    You know, I think there was an episode of leave it to Beaver with one of those in it for 38 Mack seems like the Christmas story also had something like that when the kid gets his tongue stuck to the pole

    I understand some of the guys are telling me they’re putting these things under a camper category because of the size and Weight non-commercial. Good luck. I’m sure you’ll probably figure it out by now… Nevada has antique commercial so I don’t think I’ll have an issue but not everybody is that lucky. Bob

    Oh by the way that was the early years after a while I would make sure I got at least 5 1/2 to 6 hours of sleep then no problems at all and nowadays with the E logs you can’t really run around the clock anymore anyway

    I am assuming most of that was staged when they were pulling the guy out of the b model I was thinking my God don’t show me dead people and then I got thinking that was all filmed to make it look that way I drove nights for 40 years and I am no saint either. I have completely dozed off more than once. Luckily nothing ever came out of bed. I woke right up again.

    The more I think about it, it might be easier just to cut a hole in the fiberglass and pull the plate out and replace it but we’ll see what happens frankly, I’m hoping I could turn the studs and wind them out…. Bob

    Yes, that’s the plan Paul right now. I’m just spraying the hell out of them with WD-40 tapping them around hoping maybe I can grab a hold of us studs and work them back-and-forth really slow you know take my time stop them spray them. No big hurry. I’ll work at it for a few weeks, if not next step drill them out and try easy outs or re-tap. Not sure if you understood that steel plate is inside the fiberglass and I can’t get to it without cutting a hole and pulling the plate out and replacing it. But I’m going to try the other two ideas first I hope that makes more sense.

    That was excellent. Thanks for that.

    Not sure if I mentioned this but I have not even set in one except for one and a wrecking yard and my hometown they had a lot of big rigs. I was only around 15 years old 1971 or so even then I was thinking man this sucker is cool. Even then the turnpikes were nothing but U R and F model

    So it looks like I don’t really have any choices except for cutting a hole in the fiberglass to remove this chunk of steel if I wind up breaking all three screws, I am doing my best not to do that

    From what I can see, it’s a piece of metal tapped out because there’s two rivets on the side of it holding it in and in place at least I’m assuming that’s for the two rivets are doing clearly they put the rivets in before they glued all the pieces together. Thanks for that Larry.

    Hell, I think it’s gonna look like it’s ready to work.. bob

    That was me bud asking for the interior photos that looks amazing. Thank you for that I remember way back around 1971 riding on a school bus and the seats resembled the ones in my dad’s 1970 U model I would’ve sworn they were the same exact cushions and color and design and everything else thank you so much for the photos that looks absolutely amazing interior as usual bud you are very inspirational for continuing on my DM …. Bob

    Here in Nevada if it hasn’t been registered in 8 years filing for a title is no issue at all … thanks for posting… bob
  21. mowerman
    Wow, that’s a pretty fair price. Any more of those real old pieces are getting very rare big car show we have here every year I don’t even see anything that old anymore.

    I’m sure I bought this up before it’s not a retaliation thing….. just plain lost interest. And as a result opened up 9 hrs on Sunday to get stuff done win win situation… bob
  23. mowerman
