    What made this movie cool, for me anyway, were all of the big name, and not so big, actors including 2 of his sons and of course Maureen O'Hara plus it was a great story and plot.

    Good call. Wouldn't want to get it dirty.
    I'm gonna have to make a note: No Speedo on ice cream night. ;)

    I’ve never worked on an aluminum one either. I have had a lot of Holland’s and Fontaine personally they are both good fifth wheels. I’ve worked on a few Jost, but never owned one. When I worked at southeastern we rebuilt fifth wheels all the time. We never put new ones on. That has carried over into my personal trucks as well.

    Likely story. This should have been an underhand pitch for you compared to you calling that reworked g model from way back.
    Seriously though, it must be the computer when I scanned the pic.

    After 2003 or so Penske has a major account near here. They had gotten new IH's with the Fontaine no slacks. For six months almost every night had one latch and not unhook. Pull the pins, drive the truck away. Torch it till it came off. Hook up the next truck and go. Send that truck with parts to there company shop. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Fw35 Holland is to me a flawless old design, but you can buy a new one for 200 buck more than rebuild if you shop around. One to watch is after a million miles of its still level and never wrecked. On the other hand I would have no issue rebuilding your own that you know its history. So neither is wrong.

    Haha, Been looking for a long time for a LJ, one just popped up less than 50 miles away. Its so bad Idk if you would have a truck once you tried to load it. That LTL like @Ruthless posted earlier stole my heart too.
