That sounds like an awesome project you guys are working on. It always warms my heart when I see old machines and vehicles being restored and given new life. Especially ones that are icons of an era like the long hood Peterbilts. When I see one of those on the highway, it raises my spirits so high, yet also makes me feel like an ultra-n00b because of the auto-transmission International that I am currently driving.I am sure that KW you got will be sick as fuck once you get that chrome on and give it the paint
Have a 1985 K100 that I've been working on since first of 2016;
Still lots to do, but that may never end.

Now that is a great 'family photo!'

Don't wait till he's done farming. It will be too late. Enjoy it together.
Sorry to break it to you buddy, but modern smokeless propellant does not contain any sulfur...

Thats a cool video with that old Peterbuilt! I'm just curious, how many of the gears do you use when the truck is empty like it is now?
Where is the m1 carbine
Some folks start off at around 3rd gear and do not even look at the lower ones because there is not much weight you are dealing with. You would be using around 5 to 6 gears at most on level road. Bobtails are tricky to manage at high speeds. Locking the wheels when braking is a real thing. When I took my Class A exam I used a 6-speed. Empty 48-ft box trailer. No double clutching even required. Instructor always wanted folks to start off at 2nd gear, but I always use the lowest one for taking off from a stop. Less chance of stalling.
They say lack of sex contributes to memory loss so I wanted to wish everyone a prosperous 2015 before I forgot!
In the picture with the other subcaliber guns like the Thompson, Reising and Grease Gun. They did however leave out the BAR, and Johnson Automatic.
I gotta hand it to you guy's. Biggest thing I ever drove was 107' ladder. Just over 35 tons and about 43 feet long but it had an automatic transmission and unless you were emergency traffic in shitty conditions it was easy to drive. I always thought I'd drive an 18 wheeler after I retired from the FD but I stayed there to long, that shit is too much like work
I am doing this on my Phone... neighbors are too far away to tap into ours. But my phone... will spread the joy everywhere!

Because those weren't the standard infantry battle rifle, either. Though one could make an argument for the Johnson, they made so few of them... it was not the 'standard issue' or "General Issue" battle rifle. The BAR was a squad-level support LMG... The Johnson, IIRC, only went to some Marine units.
A bunch of years ago when I was doing research at the Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park, I came across a whole bunch of letters that had been sent to Roosevelt lobbying for the Johnson. The Marines did not want it (commandant at the time was Holcomb, I think. Later Vandegrift), but the "Friends of Franklin" apparently did. I think I posted them somewhere on the 'Hide years ago.
Cheers,
