  1. One of my first jobs was a trash truck. One of those I didn’t get to drive it. I was working the back throwing trash, leach compactor.
  2. Yes, I’ve mentioned a time or two. I sold the 62 Ford wagon, low mileage one owner family car around 1990. I am still kicking myself in the ass getting rid of it.
  3. Right? I tried to sell quick farms some parts I knew I had and I could not find them anywhere.
  4. Fortunately, it’s all labor not very expensive to fix just a lot of time which I have plenty of now. Ha ha I have been saving all kinds of containers different sizes shapes for backing.
  5. I would be pissing myself to have that now
  6. Excellent thanks … bob
  7. You know Larry I don’t think any of us are expecting shit to hang around so long when we buy this stuff Bob
  8. This thing has been hit and repaired numerous times
  9. No, fortunately it’s all fiberglass but it’s gonna take some creative redoing. I’ll be out there messing with it a little later.
  10. Yes, that’s the way everything works around here. It doesn’t have to be that thing. Household repairs are the same way.
  11. You know back in the day 6 bangers in a family car was quite common my first car was a 64 valiant with slant six 3 on the tree paid 20 bucks engine smoking back in those days. I didn’t know what I was doing. I tried to do a somewhat half ass rebuild wound up putting a rod through the block.
  12. Well didn’t do anything today but watch TV be running out of decent weather soon like to atleast get the left corner well on its way hen start on transmission swap or rear axle seals
  13. I’ve never seen that truck…. Gorgeous good luck I’m sure someone knows of it
  14. 396. Yes, I was also wondering what year those came out you just cleared that up.
  15. Both excellent choices. I also had a 65 impala convertible. I only bought it for the engine that I put in that 55 Belair. it was kind of a shame to scrap the rest of it because the body was in really good condition., chrome, grille but in 1975 it really wasn’t worth anything at all. I only paid 135 bucks for the whole car.
  16. Not sure if I mentioned truck needs a lot of work, but it’s mostly just swapping out parts I wanted to start the restoration off by redoing the interior…. cab and doors are in pretty good shape, but I decided to start with a nose because it was the worst part. Everything else will be a lot easier.. bob
  17. Thanks for that hot tip matt yes I have 2 of them one hand board one air operated
  18. you wonder how this guy heard about the show,,since you did mention it wasnt widely advertized??????seagrave thanks for that,,,,i for one,was wondering what is was,,,some fantastic designing,,,bob

  20. Excellent thanks for that
  21. Yes sir, that’s just the way it was I couldn’t find much on a Cummings weight, but I am assuming they’re similar. Also make sure you use something light in the sandblaster as we discussed. Otherwise, you get clean steel full of craters I think but nutshells would probably be your best bet. Good luck.
  22. According to Google and ENDT 673 is 2240
  23. I don’t think it’s gonna take that long but I guess it depends on what size unit you are using. I would’ve guessed 2 to 3 at the most.
  24. and joey,,,i would also like more vehicles wife says same thing,,,,besides i cant argue,,,with retirement income,,,i have to watch what i spend,,,,,and make sure i have travel money for my yearly visits to Pennsylvania
