is the LOVE BOAT allowed here?

[billy]

Looks like a bucket of caramel

my wife just said
or baby crap

 

[Old Iron]

Yea that too!!!!!!!!

 

[Bamamav]

I was thinking it had froze up. At least it didn't bust the case. Looks like a caramel milk shake. Some 90W with some Lucas will do the trick on lubing it.
What size wheels are those Billy? Hard to tell from the pic, but I'm thinking 16.5" or 20"? Might be hard to find any with that lug pattern.
Heck, it's as much a rat as my Lincoln is. Little rust here and there. I like it, even though I would have bought the pickup instead if it had of been me. Different for sure!

Silly question!

She looks real good billy glad to hear the tranny is okay.

 

[billy]

the hard work (for me) already got done
i hate wiring
wiring the engine and lights with new stuff was a nice plus.
i will rewire the blackout lights and fan etc sometime in the future

 

[billy]

eventually i will start repacking bearings
replacing seals and all the other tedious stuff that goes along with these old rigs.
i did the same thing with a 63 willys jeep but at least this one was driven once a year

You lead a charmed life. Glad the tranny is fine.

I am mad at all the drunks in the world for making everything closed today.

Wow. Must be some serious drunks as I live in the middle of nowhere and as I just came back from town and saw that everything was opened.
Love the truck. We see lots of old military trucks around here as we used to have a very active army camp near by. Also the local potato farm use all old Army trucks to haul their harvest every fall.

OK, wheels might be hard to find, but tires should at least be easy. What is it rated, 1 ton or better?

And are the parts stores not open on Saturdays there? My local store closes at 12 on Sat, but in the next town O'reilly's and Advance are open to 9 pm, 7 days a week.

 

[billy]

The transmission shop it's at and the place I rent trailer to haul it home are both closed till Monday

 

[billy]

I don't need replacement wheels
I am going to buy three more tires just like the ones on the rear axle
Power king super traction
They look good and they are kick butt period correct tires

 

[billy]

The heater manufacturer I want to buy from is closed
So is the company I want to buy tires from online

 

[billy]

It's not this town
It's the U.S. That is closed due to hangovers

 

[billy]

Government offices, organizations, schools and many businesses are closed in the USA on New Year's Day. Public transit systems do not run on their regular schedules. Where large public celebrations have been held, traffic may be disrupted by the clean-up operation. In general, public life is completely closed down.

i got my fingers crossed on that one
