I am glad I am not a truck driver. I would have carpel tunnel or something. LOL

depends what type you do!!

highway not a ton of shifting usually... hauling sand and gravel like my dads truck pictured above in the city will give ya a work out.

 

Yeah, I imagine city driving would be a real pain. Especially during rush hour traffic.

hiya folks!

I just bought a 1977 F250 4x4 6.6/400 ci PS no/AC Auto with STAKEBED, off of Craigslist last night. I drove to OC and paid for it last night, and will be picking it up and bringing it home Saturday. The power steering is hard, front drive shaft is missing, brakes are crap, idle is irradic, etc., etc., etc. It is perfect.


I will post pics in the 73-79 forum at some point.

thanks for reading

 

Sounds like a perfect project truck!

It's a zoo at my house this week and I'm loving it. Final week before school starts.

 

My ambulance has I've of the touch button automatic selectors. I personally think the Allison in it is woefully inadequate, gearing wise.

 

Most of the kids around here have been in school since the 12th. he local high school and elementary schools started on the 17th. Strange how schools in the same district have different start dates.

Just keep on truckin' Trey.




I admit being behind the times, but back in the day, we did vines with a camera. Same clowns, different circus.


I recall my dad calling these 'shenanigans', they were passed down via the tall tail..

Anyway, good to see the tradition carried on in a new media. Gotta love those humans.

 

I visited CarKnee many times for work when we lived in IL. Sure had a lotta rail traffic, waiting for trains in that town was a daily treat.

 

However, most-all of them trains were just passing through on their way to somewhere else.

That Platte River Valley route is a main line.

Just listed the attached on EBay. Don't know what they're worth. If they don't sell, does anyone want them?

 

I've got a bunch of old tubes, too.

Probably oughta' stick 'em on eBay, as well.

I used to have a tube checker around here someplace..............

I've seen your garage. You've got a few things you might want to put on Ebay.

 

always nice when you can do an oil, change your rear main seal and pan gasket without using a jack...
