Yes, "Sisters" has a nice ring to it, for sure:
- But how about "Eenie, Meenie, Miney"
And then get your self a wrecker to call "Mo"!?

Cleaned up the last Kansas Overhauled truck I have in stock. "The Kansas City Sisters" has a nice ring to it don't you think?
Nice call, Rocky, but that sounds an awful lot like THE THREE STOOGES.
My mind flashed to the Andrews Sisters of WWII....

Confused as to why you had a steer axle in the rear. Is your truck bobbed? Was it four wheel steering?

it started life as an m52a2. i swapped the rear tandems for the front axle and springs off of an M54a2. i did in fact put rear steer on it but i didn't like it, so i changed the steer axle out for one of the original solid axles.
its not technically bobbed since the frame wasn't shortened. i actually lengthened the frame by putting the extensions and winch up front.

Picked up a load of scrap wood from the (hardwood) sawmill today and swung by the heavy truck tire shop, that I am on good terms with, to get my slow leak plugged and hopefully converted to a "no leak". They plugged it nicely for a mere $10. No more CTIS attitude on startups anymore (hopefully).

As my bed is off and the weather was nice, I painted my bed and the back of my cab. Things are starting to move forward finally. Still waiting on my driveshaft- what was supposed to be a no problem it will be done in 3 days, has turned into a week and a day. No biggie, I have plenty of other stuff to do. Two weeks and counting--- winter rally right around the corner!

2 new batteries and new o-ring in the shutterstat of our 936. It starts right up now and builds air much faster now.

Went for a ride during a lull in the blizzard. She ran real well, after a couple of hours on the block heater! Came across this Toyota in a snow bank right near home. Hooked up a tow strap and pulled it out with no throttle and no damage. Those kids were very happy we came by.

I went down to Tennessee yesterday and picked up a still in the crate complete cargo cover for my truck. Bad thing is it has been snowing. I so wanted to put it on today.
