    Thanks for all that. I think that was the problem I had I couldn’t get mine running not enough cranking power but I think I had mismatched batteries. I just decided to get rid of it all and put the air starter in. I’ll tell you what that starter was not cheap. I think I paid it thousand dollars 30 years ago exchange but yes after all these years that thing hold air forever.

    Thanks for the cheers brothers. I feel like I just got out of solitary confinement lots of time to play with the DM now. Fixing on diving. On that thing I was planning on staying with Fedex working the dock part time in the morning, but they don’t have a position for me right now so I told him give me a shout when you get a spot open extra play money for East Coast truck shows they said they would be calling me soon. They will have part-time forklift driver work pretty soon, but yes, it’s nice to be free of those long hours for at least a few weeks. It will be DM ha ha my puppies will be happy. I am here for them all day.

    I think only the airplane drivers get the gold watch but they did give me a gold watch after 15 years of safe driving

    OK, that’s my CB handle last day of truck driving after 49 years I’m pretty excited about it except it a little creepy Fedex supposedly buying me a big cake this morning when I get in right before they put their foot up my ass and tell me to get out and don’t come back… bob

    Long time ago, I had mismatched batteries. I think that was probably the main issue but sometimes all it takes is a bad wire somewhere…. Bob

    I do know then they were telling me just one of the six v was a little weak. It would make a really big difference in trying to get it started. Actually what I think about it my DM was 24 V and I was having the same issue. I got rid of everything I put in an air starter. I was never really sure what was wrong with it. I just got rid of the whole system. I’m getting old completely forgot about this one under my nose. Bob

    I only owned one truck with the 24 V starter and it was too long ago, but it did have 4—6 V batteries of parallel switch but yeah that would make sense. I guess even today four six volts would give you a lot more cranking power than two 12s… bob

    I don’t remember the chick, but I suppose I probably should’ve ha ha… I think it’s a Foto crop I don’t think any of us were there bob

    Hey Tom, all that skin damage deserves some brew anybody hear from Mechohaulic lately? I just noticed he disappeared.bob

    OK, thanks for that now that you explained it it makes sense. I thought it was something like that, but I can’t quite figure it in my head.

    Typical dirt truck they’re all passing everybody. I got them gone by me all day long at 80 miles an hour but yes, it looks real good.

    Probably mentioned there was an L cab sitting in front of someones property around 320 miles from here right on the main though way here to LA set up there for quite a while. All of a sudden last time we went through there it was gone. Southern California, I’m sure it was pretty clean

    OK, I’m lost. Ha ha good luck. Bob

    I’ve mentioned before I have three welders that I’m not very good at it. I’m still learning at least the past the stage where it looks like bird shit and actually have a little bit of flowing bead…. Bob
  16. mowerman
    That’s what I would do. I would just pull it off and redo it. Yes, unless your the luckiest guy on the world find one really close super clean but then $$$$$. If you’re good with the welder, you’re almost better off to work with what you got.

    I have the similar problem . time to start using some of the stuff . Electric horn kit bought 35 years ago I don’t even know where I put it . …. Bob
  18. mowerman
    Excellent thanks for letting us know. I remember you telling me you did quite about welding on that floor few years back. … bob

    Best of luck let’s get her done:… bob

    Well, that thing looks like it has lots of life left. Good luck with it bud and yes, towing is a fortune. That’s not an option unless you’re working at local and don’t have to go very far…. Bob

    OK Larry it was $6,800 altogether. I thought I only had 40 feet turns out it was 68 feet all together.
  22. mowerman
    You did not mention it a whole lot of bodywork those things I guess they were pretty straight to be begin with
  23. mowerman
    I sold It that to a guy that said he was gonna use it in a commercial. I never did see it on television but the only reason I got rid of it was it had the old farm tractor rear end top speed was like 50 miles an hour. Body was absolutely rust free Southern California pick up no dance for what I remember. The body was pretty much real clean. I had three of those 48-51 and a 53.

    Thanks for that Joey the lines have had it. They just keep sucking air. I believe that’s the problem. I put everything away and went to the car show. Looks like it doesn’t get anything done this weekend. Made like five attempts I said I’m done told my pal with the El Camino I would meet him over there and it was getting late anyway by the time I got out there I’m not sure those lines are original. I don’t know, but they would hold up for 60 years. If that’s possible.
