Endless BS thread

Hey Smalls, they do any of this near you? Looks like a blast...

Don't know of any in my area. Airboat stuff happens but haven't seen any hovercraft events

SnoPro, here's some food for thought, my nephew wanted to build a hotrod a few years ago but has since lost interest. He went to Edmonton to university and left a 1956 International truck cab sitting on my lawn. Would you be interested. I don't know the price yet, but it won't be very high.

Hurricane Helene... mark another place in the lucky column for me! We had high winds all day and some rain but not excessive. I'm praying for all those north of me. Millions without power and high water effects everywhere...

BREAKING: Baseball great Pete Rose has died at the age of 83. Rose holds the major league records for games (3,562), at bats (14,053), hits (4,256), and singles (3,215). Pete Rose earned 17 All-Star Game nods, won three World Series, and was named the 1973 N.L. MVP.

RIP to a legend.

SnoPro, I'm going to 'bump' my '56' International truck cab offer to you. It's $500.
I can't seem to work how to put this in the classified ad section.

1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it.
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers.
10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."
19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb."

Yessir, good one Eman!

I ate half a cheesecake today. I skipped chemo today-I'll go tomorrow. I can't figure out how to get the cab off my 53 truck. Guess I'm renting a forklift for the day. It's suddenly cold in Indiana! But I scored a huge box of Car Kulture Delux and Hot Rod mags for $10 on marketplace today! Wow I sound like the poster child for ADD meds lol!

 

[smallfoot]

Forklift will work but so will a block and tackle if you have a large tree in the yard...

 

[gene49]

A fork truck is probably a lot safer then the way I do it...

 

[smallfoot]

me too i have a big A frame chained to a pine tree with a chain hoist attached. i can lift about 15 feet

 

[gene49]

I use my engine hoist! Things get a bit sketchy as the cab gets higher, in this lower position, everything is pretty stable. The cab tilts towards the hoist, and the back end of the hoist gets pretty light as the cab gets higher in the air. To move the cab, the hoist is as high as it will go. In this picture the cab is about a foot above the frame and the cab is about as level as it gets, but to clear the trans, that passenger side of the cab had to be higher then the motor is in the picture. I move that cab, lifted 2' higher then in the last picture, across my driveway several times. that cab weighs about 600lbs. This time was to see how much needed to be cut out of the cab to fit, it was probably the 2nd time it was lifted over the frame.

In the 1st pic, notice the seam in the driveway under the hoist, the seam in the driveway in front of the cut out firewall laying on the drive is the same seam. I had to lift the cab up high enough I could pull the hoist that was at max height with the cab on it, towards the grass, so I could push the frame into the garage, lower the hoist, turn it 180 degrees in the driveway, cross that center seam, and set it on the jack stands that were in their highest position. Any lower on the stands and I couldn't lift the cab high enough to get it over the frame. This last pic is how much original cab was removed to fit on the frame. I usually do this stupid stuff by myself, I don't want anyone else to get hurt.

Got the body up and rolled the chassis out from under a model a sedan using 2x4s and blocks by myself. Boards crossways and 4 stacks of blocks ( crates or whatever) Went around the stacks lifting the end of the boards one at a time and placing another block in place until it raised high enough.
