Paging G Carter

[catch 22]

George, Got a new truck Monday and guess what I did to it? That polish works very well.

[gcarter]

So you have to be with Publlix for 27 years before they trust you with a new ride, huh?
Nice looking set of wheels Jim!!:eek!: :eek!:

Hey everyone, I told Jim he needs his favorite polish on his shorty to match the shine on his labbed prop!!
Wouldn't that look cool?Just imagine a mirror shine from the drive parting line down!!

Don't y'all agree?

[catch 22]

No. My first new one was 3 years ago this is #2. Not bad after 23 years.:boggled:

[need for speed]

that would pull the 22 very well! needs a little red...:wink:

[FOSTER]

Wheels look great. I have a couple of pieces that need polishing if you need some more practice.:)

[BUIZILLA]

Don't laugh but i'm dead serious about buying this....

why? I have no clue, I just like it...

[FOSTER]

Grocery getter or tow rig ?? Might not get 20 mpg. But it would turn heads.

[Sofa King]

U think it could pull a 22 classic?

[Sofa King]

Does Publix still give out S&H green stamps?

Jimmy and Gina could shine that thing up so much, it would blind other people on the road. I'm bring some polish for them to take care of my trailer in Sarasota.:wink:

Swap in a set of 3.36 gears in the rear and it might get 10 to 12 mpg and still haul any thing that will fit in your driveway. Sweet looking rig, how bought some details.

In a former life (it seems like anyway), I was 1/2 of the engineering department at a medium sized fab shop in Houston. One of the functions we fulfilled was to build all of Schlumberger Well Services's odd ball, non production survey trucks and off shore survey cabs.
One of their orders was for four trucks intended for Saudi Arabia. These were International 5000 Paystar chasis with 15" deep, double rail frames, 6 X 6, w/ double reduction, locking differentials and humongous sand tires, a deep transfer case, 13 speed, 3 range Fuller Road Ranger transmission, and a Cummins NH series engine.
The rest of the truck was pretty interesting too. Behind the drivers cab was an instrument cab w/ four roof top air conditioners followed by a 42" diameter wire reel w/25000' of instrument wire. On the tail end of the bed was a base of a 72' folding mast. Underneath this were some 14' stabilizers, and jacks under the frame rails. The front bumper was extended 3' and carried jacks (visible in the pic) and a 15 KW generator driven off the engine crank via a short driveshaft.
Altogether there were six discreet hydraulic systems driving all the systems.
There were four fuel tanks and tanks for 200 gallons of water. These trucks would go to remote areas of the Saudi desert along with several support trucks and work for several days and log wells.
This picture was taken in December of 1978 (I think) in our yard in Houston. I was 34 years old. In those days I was just over 6' and weighed 180#. I'd like to weigh that again.

George, Gina thinks you looked like a young (BOCEPHUS) Hank Williams Jr.:) All you needed was the hat.

I had one of those too.
Actually, I only grew a beard when I went skiing in Colorado at Christmas. That's how I knew it was in December. The rest of the time I just had a mustache.
