Where is everyone #5

Congratulations to you and your bride. Y'all aren't too far behind us.

 

If only I had anything of value, nothing like a sure thing.

 

GM went all out and almost beat the Briggs and Stratton repower Kit that time. Only 4 times the cost. What a bargain !

 

Thanks, now we know why you're exhausted!lol

 

Just think how far the world has come. The owner of my company told me his first construction job in the early 70’s they had a Diamond REO I think. There’s a hill on 270 on the north end, it’s not real bad buts it’s a pull. He said they’d be down under 10 mph pulling it with a small excavator on.

 

Compared to the gasser that’s came out of that truck it was probably a powerhouse.

 

The fella that I went to work for in 1980 had a 1970 Pete with a Freuhauf load over the back lowboy. The Pete had a 5x4, 8v71. Hauling his D7G over Galena Summit was a half day task. Slow going up and even slower going down the other side.

 

February is the perfect time to get out of Idaho for Hawaii.

Congratulations @Oxbow 40 years is something that you can hang your hat on.

 

First job I ever had that required driving was in a boom truck. '71 Ford with a 391 propane engine and a 5+4. Once in a while I'd get a jobsite up in the mountains west of Denver. Riding that slow sure gave the opportunity to admire the scenery.

 

Thanks Sawmill.

We have never done anything like this and are looking forward to it!
