  1. yes, as a matter of fact I would….. next time you’re in my area give me a shout 😁
  2. Nice truck I agree with Dodgeb4ya about the booster for these trucks being enough but, I did see that https://www.rustyhope.com says they have a disc brake option for the 1-1/2 and 2ton trucks. My B3GA had a funky booster on it and I took the Midland off my B4GA and use it in the B3GA…I have been happy. Either way…. Keep on truckin 😊
  3. I agree with Dave, I made mine out of scrap pipe
  4. the first truck i ever owned (still have) i named "George", my 2ton truck i named "Rob" (after Dodgeb4ya 🙂) I picked up a 1.5ton from a forum member who handle is "Jimbob" (so that's what i call it.) i picked up another 1.5ton from Craig's List for $1.00 so i call it "Buck" lastly Young Ed tried to name my one ton Sprite at 2019 BTT50's weekend but, it really never took so, i just call it "the flatbed" (but, i still have the magnet you made for it Ed 😀) my 94 we call "the Ram" and the 2004 we call it "the 3500"
  5. Haha, yeah i didn’t doubt you forgot…. I believe the phrase is “throw yourself under the truck” 🤠
  6. “fake news” that is my fault John. I think you were caught in the conversation Jim and I were having at the BBQ. Where I was telling Jim I read on the old Rusty Hope website (in April of this year) it was a hobby for him and once they are gone…. no more (Glad Los_control saw the same thing) Sorry you did not check out the website at the time to confirm the “news”😝 The website has since, been updated. So……. it never happened 😀
  7. I spotted this B1FA whilst I was procuring a “new idea” sickle mower this past weekend. the look on Julie’s face (“oh crap”) when she saw me spot it, was priceless 😂
  8. we have to Keep him humble guys Although I have showed this before, I like the custom job he did for me as well Keep up the “ok” work Keven 😂
  9. Bobcat from the 80’s!? now you’re talking, I have a M610 variable speed with the infamous leaking jack shafts 😊 But, it still runs and I use it weekly (without the the mascot on the top) Yeap, I am finding out, equipment and diesel trucks are expensive but, I find sure make things easier.
  10. flat tire on the front or back? front tire..... use the bucket to lift the wheel off the ground, breaker bar, slowly raise the bucket and use the weight of the bobcat to brake them free? 😀
  11. JT was seen roughing it again this year the next day, I spotted some pranksters goofing around his truck. Using his truck as a comparison template 😁 Don’t worry John, I spotted them hightailing it out of there afterwards, 😂
  12. That is a great calf hauler! love the scenery…… cool find
  13. Probably just a limited time but, at the annual BBQ in CA this year a gentleman flipped a tailgate down and set up a quick parts booth and said he had plenty of parts collected over the years (along with 4 trucks) Moderator, this isn’t the correct place for this please move
  14. I am sure you already did Bob but, for others reading this year’s from now, don’t discount the ability of a frozen starter from keeping that motor from turning either. No spiny on the starter, no spiny on the motor either 😁
  15. For sure.. but, it was really Just done to benefit to the fifth gentleman who’s not on the forum and who has the issue. I just thought it was fun 😂
  16. I feel your pain on this Bob! I had the shoes locked to the drums in “Jimbob” my B3GA. what a pain! I used a winch, come-a-long a floor jack to get it on my flatbed trailer. 😵‍💫
  17. Pre BBQ and Merle has already been seen working on someone else’s truck Lol, and we have collectively solved the “ b-series” horn button removal scenario Ggdad1951 (with beer) John T53 (flannel left hand try) Merle (left of 48 dodger holding down the steering wheel)
  18. What?, I thought you liked jumping out of planes. figured you would ask to sit by the “plug “with your pack on 😂 think of this one as a new challenge…..
  19. Man, I wish I was bringing a truck this year! Getting excited for some cool rides, CA sunshine and world problem solving!!
  20. I remember a few years ago Bob, someone was giving me a hard time about having a few trucks….. hmmmm 😂 cool story indeed. (now if you would just make it to the bbq in CA…..) my 53 had that electric starter doohickey on the firewall also but, I switched it and the starter out. This will be fun
  21. Not the same year but, my B3GA has 7.50 up front and 8.25 on the rear and I agree, i think it steers a little easier without a load than my B3HH that has 8.25 all around.
  22. Been nibbling at my “to do list” before retiring…. the hobby is getting sidelined. From what I saw, price wise you had them beat. I kinda hope they expand the odd ball stuff on the big trucks ?
