Building A New to Me Pete

You really grooving on that old iron ain't yuh? That definitely is a nice truck. I followed the original thread in it and looks like she's doing you a good job there Rank!
Twin Stick how's your lil project coming?

 

She doesn't miss a beat. I've had an entire summer without a CEL, or an ABS fault, or a failed EGR cooler, or a failed VVA sensor, or a new doser valve, or a regen.

But the lack of air under the cab is taking a toll on the herniated disks in my lower back.

 

Yeah I hear that on no new age problems. I drove an 86 359 for a coupla months back in 97. Loved that old truck even though it would drown you when it rained. Sleeper leaked something awful. I have an 07 right now but who knows what I will do down the road.
Hope you get the yields you need there Twin Stick!

 

That's great. I remember back when I was a kid 250 was ####### almost unheard of. People would come and take pictures. Rode by Bunge in Decatur, AL yesterday late afternoon and saw a long line of trucks. Made me miss pulling a hopper. Went back by about an hour later and the line was cleared up mostly. See a line like that pulling a reefer or a van and it'll have you feeling like you'd just as soon to jump off a cliff as to be cued up for the next 12-24 hours twiddling your thumbs lol.

 

Good luck with the corn Twin Stick. I hope you managed to price a good chunk of it before the crash.

 

Now you got me thinking... I was looking for a 6nz motored hood. Now I'm thinking b model would be sweet. I think I could actually work on one.

Wore out where do you call home I live by Springfield sale barn. I'd like to look at your truck and talk a bit.

 

I call sleepy little village called Elgin home. It's between Newport and Batesville Ar. I run to the Butterball mill at Green Forest and the sale barn both. I don't get to Springfield barn much but do the West Plains barn or used to. I'm about dedicated to a hopper any more. She is nothing special but I will sure let you look her over lol.
