I run to the Mansfield, LA area on a regular basis, if this trailer is road ready (or there is a way to load it onto a trailer) and can get somewhere near there; I could probably relay it to Bryan, TX and/or possibly to Houston for a small fee for the out of route miles...

Wow, Drove right past that place today and didn't even notice! I was even in Sinton for a couple of hours today before heading back home! I guess I really need to pay more attention to lots on the side of the highway!

Checking in... Howdy folks! It has been quite a while since I've been here. I saw Eric's thread and figured it would be a good place to say hi! I am glad to see that Eric has become a member here and is able to assist you all! He is definitely one of the 'good guys'! Eric, You shoulda...

Remember, Slow and steady wins the race! Be careful out there! Laterz, Gator >|--|~

RE: Deuce stuck I am certainly no expert, but i remember reading/hearing that if you don't always go to first gear after reverse then your front axle will still be in reverse... I know that this only pertains to certain axles (Sprag?) but would cause the problems that you were experiencing...

My ramps are 8' long (36" high trailer deck) and made from 'C' channel and angle iron. Sometimes I wish I had a longer set so that loading/unloading of low ground clearance vehicles would be a little easier, but the ones I have are heavy enough! As far as UHaul ramps are concerned, I would not...

Ahh, its nothing... just a flesh wound...

Actually, on the old Ford and on most of the "Propane injection kits" that are commercially available now the propane is NOT a "nitrous shot" It is constantly fed and on the better systems the flow is controlled by the throttle position to keep you 'mix' consistent so that you have even power...

Years ago I remember having propane injection on our old Ford ranch truck. The power increase was great (you definitely knew when you ran out of propane) and it seem like that truck would go forever on a tank of diesel and propane. Now as an independent truck driver I considered doing this to...

If you haven't done so already, you might want to check out www.yesterdaystractor.com It is kinda like this site, but for old tractors. Laterz, Gator >|~~|~

Friendly reminder... BTT

I just checked this guys info on www.safersys.org/companysnapshot.aspx and it does not look good! Personally I would shy away from him. Lane, I just sent you an e-mail with more detailed info. Call me if you have any questions. Laterz, Gator >|--|~

Actually it sounds like you are getting a fairly good deal at $1/mile By the time that you figure fuel, maintenance, and INSURANCE... It costs most of us that much before we even pay the driver! My guess is that he is breaking even on you and hoping to get a small car or something going the...

You might check with Tony Talarico (518) 532-0009. He lives in Florida and runs the East coast doing enclosed car transport. He may not be able to do it himself as I'm not sure if the 1008 will fit IN his trailer, but he is likely to know who would be best to contact. If that doesn't work out...

Glad to hear that everything went well! I was under the fire truck yesterday when you called finally getting that restore project off the ground! I will email you the pictures that I have today so that you have them. Sorry that it is taking me so long. I need to get back on the other...

I was thinking that possible removing the filter housing and pressurizing the fuel tank might work... it could potentially clean out the lines and get fuel to the filter and once there maybe it would continue to draw... The only reason that I mentioned that petcock is that it was a good place...

Kwai was headed out on a business trip, and that is why I decided to start the thread since I knew that it would be a little while before he really had the time to get back in here and do this himself. I know that he is intending to patch up the truck and get it roadworthy Sat morn and then...

Sermis.. My hypothesis on the fuel issue is that either: A. The seals in the pump(s) are dried up from sitting too long or, B. there is crap clogging up the line between the tank and filterhousing. For the rest of you that don't know what the issue is and may have some positive insight... We...

Ok, I'm not going to steal all of Kwai's glory... But I will tell you that everything went fairly well. and give you one picture. i'm sure that Kwai will upload the rest as soon as he gets the chance... Laterz, Gator
