    No. I’m with a company out of WV. But Fenton is dominating up here so I am surrounded by them all night.

    They been around for a while. Got their hands in a little bit of everything. Their yard is right outside of Wysox on Rt 6. Any rumors about it slowing down anytime soon?

    One of these times you gotta stop at binghams off of exit 211. Best pies around here, Obama even made a stop there Lol.

    Do you see any Resource company trucks?

    FLD in her natural habitat!! :thumbup:
    And ya claim ya ain't from north cuba Florida..? hmmm o_O:D

    Little paint, & polish she'll be looking sharp. Oh, & ditch that darn roof faring already Joey, jeez..

    How do ya like the door mount mirrors?, & I'm like'n the foot vent there in the drivers door too. Don't see those much anymore..

    Excellent to see her working. Hated hearing about the engine rebuild going so foul..


    In other po boy truck'n news..

    Jumped off at Wildwood for some go go juice after a nonstop flight from Carbon Hill, AL. Doing my walk around at the fuel island, dang tire is off the bead, right outside axle 5, got 47 grand on deck. :eek:

    Shop has 5-6hrs wait just to look at it:rolleyes:, & by my phone pic he says, "too close to sidewall for a patch", & no 17.5 rubber to be purchased..
    Pulled around to the air hose, & up on a 4×4 timber to get the bum tire off the ground. Somehow got the bead reset, pulled the screw out, & jammed a cheap o china tire plug in the hole. Made the final 104 miles to the home 20, so hopefully we can find a tire here today..

    I love this truck until I hate it lol. Loud as hell but I can work around that. Once I get the lipstick on this pig inside and out it will be better.

    I have rewired half of this trailer I have been pulling. The company that owns it wouldn’t fix it. Told me to go third party. Well that shop is not close. I ain't got time for fooling around. As always, it’s better to handle things yourself. I now carry a full box of lights and harnesses for this thing. It doesn’t use off the shelf stuff. Some piggyback or turtleback line from Grote, which isn’t available anywhere. Found the lights at Fleetpride.

    Oh, trust me. If you saw me there is no way you could think I’m anything but tall white trash LOL. Maybe I identify as North Florida Cuban.

    Yup. I can’t believe Halliburton approved the wiring. The chassis are great. But man the wiring. Never seen anything like it. And the people who butchered the repairs before me need their hands chopped off.
