    There is one that looks to be on a power wagon chassis.
    If I ever have a bunch of time, I want to restore a power wagon. They are just cool.

    Edit: top pic. Looks like maybe a support truck.

    No shame in nosing in to save the mule.






    So had another dash issue. This time the odometer, trip, and temperature displays died and it set its self to metric. Mechanic thinks its the cab controller failing. Which would explain the sporadicness of it and the dash not dimming but now it does. Dash only displays what the controller says to display, could be why fuel gauges sometimes flat line, and I have a persistent abs light on but no code when scanned. Going to replace it when I get home and see what happens.

    Yes Sir, it’s a service truck. It was being used still in 1977 I know. I rode in it in the earlier 70’s. They eventually traded it to some guy that wanted $300 to paint a drill….

    I hate nosing in. Because inevitably a bunch of door swinger asshats will park 10 trucks past the last actual parking spot. Which means I have to try and dodge them in the morning. Because inevitably, they won't be up when I want to leave.


    Alright, what's a cab controller?

    Yeah, I have the CPAP machine, too. One of the reasons I hung around the house the last 4 years. Get that done, see how it went. Come to find out, my Neurologist thought I was on a BiPAP, because he said that's what I should have been on, because the constant air causes the higher incidence during the night for me, but I told him, it's okay I'm using older supplies that leak around my mask and my pressure number sucks, but my incident number is down, since I don't need help exhaling. :)

    Yeah I remember when u got that dang thing. I've gotten lucky, all the ones I've hit have gone under the trailer. As long as u run Hwy 200 in the daytime it shouldn't be much problem... is it snowing up there or is the weather ok?
