Where is everyone #5

Thank you, but I'm not. If I don't do something now, I'll never have anything do to her excessive over spending. In the long, it looks like I can work less and spend more quality time with my daughter. This will be for the better. She got lazy, which I can't stand. Then she helped her self to 9k that belongs to my business and dipped with my daughter.

Its now business negotiations between me and her. The personal stuff is irrelevant. When your done, your done.

 

Sorry to hear she did you dirty like that.

Sounds like you've got a plan and you seem the type to not let something like this stand in your way of succeeding.

 

Now let me be clear, I dropped a pic of a Sterling in my shop with a Pete bunk, double framed hot shot, C12 Cat and 20k steer axle and I recived no questions?

Mind you I have no financial intrest in this. Just a job. It was factory 6 axle dump daycab. Some moron cut down to build a camper toter. Its still double framed, has a 20k steer. Just put 11r22.5 on and took off 425's. C12 and 8ll. I have not check rear diff tag, but it a extremely large Rockwell. No locker. And the wiring is all done by Steve Wonder. They added the pete bunk by chopping cab up with a dull chisel and put Pete bunk on a ridged steel frame. Lag bolting cab to bunk. Then spray foamed in between eachother before paint job, or spackle. This is the short, short list. I was hoping you guys picked up on more from the abortion of a picture?

Your letting me down folks.

 

I wasn't sure if it was a Ford or Sterling and didn't want to look stupid in front of the class

 

Sterling are fords, still had ford part numbers even when FL bought them.

This is the biggest pile I have worked on in sometime. Why most farmers should not own tools anymore.

But a friend in need, should have taken me to look at it before buying it. I agreed to make it mechanically sound. Then, I'm out.

Just figure you folks would get a kick out of this. He bought it. Idk the guy who built it. But he needs all his tools sold at auction. I bet a guy is still telling the story about this build to friends and how great it was.

 

True. Used to be the Aeromax?

I was thinking like newer F-750 or something when I first saw the picture.

 

Sounds familiar. My first wife spent more on horses than I was making. Through divorce I found we owed money that I had no idea about.

 

All I could tell from the pictures is was something I would not be interested in owning.

 

I picked up that it was a Sterling from the pic, and that things looked a bit jerry rigged. First thought was feeling sorry for whomever decided to buy that monstrosity and then have any kind of money put into polishing that turd.

In the very limited experience I had with a Sterling both having to drive it on occasion, and work on it on occasion I hated everything about it. The ride was terrible. It was no surprise the dashboard and anything else plastic on the interior was cracked and falling apart. Driving it bobtail was a real "treat". Basically it had a lot of the "Charm" of old school rigs without any of the robustness to make up for it. Piece of garbage.

 

I think this is a project for @jamespmack. Based on his current project this would fit right in for his talents.
