  1. Those colors really look good on that truck makes me think of a tasty dessert at the soda fountain . We don’t have too many of those anymore. It’s no wonder you’re hired hand always looks happy around it… bob
  2. That’s interesting. I thought all the 400 series were gas jobs…. Bob
  3. You bet….. good luck bud just retired 3 weeks ago pretty much on here all day now … bob
  4. I’m thinking it’s probably that shifter with the chrome round dome with a three speed switch and yes, it does look like a Scandia. I didn’t think they were using them in those years either, but I have seen them and R models.
  5. Hell, I was just flipping around Google search I can’t find anything that even looks close
  6. I think that’s pretty much a universal switch and watts has a lot of them worth a try
  7. Excellent thanks for that Again, your truck looks amazing
  8. Oh, by the way, since we’re on the subject I’ve also had two beetles and one bus. Yes, I have had a lot of cars in my day.
  9. Ha ha yes it would be a lot more than that now I also had a 57 back at 1973 but it was a four-door sedan. I sold it and bought a 62 Impala.
  10. Tom, I think we’ve all done stuff like that before one to one match is pretty hard to come up with
  11. OK, that’s funny Dave. I did not even notice the hole in the fender. That’s just what it looks like.
  12. Excellent 40 years ago they were a lot cheaper I got my 55 for 100 bucks back in 75 but it wasn’t much more than a rolling shell had to put a lotta time and parts on it
  13. it should look something like this
  14. Looks excellent Tom and yes that’s what they used to tell us in the 70s was to hook it to the battery. I don’t know what’s up with that but I think it was cut cut out all the engine noise frankly I never liked the idea anyway especially on a company truck. But it’s probably a good idea.
  15. Yes, mine are all junk. Two of them are shredding rubber and flat. I’m going to have to do something soon. I’ve got to at least takeoff the two shredded and swap some things around for now. I am also on a budget now I am retired and trying to cut a few corners around here, I was going to go for the double coins 175 a piece I can’t even find those now Hobby trucks nobody really wants to go full on with prices
  16. Just checked it said I only got 8% of storage. Looks like I got a while before I max out.bob
  17. I just bought one of those single air horns from watts don’t know if you need one it came with all the accessories to install it I it wasn’t that expensive either
  18. Thanks for that have a ball bud….and yes I’m hoping to drive mine out of my yard atleast once before I croak ….. great progress… bob
  19. Hell I’ve never even checked my storage
  20. Excellent thanks for letting us know …. No suggestions for the last maneuver sorry great find
  21. We have a lot of them here Nevada road maintenance trucks. They all look like New because they don’t go out very often or very far.
  22. Pretty much the same way at our shop they have to be on the computer 15 minutes before they can change a tire What a country
