Freightrain Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 We have a very famous saying here at work. "I didn't think it'd hold" LMAO!!!A shipping guy at work, 20 yrs ago, sent a salesman off in the company pickup with a part strapped to a skid. Salesman didn't make the onramp and the part fell off skid and slid over to side of truck bed. He came back and shipper said "I didn't think it'd hold"> WTF?? Why did you send it out for?? Oh, the humanity. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Oh, the humanity.reminds me of a long forgotten story-many years ago, another driver at H.H.Moore's ordered one of those above ground swimming pools from Sears and Roebuck. Top of the line unit, for a Sears above ground pool- 4 feet deep, and pretty big. When it came in, him and I went to the Sears place in Appomattox in a company pickup to get it and take it to his house. I was gonna take the pool and him to his house and bring the pickup back to the shop. We loaded it up at Sears, the whole thing was in a giant cardboard box, and I took off and the box landed in the middle of the road- slid right out the back.I don't know who forgot to close the tailgate...backed up to it, reloaded it, and took off again. He didn't have much to say the rest of the trip, but it didn't hurt the pool at all. He was highly pissed off anyway.It took about 10 billion screws to put it all together and I was supposed to help him screw screws the next day, but I didn't.

That body will be swinging sideways & slamming into the sides of the hoist cradle. With a full load on something will be broke in short order. Modify the doghouse so the top hoist pin is higher, or put in a shorter cylinder so the body rests squarely on the frame where it belongs. 1 Quote "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30099-it-might-work/#findComment-166895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a metal shed that came with a big bag'o screws. Man, what a bitch that was.....LOL!! Even worse when we had a big storm and a 12ft tree limb fell 40ft and went through the roof DOH!!Speaking of 10 million screws:There is a redhead talking to a blonde. The redhead says "I just screwed a Brazilian".The blonde says " You whore" with a puzzled look on her face.Then the blonde asks "How many is a Brazilian?" 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
