    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

  2. I feel like I remember the truck side of this forum came along after the car side. I don’t remember how but, I purchased a part for my b3b from our host, (back when he had his “merc583” email address) at the time, seems like the truck side was being considered?

     

    I joined and never contributed, then forgot my password and just stalked. Finally joined again when I was Financial able to work on my truck. 

     

    I have had my truck for over 40 years now and this site has helped me feel not alone with my old Dodge and introduced me to some great friends! 

    THANK YOU!!!

     

    On the flip side this site has encouraged me to buy more trucks! And for that, Julie might have a different option of the site (but not the people) ?


     

    Keep on truckin!

    Haven’t bought the kits from Mikes. They said there are two if it’s a complete rebuild. So they are ready to go but I wanted to find a place to rebuild them first in case they had a preference. I found a place in Hillsboro Oregon, Gene’s carb and Electric. They seem up for it and will let me know early this week. 

    Great, hope it works out with Gene’s for you. 

  4. Not sure this qualifies for a vintage photo but, a local to me garbage company, has their first garbage truck on their website top front “page”

    when I first saw it, I was so happy, I called the company and talked to the “head mechanic”. Asked if there were more photos….. he said no. 
    it was kinda cute when he tried to tell me what year he thought it was (46) and how big the truck was (a three ton) 

     

    yes, I told him I was pretty sure it was a 48-50 and a 1.5ton ?

    After spending over 3 weeks near Milwaukee helping the mother in law I drove home alone westward taking I-80 dn to I-70 and then dropping to I-25 home to near Albuquerque. Highlights were passing the many John Deere dealerships in small towns where I bought a tube of corn head grease. Also at the beginning of the trip a sighting of an early pilot house in Santa Rosa, NM in a field.  Just leaving Limon, Colorado going to Colorado Springs heading hm on Hwy 24 a really nice ‘41 Ford pu was heading east bound and what followed it ?  A lowered custom early pilot house with a loud hemi still in its rust red primer.  I could hear it passing me. Man it was hot in Kansas 2 days ago. The temp sensor in the car read up to 98.  Last week of September?!?  Man. I’m typing this all out of order but I guess I’m tired from that trip.  Too good to not report.  I also enjoyed seeing the fall colors starting up north and all the combines working the fields.  Never saw so many. Great stuff 

    Lol, just missed you… we flew into Denver on 9-28, rented a car, bee bopped around Co Springs, Divide, drove up Pikes Peak, royal gorge bridge (all that tourist stuff ?) I saw a lot of old cars and trucks on the road as well. Road trip back home to Oregon in the rental car….. 

    Laramie Wyoming last night
