I've got a 95 k2500 Z-71 and run 10 ply Michelins the last set I got 90,000 miles out of .Gave them to a buddy 2 years ago and he's still running them on his truck !

The tire was replaced free of charge. I'm very happy. America's Tire gets a "LIKE"

I flew to Billings and drove a company truck back. That first morning, the ditches were full of cars in Billings city limits, then it was just me and I would meet the occasional Fed Ex truck.

That first day wasn't much for sightseeing. Visibility was terrible.

The Ram was really stable, I drove about 50.

A bit late in answering about the big ol truck you bought in Montana ,, that is a parts getter for sure.. looks like you can put a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the bed and still have room at the tail gate when closed.. I bet it was a bit slick with a empty bed on icy roads ..

K.B. I've always had a soft spot for 68 Charger's. I had one with a 440 when I was a kid. That one looks nice. Wish I could afford it now. I paid $650 for mine. It would probably cost that much for a fender now.

harpo231 · 01-13-2018, 06:46 PM

674 bucks for fender

**special-K** · 01-13-2018, 06:49 PM

Got stuck behind a load of stone

**davischevy** · 01-13-2018, 06:55 PM

Dang, I can't decide which direction to head.

East toward Grumpy's place for steaks or west toward Poppi's shop to check out cars.

I am the Poppi around here. When the kids are here they head out to the shop with me.

Nothing gets done but we have fun.

**mongocanfly** · 01-13-2018, 08:34 PM

I'd head for Grumpys....I'd be scared he'd eat up all those steaks before I got back from looking at cars..

Killer Bee · 01-13-2018, 09:15 PM

I'd be heading for Grumpy's delicious steaks too..

I can't afford any of poppi's customer's cars

Had "the talk" with my 12yo son today. He seems fine. I am traumatized.

So you finally told him about the girls from Arkansas?

**davischevy** · 01-14-2018, 07:35 PM

The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and after a little shopping round, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger.. The Chef's' claim was approved

flashed · 01-13-2018, 10:29 PM

What did your 12 year old son teach you ?

**Grumpy old man** · 01-13-2018, 11:08 PM

We don't worry about running out of steaks around here and when you get tired of steak there's always some turkey to round up . Ours just don't come wrapped in plastic

I would head for Grumpy's, but, I don't feel like freeloaders like me are welcome there, and he would expect me to work.

I have said before here, I tried work once, and didn't like it. I am sure it wouldn't suit me now.

Now I have seen enough out of Grumpy, that when he observed my worthlessness, he would give me an attitude adjustment, and all I have to do is walk upstairs for that, so I am going to sit right here close to the fireplace until TOTMBO hollers down that lunch is ready.

I am obviously bored.
