    Probably mentioned a wife bought me an engine crane for Christmas there. I know that thing is gonna come in real handy around here lifting all this heavy stuff. Decided to get one when I found out the steering box that I have to take out weighs 100 pounds

    I even bought a brand new five horse Briggs & Stratton for one of my air compressors there saved a lot of money

    I bought a porter power in there over 30 years ago. I’ve only used it about three times still works real well. Got it for a song. Perfect example of what you’re talking about. I only use that around three times.

    Yes, it is. Sure makes shit a lot easier when you’ve got the right equipment. If you’re doing engines all the time engine stand is definitely a big help Joey you are my hero. Ha ha.

    I ran a 435 for a short time that was a pulling SOB real pleasure to drive, 80 mile an hour top end made it nice to pass people with triples trailers on a two Lane Rd. just wind it up and blow their doors off bulldog looks great nice catch you could also walk through Home Depot and find what you need. They got all kinds of stuff like that. Good luck bud.

    Yes, from what I saw it looked like all it needed was a fresh coat of paint. Basically just scratch it up and shoot it and start pulling the camper.

    Thanks Paul yes, it’s a nice feeling to start finally on it as I mentioned I’ve had it almost 30 years it’s mainly just been sitting around waiting for attention. I started it and moved it around. Quite a bit through the years to keep everything going about it even had it stored in two different locations through the years when I didn’t have a place to put it it doesn’t even seem like I’ve had it anywhere near that long bought it around November 1994

    I used to ride. We had to stay overnight halfway through day. The wind was blowing too hard going from San Diego to Reno.

    I think mine has those semi things they look like air tires, but there’s no valves

    Thanks for that I’m sure he’s in a more relaxed atmosphere now I was going to say a much better place when you’re full of fame and fortune how bad can your life be? RIP Cale… bob

    Yes, I probably mentioned that. I usually don’t have time to do anything at all during the week. I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

    I also thought it was a DM at first Glance Probably because steel nose is usually offset… bob

    I was thinking the same thing holy cow. This guy is not wasting any time. I didn’t realize it was gonna go about extreme.

    Don’t think I ever answered it’s kind of a nice looking muffler stainless steel kind of a football shape. I might try to put it on the side.Then put the chrome stack on top of it. it’s a nice neat little deal. Kind of ashamed to hide it under the truck but if I do that, I have to cut the stack and I really don’t want to do that.

    Wife still hasn’t mentioned kitchen cabinets so I’ll get started swapping out the transmission or pull out steering box and pump and go through both I was going to hold off on that but now the steering wheel is binding and the steering radius as lousy on the truck as it is, so it’s kind of difficult to move it around when the steering wheel keeps stopping not sure what I’m going to do next got a hold off on any more bodywork though the weather gets better. Oh yes, there’s lots of other stuff to do ha ha.

    Ok worked on it good part of day lines all on …got s big break in the weather ….small line was kinda ball buster couldn’t get the bottom started in ,,block end, it wouldn’t thread, kept trying and trying I was laying on a creeper. Finally, I got on top where I could barely reach it and I was able to get it threaded from the top cleaned up the oil pot wiped it completely dry should be able to finish up today.

    I think I could honestly say I have never seen a DM 800 with a sleeper excellent looking model. Thanks for sharing… bob
  22. mowerman
    No, I doubt it. I don’t think anything is anywhere near that high gear is all looked to be in pretty good shape. Frankly, I think you could just pull it all apart and clean everything up. Good luck.
  23. mowerman
    And yes, Tom, I like the booty
  24. mowerman
    I have only done one in frame I was living in the San Fernando Valley at the time and my driveway. It was 106° every day I was working on it and yes I can remember pulling automatic transmission out of a 55 Chevy wagon when I was just a teenager, it was only 17° out, ha ha now there is some talent. I wouldn’t do it now at 67.

    .Sorry I missed this sometimes I don’t get on here too much during the week. I wound up with another one . tractor bid situation. they did fix the transmission on the other one but now somebody else is driving it, so what I have now is absolutely fabulous I really like it and thanks for asking. This should be the last truck . I’m only going to the end of September.bob
