I need to stop jumping off of ladders and flopping onto my side. It's just not fun anymore. Still hurts after two weeks.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Fancy way to tell us you fell eh.....careful dude!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Yep, got careless and dumb for a minute. Made me think. Ribs keep reminding me.

I think it's great they have events like this in these times. Good old family fun celebrating old ways and good country living. I hope you can read it.

How many have things like this in your area? Small town America has many interesting festivals and such throughout the nation. Come to think of it, the Mt. Airy Fireman's carnival is going on this week and tonight is the parade. Fire houses from surrounding counties all send their pride & joys for a cruise up Main St. and over to the carnival grounds. It's a big one. I just saw where this is the 91st year. Golly! Check this out, skip to 1:75

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Dude you are too old to be jumping and flopping. In spite of how young your mind thinks you are you won’t heal nearly as fast as you once did if you break something. :lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I went in for my DOT physical the other day, and the doctor told me I was an extremely good health for my age. But, he said I needed remember that I'm not 35 anymore. He said from here on out I Am My Own Worst Enemy.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I hope you're feeling better today Tim.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Noticeably better. Getting less painful but that's the hard part. Still needs to mend. It happened Friday two weeks ago tomorrow. Thursday a week ago, I went and pulled a steel garage entry door to replace the bottom sweep and reinstall. Had to cut away some caulk, clean, dry, re-caulk a stand up corner shower, too. I was thinking all this would be light enough work. I was wrong. Both were tough to do and after that I felt as bad as the day it happened. That's when I started really taking it easy. Monday I had both of my sons help me do a job. They did pretty much all the work.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Getting old ain't for sissies! Let your sons help. One of my sons tore down most of the old wall and built most of the new wall. Even with a back brace, I could hardly move the stuff. Take care of yourself!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Thanks. The worst time is when I lay in bed at first. I lay on my back but it still hurts till I settle in a while. Sneezing is still horrifying :lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Don't take a laxative............just sayin':lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

At least it doesn't hurt to laugh anymore. I was in town for a p/s pump and some groceries just before they shut the place down for the parade. It shuts the whole town down as far as getting from one end to the other as well as the bypass. The carnival grounds are on the other side of the state hiway

Here we go again

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Dang Tim , I missed that you fell off a ladder , hope you feel better soon . I flipped a 4 wheeler about 5 weeks a go and hit my knee on the corner of my shop while going over . Man do I wish I could go back and not do that . My knee still hurts like hell ,just like you said ,when I try to sleep it throbs like a tooth ache .

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

This just in. Special K drove through multiple states, buck naked!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

And now...I need a therapist!!! Life will never be the same.....:lol::lol::lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My hopes with that was to draw attention away from my license plate area. I guess it worked. And none wanted to be first on the seen with the other :lol:

(I think I meant to post that trip in the law breaking thread)

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Dam Tim! Gotta hang on to those ladders. Hope things heal up fast for ya.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Got dumb and careless for a few seconds. Feeling a lot better, but ribs need more time to mend

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Sorry to hear about your fall- hope the pain improves. Maybe I could take out for your birthday next weekend in Carlisle- know of any good rib joints out there?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Good idea. I needs some new ribs in me. I'll have to look into any BBQ joints in the area

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Tim, I hope the healing comes quick and complete. Today the Budweiser brewery had back yard bbq day. I took my girlfriend and my 7 year old grand daughter. We had a blast, my grand daughter got to meet my coworkers and got special treatment with the Clydesdales. It was an awesome day for the old guy

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

We went to the lake with all our kids and grandkids yesterday. Great day!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Great weather here this weekend, perfect. I had a good family weekend, too.

I came upon this and think many will get a kick out of it. Plenty of vehicles to get your fill, but way more than that. 1960:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

12 hour mid nights all week.... you helped with about 30 minutes :)

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

OK Facetruck buddies. I have an offer on my "Man Cave". If I except this offer, I will need to sell a bunch of my stock pile. I have several cabs and SWB chassis that take up lots of space.

What do you guys/gals think the title should go with, cabs or chassis's? And what is the going rate for each? The cabs I have are spotless with NO rust. Most of the chassis's I have already switched to "71/"72 5 lug.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I'd keep the plate with the chassis. People buy cabs for existing trucks and can keep their numbers straight using their own. A frame will be more desirable with VIN-plate for converting long bed truck to short, or just building a shortbed from scratch. A frame w/o a title is an orphan, a cab is not

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Sounds good! Never thought of it that way before! I just buy, buy , buy...lol

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I came here to let everyone know I have made a decision I feel really great about. It's about my '67 project paint color. I've always said I never decide, or say, till I'm on my way to the paint store on the exact color. The interior will now be black when I originally had red for it. So that opened things wide for paint choices. Yep, the color I just landed on is a sure thing. I always liked it, it's factory, even for '67, and will help keep the modest nature I like for my vehicles. I always like to weigh in as many things as come to mind when making a decision and I feel I'm at a Eureka moment. Just feels good to be able to picture it now, complete. A real motivator.

With my memory I better write it down on something and put it where I know I can find it.... Shoot. Oh well, I'm sure I'll come up with it or some other good one when the time comes.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

You better write it in the cab....that will remind you. :lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That's what I'll do. Not too big

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I'm still alive. Update to come later.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Good to know. Waiting on pins and needles for an update......:smoke:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Same here. I'm hoping it's good news.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I have been having a ball. That's why I have been MIA.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I guess that's good news.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That is what I was inclined to think. That's what summer is for!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

:agree:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Another MIA is Eric. Chevyland ? He must be out roaming the country again.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

^ last time I talked to him he was hauling some trucks south for some professional work and daughter graduating college to be a teacher I believe..

and this time of year is the busiest season for his company..
