If it was a Snap-Off I didn't buy it. And yes, you can actually picture where that name came from, and it hurt!!

A few years ago at Spring Carlisle. One of the better ones as far as GMC stuff goes

Was given this American LaFrance fire extinguisher on wheels yesterday. Couple of hours and a bunch of Liquid Wrench got the wheels to turn. Very cool piece of yard art saved from the scrapper.

Little swimming and a nice evening fire

yuccales · 05-31-2022, 09:22 AM

10,000 volts, non explosive, fire resistant. And the price is right.

Those hubcaps are sweet. I want them and I don't even have a GMC.

...Yet.

I've got my eye on a 67 that's just been sitting around the corner from me. I just have to see someone there and say howdy.

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-31-2022, 01:30 PM

My "Thing' got some new shoes. I put stock wheels back on it.

72c20customcamper · 05-31-2022, 01:48 PM

Picked up a few items today . The last picture is of a mid 1900s mail sorting cabinet has names of people who lived in town cool thing is I know some of these peoples kids who are my age. Even has the base for it all oak . There’s also about 20 typesetter trays and wooden box’s for axes and tools .

Not sure what the barrel was use for the top bung is brass and there’s a bung on the side looks like it had a cork stopper in it . Gunpowder perhaps ?

72c20customcamper · 05-31-2022, 01:52 PM

Also picked up a belt sander and chain saw sharpeners . I’m going back tomorrow for a wood lathe and tools . Also picked up a little tiller

Ha, I worked for quite a spell just down from there at Western Forms, 6200 Equitable, KCMO. Originator of aluminum concrete forms.

Hey, I know about Western Forms. Back around 74-75 they had moved into this area. I remember the guy in charge's name was Arnie but can't recall his last name. I got a job, first employee, working for WF Home Improvements which was set up under Western Forms somehow. I guess these guys were buddies because it didn't seem like a likely business arrangement

**FleetsidePaul** · 06-01-2022, 10:58 AM

My buddy rolled up in his 62 flatbed to check out my 70. He had this compressor on the truck and asked me where did I want it? He got a new one but this one works good.

Free !

I've still got to bolt it down and hook it up. We just set it down (backwards

). I'll clean it up and get it going.

Forget the compressor....where's the pic of the 62 Flatbed. We are feeling a little cheated.

I know. I should have snapped a pic. But I'm not a guy that carries his phone around. His 62 looks like a 66. He's had it since high school and he's 52 years old.

Not used to seeing these much anymore…

yuccales · 06-01-2022, 10:39 PM

This is a very special gift to me. My niece and nephew had their mom order this aluminum sign for me. They like my old truck, and know how much I like doing my flag waving. It's from Shutterfly. Measures 10 x 14 inches. Darn nice of them!

sun-up at 5:25 AM yesterday in my little end of the world.

My time of day! I'll never understand, "I'm just not a morning person".

I have one from the truck show at Carlisle a few years ago. It's coffee time!

You going to the truck show? I just made my hotel reservations boy I can tell you the prices are back to pre covid levels.

**special-K** · 06-05-2022, 07:32 AM

"We're going to throw a party that'll bring the house down!"

Sinkhole? I wondered if termites or rot got to that one end, but it wouldn't have lifted the rest of the house when it gave out. Well built chimneys to hold together after that!

this old place is about 150 years old and the back end is absolutely rotten from whatever critters were living in there.we know the people who bought the 125 acres it sits on,when the man pulled down some supports on the back end,the front rose up like the bow of a sinking ship.it'll be all coming down shortly.

mr.mud1 · 06-09-2022, 06:25 PM

one of Yogi Bear's distant cousins out this morning just up the road from home. we could see the proof in the road the last couple of days that one or more of these guys was hanging around.hopefully they move on asap.
