It's great to see so much stuff going on at the bench here. I wish I was so lucky. I don't even have time to breathe between trying to retire and work, work and more work. Here's what's on my table (don't have a bench) at the moment,


And it doesn't look to get any better soon. Hell, I can't even keep up with you folks and your fine work on here.........It sucks.............

Go to the other thread and copy its URL from your browser’s address bar. Then select the text you want as a link, click the little “chain” icon in the button bar, then paste the URL into the appropriate field of the popup.

Alternatively, if you have the toolbar turned off (by clicking the cogwheel icon), it works like this:

[ICODE][text for the link](https://www.example.com)[/ICODE]

That is, put the text you want to be clickable between square brackets, followed by the URL in parentheses, without a space between any of this (though you can have spaces in the actual link text).

Thanks Jakko. Bet I forget it next time I need it though LOL…

The dump truck evilbey deal has caused me to take another look at the ROCO version of the GMC purpose-built dump truck as they had to be disassembled for cleanup. The six I had were done decades ago. Upon further investigation they have used the same chassis as the long wheelbase cargo version w/the spare tire & gas tank in the wrong place for the short wheelbase GMC dump truck. I now have 10 dump trucks to remove the side mounted gas tank & spare tire/mount, remounting the spare tire behind the cab. Here are five chassis done & five to go. I am not going to shorten the wheelbase because I would also have to shorten the dump bed, dump mechanism frame, & lift cylinder. Too much work for a few mm. C&Cs welcomed.

That's a lot of Deuce and a halfs !

I do love a CCKW, I modified quite a few Italeri 1/35's in the olden days. I did chop a 353 into a SWB 352 but now you can buy it as a kit so I probably will.

And I drove one round Holland. I think building kits was easier.

"All the power you can muster" was power steering in those days.

Yeah, and the one shot brakes. There's a lamp post near Eindhoven the learned of my inexperience.

Looks to me like you are having fun Paul...... :thumb2: Rick H.

Damn caught me out once again 570, actually believed you were taking up diving as a new hobby and using it for researching war time wreaks.

Matron could you up my meds please.
Now totally confused of Broadmoor .

Likewise....

Sorry to read you are under matron's clutches once more. You really must stop getting yourself all worked up and confused over a bit of plastic! Bad for the soul......

I know you say its gravel and filler, but it looks like the weetabix is out again Ron…..
Coming on nicely though.

Tim, I don't tell porkies It is crushed gravel and filler. Trust me, I'm a Doctor....

Dan, it was like stopping was an afterthought for automotive engineers. Brake fade definitely has a pucker factor. I was really surprised when restoring a 57 Chevy that the rear drums were the same from 1937 to 1960 something.

Got the hair up on the back of my neck a few times after I stuffed that big block Chevy in my '55 ........even with new brake shoes, that extra few hundred pounds of weight on the front end........thought she'd never stop!
