  1. And Joey, you never cease to amaze me. I think you hit the nail on the head retailers were already raising their prices way before the tariffs started.
  2. Yeah, same thing here at Dave. My grandparents came from Greece right around the same time. They also started the trucking business with a team of horses. They were doing so lousy around the depression. My pop had to quit school and get a job to help out. he was lucky enough to find a job in 1930. But he wound up retiring as a teamster so he did OK
  3. well lets hope some good comes out of these tariffs,,,,so far were stuck buying way too much china imports,with no other choices and now paying more ,,,,strange stocks were souring,as soon as they were in place,,,pants,shirts shoes,appliances ,,,,rediculous,,bob
  4. no i cant help but i would try a dutch boy or sherwin williams paint store,,,,they have tons of listings on board for auto and truck paint good luck,,,bob
  5. and joey,,,,the government needs to keep thier mitts out of our retirement accounts,,and Force retired politicians to settle for a regular pention as the rest of us have to deal with,,,,instead of rewarding them with full pay,,the rest of thier lives,,,,thats rediculous,,,bob
  6. holy cow,,,,russ,,where have you been i saw you on the street one time years and years ago,with your dogs,,,,then you just vanished,,,,me and otherdog were just talking about you a few weeks ago,,,and wondered what happened to you great purchase,,,have a ball with it,,,bob
  7. oh gotcha,,,,latest progress,,,hoping to be bolting this thing back in this week,,,been screwing around too long gotta get going,,even washed my car yesterday,,,soaking the parts now,,,gotta do some banking business a little later then mess with these parts a little later,,,after box is installed,,gotta pull the seal out of this axle,,,,vacation is over lol
  8. Thanks for that. If it’s for posting photos, I usually don’t have a problem. I was just trying to put too many on there at the same time
  9. Well I was trying to add 2 more photos… I was running into a little issue of coarse the queen of mower world just had to use the computer in an absolute emergency so I had to exit before I was done now all she is doing on there is browsing for best prices on printer ink lol … bob
  10. well a little more to report,,,,mostly more grunge work,,,,but now got almost all of the filthy parts behind me,,,
  11. I did have one fall apart on me one morning, not quite daylight middle of a canyon full of curves of course they were stuck on High luckily it was breaking daylight and very light traffic coming at me had to keep turning off the lights completely. When there was somebody cominglol true story and yes pictures would be nice if you’re new on here sometimes they’re tricky to post … bob
  12. Yes, that was an excellent story almost missed it. Thanks for that. What a monster. Even these days of 400 Big cam is quite an engine….. bob
  13. no, he does not draw a paycheck
  14. Oh by the way, bud nobody cares if you’re talking about a different truck everybody’s welcome… bob
  15. Oh, I almost forgot about the floor buttons. I don’t know why they took them off the floor because sometimes both your hands are busy when somebody comes up and you have to hit them down kick switch a lot more effective you know how much shit do you need on your turn signal switch
  16. Well, so far, Dave there’s a lot less parts in it than I would’ve thought. I will continue progress this afternoon.
  17. That’s very interesting because I didn’t think either one of those two jokers did anything to improve this place
  18. Right now, I just need to move around the yard in and out of the garage without dripping oil everywhere
  19. I’m anxious to get it out of there and start working on the nose, but I still have to fix a rear axle seal while it’s in there. Summer is flying right by and after a week in San Diego it’s taking me a little while to get back in the loop, very easy to just turn lazy. I forgot to mention straight line steering did tell me that most of those internal parts in mist cases are obsolete
  20. Any more issues down the road I will just order a rebuilt box
