umodelnut Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wwell, Papa showed me the fuel tank straps that Doug Fetterly made us. If you need any get in contact with him. He does good. Whyile we were eating super, the UPS guy came with the fuel tank rubber. The cabs also all bolted down and sturdy, and I dont know if you can see but theres some deer that were out back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul roncetti Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well said Mike and F.W.D. In the news we only seem to hear so much about bad kids and so on, its very encouraging to know we have Vinny and Ben and more than likely a lot more like them but never hear much about them...........Paul Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The other thing Vinny, when some of us say remarks that you perceive as teasing, don't pay attention to it, I'm sure you know we don't mean it........Paul 1 Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB DINGSDALE Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 that spray can called PB is it penatrating oil and if so is it any good. I haven't seen it here in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 that spray can called PB is it penatrating oil and if so is it any good. I haven't seen it here in Canada.PB Blaster- best penetrating oil ever made in my opinion,it really works. I keep a can or 2 in the truck all the time. I spray my strap winches with it periodically too. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 yup PB blaster really works unlike WD40 thats basically just kerosene and a lubricant. i have sprayed some exhaust manifold bolts with it and left them overnight and they were loose.

Brian Blaylock Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hey Vinny the truck really looks great and the pictures are really good too but you really should have someone else take some of your and your papa together both beside it and at work because they will remind you of the special times you two are having together for many years too come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
