Yes, I was around them all of my life until 24 when I moved out here they are still my favorite. Thanks for that. Excellent

That’s kind of weird do you haven’t got an answer yet maybe you want to PM Barry. He could probably tell you. I certainly can’t help you much way out here. Don’t have a clue personally I guess it’s a matter of monkey see monkey do these days OK? Well everybody’s using buds now I might as well order them …

Sometimes you need to drive long ways to see a Mack truck

Tom, I just wish I had a phone but had voice text that actually worked -

Me too there’s certainly some breathtaking structures over there. I’ve only been to Canada and Mexico briefly that’s been years and yes, thank you so much vlad for sharing all that and taking the time to put it together -

Must’ve missed something didn’t catch the trooper story that sucks. I think we just lost a couple of highway patrolman here recently seems ever since black lives. Matters came about law enforcement has lost considerable respect from lots of people just more baloney and a country headed for a hell. Pretty cool to have the copter flyover thanks for that.. bob -
And yes, they even look good. If you have all brand new Lugnuts and keepers or at least had brush them with the gray paint.

I was considering chroming my hubcaps like Matt did, but I’m probably gonna paint them gray along with the rims I was fixing on doing the spokes green, but up in the air with that also, I might paint the spokes, black and the rims gray not sure what I’m going to do yet since that’s the way most factory trucks came back in those days

Ha ha Amazon it’s amazing what they carry or what they can get. I even went on there and found various shapes and sizes and colors for toggle switch extensions.

Well, I hate to say this Paul, but I really think he moved onto greener pastures married that chick from Israel and I think something happened to him over there since the country is always fighting with somebody bob
-
Excellent thanks for that. I haven’t decided what I’m gonna do yet since I’m not a big fan of chrome depending on what it is, I might just paint everything including the mirrors and brackets as I mentioned the stock Mack hubcaps are probably out of the question. It’s nice to know I could use them if I wanted to and 10 four on the air start and spokes excellent combination

Man my wife did Reno Tahoe oddisy relay race this weekend she comes back exhausted cranky and dirty I had to pick her up at the airport yesterday and I tried my best to be civil all I heard was raw raw raw all she did was bitch at me about everything finally after 10 minutes of biting my lips wound up in a screaming match did the best I could to avoid conflict couldn’t take her any longer got into a screaming match anyway trying to avoid it as hard as I could… totally blew a fuse anyway… she always comes back with the same pissy attitude… bob -
Well, I pull loaded down triple trailers across 80 top out at 66 miles an hour I would be pissing myself to be able to pass anybody flat ground or hill… my personal opinion on jacking up your engine is like mentioned very old and hard to get parts for I wouldn’t do it, but each his own If you really need more power, I would go for a 600cummins Bob
-
Could actually pick up a couple about 200 miles from there I’m sure it’s a lot more than bolting them on that would make it too easy … bob
-
Chevy41 was going to help me get a couple of hubs that hold the hubcaps shipped out here… but he disappeared shortly after bob

They probably can’t find the right clips. The back is easy. I’m thinking of putting them on my truck. Just have to make up my own clips Just a thought I don’t know about actually do it
