I'm surprised I don't have crawdad mounds in the yard yet as much water we've had this spring. And there's supposed to be more on the way. I know it's humid and uncomfortable today. The season I dislike the most (hot & muggy summer) is upon us gentlemen.Somehow I'd forgotten some trucks years ago had air powered wipers. I've yet to come across a locomotive that didn't have them...even the really old stuff ('40s & '50s vintage). I've always been told on the locomotives they used air because it's less likely to burn up trying to push snow/ice unlike an electric one. I'm sure there's a better reason, but that works for me. I wonder if that's why they used them on trucks. Or was it along the same reason for air starters...smaller/fewer batteries perhaps? And does anyone still use air starters on trucks? Seems like Roadway was the last company I remember in the western Arkansas part of the world that was still using them.Got one your willing to "donate" to the project? Just because I'm a railroader doesn't mean I'm made of money. I'm married with children...that should explain EVERYTHING when it comes to my cash flow.
Sounds like a very busy weekend indeed! Is the F350 where the 7.3L came from that your going to stuff into your C750? I won't say it was an unproductive weekend for me...just the rain kept me from really doing what I wanted/needed to do. Oh well, who really wants to re-paint the house anyway?

 

Unfortunately (for my wallet) we're on the same financial plan.

 

This F350 and the 76 hi-boy chassis is what I swapped for a '95 E350 chassis with the 7.3/automatic. I didn't want to let my dump bed to get away so I withheld it.
