  1. I would try to borrow an engine hoist .. but as Mecho mentioned it’s probably a small issue good luck… bob
  2. OK, gotcha thats where you were last I heard bob
  3. Man, you said it he keeps coming up with more and more surprises
  4. Depending on my situations, but I’d like to make it to at least 90 and able to still work outside
  5. nice going larry,,,how is the engine coming along
  6. There’s still a bunch around here working
  7. ok got it,,,,,had to watch it on the desktop,,,,,and yes that was excellent,,,thanks hippy,,,,bob
  8. Yes, I noticed the Ford. Also, I did not see the Chevy, but I wasn’t really looking for it.
  9. Yes, I agree. They still got some pretty cool styling well I talked to a guy driving a dump truck about a year and a half ago and he told me he’s been driving it for about six months and it was nothing wrong with it at all. His company previously was buying all Peterbilt and now they’re going to all western stars on account of the reliability.
  10. Yes, Brocky …. These days I am aware I could fall apart at anytime.im hoping to atleast make 75 before everything starts falling off… im hoping to follow dick vandyke and Clint Eastwood lol bob
  11. Around here, I am hearing the new Western star. Seems to be holding up better than all of them. my old company got rid of all the Volvos because there were nothing but junk now the Kenworth and Peterbilt are the same way mainly factory recalls on both of them.
  12. Oh, I’ve got enough work around here for three people. The Mack is always last.
  13. Also I’m almost 70 as well … I’m certainly on the wrong side of 30 … fortunately I don’t feel anywhere near my age and I don’t know how I got so old this fast lol bob
  14. I was surprised I got my axle seal so easy.. I’ve mentioned before I don’t know why there’s no aftermarket dash parts available for those years since there’s tons of them still working… bob
  15. OK now you gotta think that’s funny touché TJ
  16. Ok thanks for that I was just thinking it must have been short lived because my 87 U model had brown
  17. Well now I can’t even get it to open
  18. OK, thanks for that I’ll give it a shot
  19. Yeah, I’m not sure Mark. It was a brand new R model. At the LA dealer, I don’t remember what year it was but it had the grey interior . I remember thinking I really liked it. As much as a big fan, I was of the dark green they were using 68 to 72
  20. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing taking a closer look at the doorstep and that information sticker but yeah it looks brand new. I remember looking at a brand new or model with that same color interior when it was brand new that was a long long time ago.
  21. wow your truck is gorgeous,,,,or is that a very old photo?????
  22. Well when I bought mine I didn’t even have a place to put it I had to pay to store it then it took another 11 years just to have a permanent place to keep it then another 12 years to put up a shop hopefully your situation will not take that long .. I was starting to think I’d be dead by the time I started doing some serious work on it good luck and yes I’m well aware of your weather…. Bob
  23. And yes I’m sure eBay you would find one good luck but you might wanna wait for dean … bob
