I am forming the plan in my head.I am using the flat deck, static drop and of course a unique diesel motor. It will be built to be driven.

Changing out the crappy foam cowl vent seal for a hopefully better rubber one from "Steele".
Also giving the truck a check up before heading to the AD National show that is on Sept 21. I hope to see some of you there. 17,000 mi and counting.

USA its from Steele. So far works great

lower50's · 09-26-2019, 11:58 AM

Trip one went great zero problems there and back. 1200mi. My son and I had a great time at the AD National show over 40 trucks showed up, so many nice people. Friday before the show we did a cruse 20 min north to a car museum then went go carting. I finally shook this guys hand after all these years punching a key board. Great to finally meet you Rob.

Thank you Lowers,
Here is my 6500 (large front clip) 4x4 with an Onan six cylinder. I think these truck look a lot better with a visor.

That's nice upside down pictures. No wonder I never get that much work done. Loading the fire wood in an upside down trailer.

99 to Life · 09-27-2019, 10:36 AM

congrats on the journey. Rob is a nice guy. I never met him personally. I'v been talking to shannonpanel on here for 10 yrs. We call about once a month or two and hes only about 3.5hrs away. Still haven't met him! The nats is getting bigger every year.

There are lots of shows on my list.

lower50's · 10-16-2019, 12:29 PM

Well our big fall trip is done. We where 2 weeks early this year due to my holiday schedule. So we decided to go tour the East coast of Canada. Heather and I with our 2 dogs had 2 weeks and traveled 4 provinces and 4 states. We spent time in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Passed through Quebec, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New York state. We had a great time, spent 10 nights either a few feet from the ocean or easy view of the ocean. Got home with 5120km or 3200mi, no problems at all with truck or trailer.
