Well it's official--- :evil: our DB mission is scrubbed for fall. Got the call-out from a guy I promised to work if he got a gig... how's 30 miles NW of Taft grab ya'? Carriso Plain? (sure ruined my Sunday) We'll be setting up rig this Fri/Sat then turning to the right by 10/20... that is the...

Seroiusly though--- glad there were no injuries. (other than pride) But I might also add that carrying boom sections with forks is do-able if you take EXTRA EXTRA good care and don't ding lacing or cord. In Cali here, that will get you not only fired but crane certification will NOT be issued by...

Yikes! As Donald Trump was heard to say: YER' FIE-ARD!

Greasy, is there a GL facility there in Bakersfield area? Thought Barstow was the nearest thing in SoCal, then Nellis, then French Camp... curious?

Welcome to the site--- from the high desert of California! Looks like lots of GL trucks to choose from there in Florida and a good variety at the different bases. BTW; I was raised on the south-side of Tampa Bay; Anna Maria Island, went to school in Bradenton.... and always a warm place in my...

Genuine Detroit or not Detroit? I have wondered about this myself. Have a '77 Chevy C20 w/14bolt corporate and had Detroit Locker installed back in the early 90's. It's basically a solid axle while you accelerate and only unlocks when free wheeling or in a turn. And it does sound-off fairly...

Whoa now--- sounds like they don't sell those at Home Depot! If it's made in the USA, I sure want one!:beer:

Thanks for that explanation Barrman, I think the bad solenoid theory is just one of those 'truths' that seem to be forgotten/over-looked/ignored while we look all over the place for more complicated answers until the simple solution finally smack us up-side the head--- again! Few years back a...

Boy, when it isn't otherwise OBVIOUS--- I really HATE to show my ignorance--- but if you go turbo on 6.2 does that eliminate the IP? From what I've heard the IP is the weak link in using WMO/WVO set up and therefore is not practical...2cents

Saw a guy's M1008 on here not very long ago--- but can't remember what the link was about... try searching the paint & Body section of SS

Welcome from the high desert! Great thing about living in SoCal area is you can spend more time 'wheeling' your MV(s) because the weather is almost always awesome. Anyway, good luck in your search and do contact Hundy (Mark)--- for the MV market--- he's probably one of the most knowledgeable...

Barrman, now you've REALLY got me wondering... you say a new AC Delco solenoid went south in only few months time? What the heck could be the cause? I've always bought AC Delco stuff because over the long-haul it's proven dependable--- at least for me. Have you got any photos showing WHERE the...

Something tells me that those 20 somethings won't be walking around much after they get wind of .... SNAKES~!!!:shock::shock::shock:

Is that an old Navion there next to the deuces? Looks like a old Beech 18 little farther down the line too! :beer:

Yep, I've noticed the snakes do seem to be active lately along with a bunch of other critters here in the high desert. Fall weather is the reason I believe; with the average temps coming down along with earlier sunsets, the wildlife are just preparing for winter really. Spring mating season is...

Good looking line up! Wanted to go this year but something else always creeps up on me... take lots of pictures and have fun![thumbzup]

Lotta' good info here! Not sure it qualifies as repair bit I did the doghead mods first thing because lotta' bad/fatal electrical things can result without. Also, have a REAL good look at all your starter/ignition related wiring and your starter mounting to boot. So many guys here have had...

Hey Boo Boo, I've got sort of a bucket list--- 30 to 50 gallon buckets--- if anyone has 'em or can get 'em, preferably not too rusty or at least clean-able enough for fuel-ish things. BTW; Anybody interested in some Thompson clean-up type accessories? Not sure if I can post them on here so PM...

YIKES---$5K for each jack! (did that include shipping?) Somebody here mentioned Chino: wonder if you could've just rented/borrowed a pair from those guys? Guess you know they are mondo into WWII warbirds down there. Maybe a 3 hour drive from B'fied? Lot of A&P guys are volunteers there and the...

When I go into--- or call--- NAPA I DEMAND that the parts I buy NOT be chinese made. If you ask, they can order some AC-Delco electrical stuff but not everything for our model/year trucks is still available. And yes--- it costs more--- and yes--- it is true that AC Delco makes their stuff...
