Haha got to agree that’s about the only thing is irritating is coming to a rolling stop have to wait for transmission to decide what it wants to do but all our trucks have up and down switches you can decide what you want most of the time
-
Wow excellent
-
I haven’t adjusted a break in 33 years jobs usually have work shop with mechanics that do i check brake shoes on Congers before I picked them up. I’m surprised never noticed that. Oooooooooooo you mean big old wierd fat man stuck on the past… Bob
-
Well, never mind. Clearly, I don’t know what a 9/16 wrench would do either
-
Clearly, they don’t need the money, Joey , so I’m sure they had a coddled upbringing and I am sure a dock work is not going to happen lol Bob
-
Like, why would I carry a 9/16 wrench? Oh I don’t know the scale might be able to tell you ha ha.

That’s one of my complaints about them Bubba guys like me earned them young punks just get to jump right in one right off the bat doesn’t seem fair…. Bob

Yeah they squashed junior’s . Internet Caper in a hurry. Now I noticed the old man’s juicy story is slowly fading away as well. Bob

Yes I am with you. I haven’t slept on my truck. In 32 years. The one thing I did like about it when you’re done you’re done you don’t have to drive anywhere just crawl in the back. Ha ha.
-
Ha ha I can appreciate that although I didn’t think I was going to like the automatic …. Now I think it’s the best thing since sliced bread but I did shift trucks for around 44 years. Bob

I was trying to weld a piece of pipe to a chunk of angle iron. For some reason the weld wasn’t sticking to the pipe only the angle iron.

No, I just have to put it all the together seems a getting just a bit better at following the bead and keeping it going

My Montgomery ward actually drops to 20 amps on DC side

Thanks for that. I think that’s what Matt was trying to explain when he was fixing his fenders. I did learn right off the bat. I was using too much heat … Bob

Plus, I didn’t even know they were around that long. There’s a dealer here in Reno. They do a lot of advertising.

Cool posts guys I ran out of likes ha ha I just spotted it. This thing looks pretty damn good for his age.

I’ll be redoing the entire real section of my go kart I’m trying to get good enough to attempt welding most of it … bigger engine different axle possibly band or disc brakes
-
But I’m working with 1/16th steel I understand thinner stuff is harder to work with
-
Well anyone interested I was able to go out and practice a little bit on my Lincoln welder yesterday weather was gorgeous finally around 200 so I set everything up with some scrap metal and made another attempt still not worth a shit but I think I’m getting slightly better… it’s sure not going anywhere near as fast as I thought I might have to just take a few classes
-
Oooooooooooo ya power mirror would been the bomb but that was way before anyone was using them our trucks all have them now…. Makes it nice especially when everyone can adjust accordingly when I get back in all I have to do is hit the switch instead of having to get out 40 times to find the right spot

My first tractor-trailer job nissens bakery Lynn Massachusetts. They tore down the building a few years ago. Kind of sad lots of good memories. It was a really good job teamsters . It was kind of strange . Once de regulation hit our business went down to a crawl I was hardly working . That’s when I move to California..

Seems like everywhere you go nowadays there’s too many cars

One of my first trucking jobs and California. It was a really fun job but It didn’t pay anything.

I got out padding myself on the back they were all aawwed over this . I didn’t tell them I just got lucky.I was only around 25 haha bob
-
