  1. That’s really weird. I got a spellcheck on my computer. I have to use it all the time.
  2. Well, the plan is to finish the box and put it back in today and then Friday go down and get two new lines made have it up and running Friday then start on rear end ha ha well, let’s see what happens
  3. Wow, thanks for that. Looks excellent Bob.
  4. Oh, forgot to mention our supermarket is also right in there. It’s a huge area with all kinds of retail, pet shop supplies, clothes shoes.
  5. Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me at all. We’ve got so many cars here now and everybody is in a big old hurry. This place is absolutely horrible speeding tailgating illegal passing running lights. It’s ridiculous here. I really don’t even like to drive anywhere I’ve mentioned before I only take my car out three times a week to the gym 5 miles each way and I hate even doing that. Fortunately, most of my business is on the way to the gym Home Depot FedEx shipping dentist. It’s all in the same area. As well as many restaurants we would like to trade with I feel your pain Dave. I ran down into LA many years and believe it or not with all the traffic they have down there. I had more incidents up here very glad to be done with roadwork.
  6. I’ve had very good luck with reception on the back of the cab or the passenger door these days with all the plastic it’s a little bit more difficult than it used to be our Peterbilts have a pigeon perch on both sides above the doors, makes it very easy to hook the cable and antenna up and run ithe cord through the door weatherstripping kind of hard to explain without being there to point out what I’m talking about
  7. I am not sure what to tell you I used to run a lot of CB radios. If it looks like it’s too difficult you might wanna just run it in the back of your cab. There’s lots of us that used to mount them on the slide bar where your airlines hang from Above the back window or just bolt the bracket to the back of the air shield and run your cord through the window, insulation side door and tuck it into the ceiling panel. But wherever you mount the antenna, the bracket has to be grounded on steel. You might need to run a ground strap from a bracket to wherever you can find anything steel back of air shells usually has both going into the cab. You can put the ground strap on one of those bolts. Good luck. Bob.
  8. Same here Paul it’s only been a few years where I started any serious precautions first 60 or so years I did absolutely nothing to take care of myself.. but after retirement, my blood pressure dropped almost 30 points and I cut way back on Booze a few months ago
  9. Well this eye bullshit thier telling her she only 25 percent average of getting better
  10. You know I owned a 48 and a 51 Chevy pickup seems I remember them looking like that very long ago hard to remember I do remember I had a 67 IH scout and the outside door handles looked exactly like R model handles
  11. Well they all look to be carpet munchers… but apparently they can’t control crime worse care to lol bob
  12. Coincidence I’m at the doctors right now with Mrs mower she is getting a second injection for burst eyeball vein do to elevated blood pressure got the pressure under control but apparently these injections are a routine thing now
  13. I was tapping that side cover a bit if you really need to know Dave but thanks for your interest and yes, it is brand new by the way not so much the steering box but there is a little bit of history behind the brand new hammer ha ha keep you guessing
  14. lol yes … a superliner is going to look good any color but I would guess black or burgundy would turn more heads if that’s what you’re looking for possibly candy apple blue .. good luck
  15. Wow, thanks for that. That was heavy. I usually don’t care to read anything that long but for some reason, I took the time to go through that one thanks for that Paul that was a lovely story.
  16. I’m wondering if that was the one that I couldn’t figure out what he was doing wrong and what everybody was looking at
  17. I was thinking of that guy a little while ago and that’s just what I was thinking uh oh I got competition in this now and yes, I wound up pulling the sector. Shaft cover back off.because i set it down on its side and lost the center point uuuuuuuuuurrrrr I could’ve had the box completely together, but I forgot to dip one of the pieces so I had to throw it in the solvent and let it soak. I’ve already been dragging my ass on this job. Another few days is not going to make any difference.
  18. Hopefully, we’ll all be here. Almost missed this one. Thanks for all the photos Dean.
  19. I thought you already picked the colors lol
  20. Also found a court case against them from 1967. I don’t know what that was still doing on there. It was a long read as well.
  21. But those things do not look beige, too tone of some sort
  22. Well, clearly, they’ve been brought up before on here. Found it on Google search under BMT antique classic
  23. I ran team for a very short time way back … one chick they stuck me cd with was grinding gears worse than anyone I’ve ever seen.Bob
