Re: My Facetruck thread.
WE were talking about Fresno a while back. I just realized my dad was inducted into the United States Army 24 June, 1943 in Fresno, CA.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I was a fleet manager for long time. I got a lot of shoulder shrugs and "don't knows".

Re: My Facetruck thread.
When I was in the Navy we called that a "reserve salute". Those guys would make rate but didn't have any answers if you asked them a question...just a shrug. I don't get how making it to 1st class PO and having to pass the tests works, I guess.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Nobody ever knows anything about it.
I asked about a trailer fender laying in the back lot. Mechanic said the story he got was a blow out tore it off. The holes were all still intact. I made a wild guess and bet the mechanic. They had loaded it such that the fender was pressed against the tires. A few miles down the Interstate and the sidewalls wore out. We had a twenty foot tilt trailer stolen this week. Was it in the fenced lot. NO. Who parked it beside the road? We don't know.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
My utility trailer has removeable sides. I worked up some soaked heavy oak at a friend's place and loaded it up. I got about two miles and realized a trailer tire went flat... cold wet dreary night. The sidewall was sliced through at the tread all the way around. Back it up to a year or so earlier and that fender had fatigued at the welds that mounted it, so I bolted it to the expanded steel side until I put new fenders on, which are sitting in the shed. Worked out well until this day. The sides are held down on each side by a rubber Jeep hood latch near the front. Hit a pothole and the rear of the side can pop up out of it's pocket. That must be how it was when I loaded it, so the side was bulged and the trailer was squatted from the weight... max load. The bolt head went to work on that tire as soon as the trailer started moving. So there you have it. Perfectly good, almost new, tire and wheel ruined.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
This is quite a thing you started Larry (other, I guess. I don't know either). Almost 100 pages. I'm not going to jump in and be all familiar, but I will say that what you told us of John made an impression on me and I'm sure he is missed greatly by many.
As far as Facetruck, it's kind of brilliant. Really enjoy seeing all the different types of vehicles people are involved with. Other projects, including work and home. Seeing parts of the country that I haven't been yet. Funny idea that you started off, and actually is more worthwhile than the real thing. Chris |

It was funny to go back and see how it started. I couldn't remember exactly. I just clicked a page or two in the middle and had a laugh or two. I also was reminded Chevyland is in the middle of his Christmas tree season.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
There are a bunch of Larry's on here and at some point we had a mix up in a thread, so I just added "other" to my Larry.
It goes something like here is Larry and Larry and his other brother Larry.
