Gee sounds just like big pharma

Might be the holiday crocks and jammies throwing her off?

Welcome to RP, I like keeping the patina, what classes did you run?

Our biggest city is 120,000 another reason why Montana is perfect

I think the recirculation type on the 14A came off a portion on the head, there were many changes to 14 head designs over the years and that one was a jethead so no guarantee yours is the same. I'll see if I have any pic somewhere. Not the best pic but I remember the top hose running back to the firewall now

I always wondered why Euclid built the TC12 in 1955, it was made to be split in two but I can't imagine that was convenient but there were some trucks back then capable of moving large heavy things, this would have been one of them

Traffic circles were always here in big cities with 2 lanes and the inside lane has ROW so unless your taking your first exit your better off to be on the inside and attentive to the vehicle on the right is going to yield when you hit your exit point, this really confused drivers that never were exposed to them before, the roundabout is a much simpler design that improves flow and reduces speed at unsafe locations

Many boxes now are even smaller, I always say the cabs got bigger and the boxes smaller, a shortbox was 6'6" now they call it standard box, I liked it on my ext cab but as a working truck I value an 8' box, they are a pain to park, stalls have gotten smaller, I walk further than most when I shop

Were those siamese bores?

Usually they need to attach some backing so old t shirts are still a source, that is awesome, really nice thoughtful gift and a checkered flag pattern that integrates with the car theme, well done.

This would be the cheapest option

I have both kinds one on an 18 that is a car type and a recirc type was on the 14 and have on a Massey, works good, a preheat to help the preheat -33 here this morning

They have put in 3 at certain intersections here with 50 miles of me, sped up traffic especially on one highway and most important saved many lives

Bed truck with gin poles, probably did some oilfield work in the past

My buddy went into farming in the mid 80's with record high interest rates and bought a really low mile 86 K10 in 87 with a new bride, I know her grandparents were really concerned about their debt load, the funny part was years later when they died they went through their receipts starting in the 30's, new barn one year, new tractor the next, he finally bought his first new tractor this fall

Mines an 03 crewcab and has the same ailments tailgate supports are ok still though for now, the rockers and cab corners are gone, I was thinking of putting a better regular cab on and building an 11' flatdeck with sides and a dump cylinder There were lots of outfits that converted trucks to flatbeds when new and had lots of new boxes sitting in the yard but that bodystyle is long gone, drive train is still good but gotta think long and hard if it's still worth it Was considering going drw so thx Alan for that pearl

Nice score, that diner looks rustic😊 glad the insurance settlement worked out mostly positive

That's a good buy, I'm sure that would be over $300 at Costco here

Buddies son works up in the tar sands, I think they recently got the first Komatsu PC9000 and have 2 more ordered, new units are years away, apparently a joint venture with Germany

Maybe so but still like the pillows😁

I had the whole set with sockets in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" drive, I only have the 1/2" drive left now and maybe 1 screwdriver although I have an old toolbox in storage that might have some more items, the sockets I have pretty much all but a couple, the wrenches I bought at the same time were all Gray in Canada, I think Grey in the US and still have that full set but rarely use them anymore

I don't think they are, pretty sure mine does have them there My buddy was a mechanic at an auto wrecker and would soak and wash all his tools minimum weekly in the parts washer

I think ebay is the primary source now for repair kits, if lucky nos or else some China may work for certain parts, there's not a lot in there may as well take it apart and see what it looks like, most have lots of dried grease and grime, a few years ago Craftsman would replace but that's not really what your after, if you get it apart count the teeth that will be a start to finding parts
