Instant O/O and Load boards

man......







I'm not often at a loss for words.

 

Go to Lowes, get a roll of aluminum tape, it should be in the paint section or heating section. This tape is real aluminum with sticky on one side, and will not leak or break down in weather. I will stick to anything, and lays flat. Also get a can of white spray paint, an no one will notice the repair until you can get it fixed properly.

If you have to, use a utility knife to trim down the broken edges so the old piece will go back in place before taping.

 

Reading this thread is like watching "The Truman Show". (except Truman had much better luck)

 

The old time trucker walked up to the white truck and asked:

"Hey there young purple hippo lookin feller....why doncha fix that there hole in the roof of yer truck?"

"The young purple hippo lokin trucker looked up at the hole, scratched his head n turned back around and said...."wellll when it's rainin it's too wet to fix...and when it's dry, it's not a problem..".

 

The truest answer right from the farmers bank of experience!

 

When Purple Hippo was first looking at his white truck before buying it, the salesman and Hippo were standing on the drivers side with the door open, looking in.

As they were looking into the truck, Hippo ask what transmission is in the truck. The salesman says it is a 10 speed. They are easy to drive if you know how to double clutch.

Purple Hippo looks back into the truck and tells the salesman, "You ain't fooling me, one of them pedals has to be the brake".

 

Repairs done.. new muffler straps and clamps, tightened the wheel bearing everything looked new there... someone probably didn't seat it properly , oil is changed and cab shock installed.. still need to replace the steer but the shake is much better.
