After boot we were allowed to use whatever we wanted as long as they were Olive Drab color. Of course for locker inspections you used the stupid "green wool socks" issued to you. Along with your polished boots that never got used except for inspections !

I used Thorlos in the Marines also ! Great socks. Especially on those lovely 20 mile nature walks the Marines so love !

Totally agree ! I could use that to move around the heavy engine blocks and transmissions and transfer-cases around here. As it is I have to get my son and the heavy duty hand-truck for the transmissions and transfer-cases. The engines need the neighbors tractor . He can only help on certain...

I've been meaning to do that to my truck. What size pipe did you use ? Also where did you attach the "stay" lines too ? The back of the bed ? A few more pictures of your front hoist system would be nice and appreciated ! Thanks.

Looks like you have a nice collection of sockets there Frank.

Instead of "Pirates" I would have dressed them in "fatigues" and dummy rifles. That would have sent a few chills down some peoples backs !

Well you did your good deed for the year early ! I bet he was happy to see you too !

I'm always for radiator protection ! Good looking protector !

I like your fire extinguisher on the front fender. I think I will do that with mine. Easy access if you ever develop an engine fire. Just have to secure it from sneaky hands !

[/COLOR] Well at least you drained your batteries for a good cause !

You get good stories when you do a lot of stupid things in your life and have friends who are just as crazy as you ! rofl

I'm very aware of the dangers in driving 2 wheel vehicles ! My father owned an "Indian Chief" after the war and would drive up to visit his sweetheart ( my mother) . He drove over a steel bridge with that funny metal grating in a rain storm and lost total control of the bike. Thankfully he...

I really wanted a ROKON back in the late 1960's. Then a few years ago I looked them up on the internet and low and behold they are still produced ! Now I'm too old and damaged to drive one !

That is so true ! My old friend from my machine shop days had just bought a new Chevy 4X4 with stock tires on it. He tried to drive across his yard because his wife had blocked him in. The grass was wet and he just sat there spinning his tires ! One front tire and one rear tire spinning away ...

My wife is always saying I don't act my age ! Most of the time it's not a compliment either :shock: ! I just don't want to end-up being that "old grouch" on the street all the kids talk about. Then again I might be to late !

OK now your just making me feel old ! Conan comics came out when I was in my 30's ! or was that my 40's ? Remember I'm old !

Oh My Goodness ! an original Frank Frazzetta ! I also have several books of his art ! Are you a collector too Ahab ?

That's great ! You don't even realize how you hit it on the head with that picture of "Conan" ! I collect books and have all of Robert E. Howards books. Which include the "Conan" series ! Almost all are in the original "Lancer" editions. I know, my "Geek" is showing !

Probably metric from some "furr-en-our" car. Don't worry about me busting your chops about driving Fords. I actually own and have owned almost every major manufactures vehicle at one time. I still have a Ford Crown Vickey, two Chevy's, a Subaru, several International Harvesters, a Honda...

I'd make a joke about FORDs on the side of the road, but I won't ;) .
