Wow, thanks for that. Truck is absolutely gorgeous. When I grew up in New England back on the 60s those things were everywhere mainly 10 wheel dump trucks… definitely one of my favorites..bob

God love him ….. Yes, that’s the way it was no I am not gonna put a negative spin on this. I’m going to leave it alone. Glad I only have nine more weeks too many lazy kids not enough truck drivers left… bob

But yes, I do remember the lock ring digging into the rim since I repaired a lot of them and as you mentioned, it’s almost impossible to blow apart. Most of us just feel better without them as a teenage kid I used to be able to finish up a tube repair in 15 minutes, that’s time from jacking up to jacking down …. Bob

I heard 1959 prior to that they had the smaller version that only had one single arm and yes, I know you know what I’m talking about. Every little bit helps. Let’s keep up the good work….bob

I just worry about age and hairline cracks that you can’t see the front ones. Not sure why I have explain myself about 60 year old rims beat to death on mostly off road operations…. lock ring is pointing right at you also don’t feel comfortable working in front of it at all . I’ve never seen one blow apart, but they can do some healthy damage… if you prefer those…. Go for it most of us do not… and yes, I worked at a tire shop and 73 and changed quite a few of them didn’t even use a cage those days….. As far as painting rims, they always look good with hubs black or color of truck.. bob

Just old trucks website is no longer going? I have never gone there, but I’ve heard about it.….and thanks for all that… bob

I believe I’m changing the front tires to tubeless rims split rims are very dangerous. I’m thinking of doing that with mine just the front tires. I used to change them and I was a teenage kid in 73 at 68 . Don’t feel so comfortable.around them … bob

Lots of room for lots of ideas that thing is the bomb very fortunate to have bought it lots of us so jealous…. Bob

Hospitality in Homer was overwhelmingly and of course the diner was gone country is taken over by corporate America kids food restaurants… bob

Excellent bud… thanks for that and have a ball…. Bob

Nothing surprises me about any of that… and these communist pigs have got the left wings right in their pockets… wow … bob

Wish I was closer definitely worth the trip last year… bob

I walked around there two complete days and I never saw everything next time I go out there. I’m gonna spend more time. I’m sure I’ll be out there next year….bob

You looked very, very young in that video

That’s very interesting thanks for that. When I broke in. I was working with a lot of guys that started on. Chain drives. I haven’t even seen a sterling and a few years there’s a few of them around here I have seen that shows… bob

I’ve heard of federals I’m not that familiar with them I guess fagael used to be quite common over here. I don’t think I spelled that right… bob

Paul, there’s tread is for a bullshitting go for it, brother

Excellent… almost missed it… bob

Right????????? I had mine before I met her but for a while, I had to listen to. We can’t live in a regular neighborhood like everybody else cause you have to insist on hanging onto that drunken dinosaur…. after a few years, she actually likes it here and doesn’t care about the High class brand new pretty areas with all the homeowners associations …company, over this weekend but yes, I will make sure I get a couple of hours in that truck between Saturday and Sunday like most of us are always saying it’s always something coming up that gets away as I mentioned I’ll be semi retired and September so I shouldn’t worry about it. I’ll have plenty of time every day for that truck … bob

Yes, it is. I was thinking of nothing else with a tractor pulling the people bus… it would seem like a rough ride….. again very interesting post…. Bob

Crazy video bud thanks for that…. I think as slow as my success has become… I think mine will be road ready before yours way cool truck Paul….. bob

And yes, that’s pretty much what I was talking about… bob

some of them are very interesting to look at

Not sure Ralph Kramden would be on board either. Bob

Ok contractors done back at it Saturday.. bob
