Car dealers------such whooosies.........."when i was your age I used to run 10 miles in 2 ft of snow barefooted"".......Wait was that my grandfather coming out?????.........lol.................jim

**67cheby** · 03-12-2012, 10:45 AM

now that was funny ! i have to run so i dont get any fatter ! i go about 220 dont know how much i would weigh if i didnt run !!

watahyahknow · 03-12-2012, 12:39 PM

i know i shouldve run more after i got my driverslicence i gained about 1/2 my weigh since that time , if i try to run now my back starts to complain and shortly after that my hip starts to feel like its starting to disconnect
maive i just start walking longer distances in summer

**67cheby** · 03-12-2012, 01:59 PM

get out there and do it....that stuff will quit hurting after a while !

watahyahknow · 03-12-2012, 02:13 PM

the problem is that i need to roll myself out of bed and limp to the toilet at night a few times before it stops hurting in the morning , i allready work more to get back in shape and forcing myself to walk more by parking the truck farther away and walk back to do the delivery

think being hit in youre lower back by a baseballbat a few times and have a screwdriver prying in youre hipsocket non stop no matter how you sit stand or lie down and youre pretty close to wat i feel at the end of the day , its realy annoying as it interferes with my freetime stuff like working on my car and trucks

**67cheby** · 03-12-2012, 02:21 PM

ouch..that sounds painful

**67cheby** · 03-13-2012, 09:37 AM

i cut apart a SLOSH TUB to show clearance for everyone 28 1/2 inches

**67cheby** · 03-14-2012, 09:26 AM

notch work is starting, i will have to wait until i blow the frame back apart to finish welding and grinding on this part of the notch, really hard to get at with my tools , i need a small angle grinder !! anyone show me what they did to notch their cab for the bolt in body drop ? any pics anyone ?

jtp67-72 · 03-14-2012, 10:53 AM

this is the way I did it on previous truck-not real closeup though.......jim

**67cheby** · 03-14-2012, 10:56 AM

**67cheby** · 03-14-2012, 08:58 PM
