    One of the 1st things I would do is get rid of the "low flow" on the Cummins. I guess it would be a decent classic :rolleyes::D.

    For the guys that wash their own equipment what kind of pressure Washers are you using? I’m thinking about building me a trailer “5x12” hot water mounted unit with say a 200 gallon tank on it. Instead of paying blue beacon for washes.

    Just an opinion but a 450/550 isn't near enough truck for that bed and crane. You can put it on an old day cab with a farm plate and be much happier. Eventually I'm putting mine on a red and gray 84 359 standard hood with a 3406B (only a 310) with a 9 speed. 4500.00 is what I got in the 359

    That black Pete is pretty good lookin. It'd look better if Inwss the owner lol.

    My week from hell continues. I dropped my lumber, went and got 6 new racheting binders and headed to Baytown to load some reels with a whole bunch of flexible steel tubing/pipe. Conveniently my boss decided to surprise me with an email containing a OS/OW permit (my 1st) because these reels on my drop deck are right aroun 14'10 maybe 14'11 tall. With Houston traffic, it took me for ##### ever to get to the pick up location. But I got loaded and told my route would be 610 S loop around Houston, to Hwy 90 and go west all the way out to Sealy. Being that I lived out west of Houston for 3hrs I knew my way around pretty good. But I missed my turn and ended up #### near bumping a 14'1 train bridge. Took 3 police officers to hold traffic so I could back up and turn around. Shut down in Sealy for the night only to be woke up by some yankee ahole Walmart manager tellimg me to leave. Yea we had some words.

    Then I got to replace the tire I had just replaced because the tread separated on me. So sat at Loves in Weimar for a few hrs. Then one more bad routing put me staring at a 14'1 bridge in Flatonia. Got back to 10 and rolled until I hit Ft Stockton.

    And here I sit.
