Hello Skull
looking good!! I do have a question though; Where did you get your brake chambers? The reason I ask is I have not see the type that has the removable clamp on the spring brake side with no little safety brackets for a long time!!! Please take note there is a big spring on the back part of your chamber they have a LOT of stored energy and have hurt a lot of people through the years!! You may know about them and if you do please take no offence from me mentioning about them but if you do not know please be careful and don't take the back end loose!

Hi there, Wrench!

Thanks for warning me, safety always comes first! I got them from a truck stuff supplier near my home.

Now it´s time to start connect all those chambers and valves to the brake system.

A big hug!

Hey Ahab!

Slow to reply, My Good Friend, but just a lot going on at THIS end too, I guess.

I know the new job will work out for you. It takes a while to get up to speed whenever you start something new, so don't let that work on you at all. It'll all come together.

How's it going at the new place, so far?

I've moved from one town to another, also got out of the job and got a new one....I got married....and....the truck moves by his own power!
And.....he's got a little brother, a '68 Chevy C65 6x6.

So, like I said...life changed!

Let me know about you, how life is going and what you have been doing.

A big hug to you all!

Wow, Skull Crusher, it sounds like you got Born Again or something! A lot going on for you, and that's great.

Had our one big snowstorm of the season here (I hope that was it), and just coming off the end of that.

My second daughter is getting in her college acceptances, and so we're THIS close to being Empty Nesters.

And then Momma says she needs a puppy. :shock::shrugs:. Go figure. But she's My Beautiful Bride, so what're you going to do. She's Happy; the House is Happy.

Got to get my business license (government smokescreen for another tax I have to pay), and a flyer, and my webpage up; and I'll launch my small business of facilities services.

I think that's all about it. For now anyway.

How about some pics of your new "digs"?

PS

What kind of bed are you thinking of for the rig (I mean if there is one on your mind)?

From the last to the first:

I'm planning a flat bed for the Kraz as it will be very usefull I think it will look good on it.

The Chevy is a good runner, got a non synch 5 speed tranny and no power steering too...makes a funny drive!

The tractor tired rig got the diesel Perkins engine and a Clark 5 speed tranny installed too.

Its always very entertaining hearing from you! I really like the way you write! I talked to my wife about you and how friendly you always are to everybody here around SS Forum!

Right now I am in a hospital in São Paulo. My wife need to get rid of her womb due to some myomas and endometriosis. She got out of the surgery feeling well and the recovering process is going fine.

Where we live now there is no internet signal, it´s too deep in the woods.

God bless you and your family!
