip fan to begin with and as far as the confederate flag goes,,,,, all I got is what the ——- is it to them I am thinking that Las Vegas deal well get swept under the carpet cause they don’t wanna upset the area and have everybody looting and rioting overdoing the totally legal and legitimate prison sentence.to this Piece of trash….

Last, when I got was out of a wrecking yard of an F model, UPS tractor only paid 50 bucks. It was a little too long. I was going to have a shortened but decided to just reroute my exhaust around it since shortening the tank would probably be couple hundred bucks . That’s if I could find anyone at all to do it around here … bob

I am kind of confused just out of curiosity I was looking at a bunch of old posts of B models and it looks like they were using both styles newer and earlier rounded versions. I’m not sure what’s happening there. I’m not a big authority on B model . don’t understand why they’re using both unless some of these guys have changed them to the later so style ones somewhere along the line… bob

so yes,,,,,,i realized i made a complete monkey of myself,on this,,,,been so long since i changed mine,,,,,just recently did it and yes its the steel one,,,,got mine from amazon...

kinda remind me of these steering wheel holders,passing me all day wearing a full headset like a telephone operater,,,,and dont even know what a CB radio is,,or what they do...lol. or how do you say?????????????? they only talk to you when they want something ....bob

personally i think the later ones are better looking,,,,not positive,,,but the B models are differant,correct?????bob

was just figuring i pretty much have everything i need to complete this thing,,been gathering parts for years....all i need now,is around another $2,700 worth of stuff,thats including ten tires,to clean it up entirely,,,rest is just oodles of labor which none of us mind doing ....woohoo...bob

I guess I could give him a little slack. Maybe he’s just busy as the rest of us.

Thought I would add thier pretty much comparable to any fuel tanks as far as prices thier not nessasarilly overpriced

That’s what it looks like I was too busy looking at the floors in the rocker panels

ill tell you what fellas,,,,climate change musta passed by reno,,,because our winters still suck....bob

just ordered a bunch of new exhaust parts from amazon,,,been tired of looking at that big ugly muffler on the side,,,moving it to underneath short resinator type with chrome smoke stack,,,had to order 2 elbos to turn exhaust slightly to go around fuel tank that i got off a UPS f model years ago its a little to long and had to reroute pipes around it,,,,but now im forced to swap out bad transmission,,,because the power takeoff is right in the way,where i wanna put the muffler....all those new parts boost my spirits plus now im forced to jump on more progress ,,,wife got me an engine crane for christmas,,,which will make shit alot easier around here.new transmission has been sitting on a pallet behind my house for 16 years for one thing now i can pick it up and move it into the garage ..bob

Funny thing out here and nobody calls it plasterboard or sheet rock everybody says drywall.. bob

I’m sure most of you heard about those two troopers got mowed down and Las Vegas by a drunk black guy probably has nothing to do with what we’re talking about but kind of goes in with the illegal aliens black folk always seem to get special treatment these days doesn’t matter what they do another Biden deal wife pointed out to me the other day you notice here lately about every TV commercial has black or foreigners in it nowadays and now we can add homosexuals, hugging, and kissing expect I’m sure they’ll make a TV hero out of him instead of a severe punishment let’s see what happens.. bob

OK now that was over funny

I am sure he’s moved on to greener pastures. Will all be there eventually. No, I did not know him either. Thanks for that Joey. Happy Saturday. I thought it would never get here … weeks around here or just getting longer… bob
