abe if you go find any of the build threads on his beasty , it has a merc diesel in it , a 5 cylinder isn't it mech ??????

 

Yep, 5 cylinder turbo diesel

Yep, it's a Mercedes emblem because it is Mercedes diesel powered.

 

Jeff,
Did your truck ever make it into the magazine? If so, which one, which issue... I'm still gonna get you to autograph it for me some day...
Blessings,

 

I think we're all nuts for not going down there with you! Heck, I think 1 day this year it's been above 60F, and not cloudy, windy, raining, or snowing.

 

Steve, it should be in the event coverage of the True Blue Trucks Fall Festival. Not sure when the article will come out, maybe next issue.

 

scott i'll trade ya a couple of your days for ours . it was 90 yesterday , sposed to be that today or close to it and so forth for the rest of the week . the dain hunidity from all the freakin' water is melting my svelte girlish figure away !!! i may have to start drinking beer again to regain it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 cyl german diesel is so much better than the usual belly button bowtie .. refreshing to see an oddball like that or something other than the bowt!@'s in 'em !!

 

Same here, and more for the rest of the summer If it weren't for the salt and sand, the sea breeze at the beach is really nice

 

Even with the record high temps in OK, I am glad you are getting out with your truck and camper and enjoying them.

Did you save the ac unit from the Benz to put in your truck too?

 

Nope, but I have all of the Vintage Air components sitting on the shelf to install soon Just finding the time.....

 

Ah yes, the age old conundrum. Time, Money and Energy. Pick any two.
