JTFormula Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This was my day. The dually was down, it just didn't want to fire this morning, just cranked even with a little squirt of starting juice. I had to use the shops 2500 Avalanche with the 8.1L gas. I wish we had this motor in a dually, pulls like a SOB but the wheel base sucks. 1930 Model A Street Rod and 2004 Indy SSR festival truck that was at Indy for the race and drove one of the race drivers around the track.

Back In Black Pulling Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Back in black is that as fun to do as it looks? Because it looks like it would be a blast!!Can be a little nerve racking especially when the house aside it is only 20 ft away.Had to put 60 ft JLG lift against that side of the attic so it wouldn't go before i was ready to pull it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed a tail light on the mower trailer. & my buddy welded some new weed eater racks on . Another Slow day but @ least I got a few hours in . 1 Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.

Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted November 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2013 This is what I did today. Took the boy with me. RobI spent many weekends and lots of summers riding shotgun with my father in the right-hand seat of his two F-Model tractors. I saw so much of this country by the time I was 10 years old. I wouldn't change any of it for anything!!!!To this day- the sound of a Robert Bosch injected mechanical Mack engine at idle.....Or the whine of the turbo on the same mechanical Mack engine just makes me smile and sends me back to the age of 8. 3 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Dog on it, got up this morning and can't find my Mack cap. Go no where without it with me. Going to need it cause the girl barber got happy with my hair yesterday. She had a boy haircut and I guess she likes real short hair. Great Cuts won't let the same person cut your hair, each visit. These places are getting rich charging $12 up to $22 bucks for a cut. I've been in the wrong business.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually go to Best Cuts (barbers stylists are all fat, tattooed, and ugly). I should get at least 33% discount considering.....

He likes going with me for an hour or two. That's about his limit. The job was by the load so there wasn't much time for anything. He likes being in my own trucks better. It was good though.

1958 F.W.D. Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 He likes going with me for an hour or two. That's about his limit. I was making TN/AL/MS/LA/AR runs by the summer of my 8th bday. First "long" run was TX/AZ summer of my 10th bday. Soon after my 11th bday Dad came in off the road permanently and set up the beginning of JEVIC's first "safety department." Did my first West Coast run in a conventional Freightliner with the set-back steer axle (yeah yeah I know I know....but look on the bright side, at least it had a 3406B set at 450 through a 13 speed RR) the summer of my 15th bday with my Uncle. Made a second west coast run the next summer in a T800 KW (same power train) and got taught how to drive (whether I liked it or not) on 80 west bound about 30 miles out of Des Moines.

slpwlker Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 This is what I did today. Took the boy with me. RobMan I spent many weekends and summers and any other time I could go with my dad Riding in the B,DM,R Crane Carrier,Autocar, and cornbinder. think the Cornbinder is the first truck I drove although on site. He was a nervouse wreck when I backed in next to another guy as he was loading and I had never done that before. at something like 8 or 9 years old might of been younger. If I wasn't riding in the trucks I was on the equipment, If not on was operating them. I wouldn't change it for the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 My youngest boy can sleep in the B with a straight pipe and bobble his head like a dog in the back window of your grandmas car Sounds like me!I once slept on the floor of a Ford L9000 w/a 318 Detroit (ex-Roadway). I was in a fetal position with my head against the passenger side firewall and my feet getting knocked around by the shift lever. Good thing the passenger seat was portable (milk crate, I think) or it might have been uncomfortable. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
