Luthj, are those new side pop-outs on your van? It’s been a while, but I don’t remember them. Mike

Thanks Mike

Looking good! What kind of flares are those in the front? Mike

Personally I think that bumper is just about right for your truck. No extra bling. I used to have a’42 ton and a half international, same body style. I like the vintage look. Mike

PS, I use a 6ah battery with my saw, although I’ve used 4 & 2 ah batteries with good results. Just changed more often. Mike

Hi, I’ve recently bought a dewalt 20V chainsaw with a 12” bar. I already had the batteries. I’ve got nothing but good to say about that saw. It’s not super fast like a gas saw, but it has done everything I’ve asked. It might take a bit to get through that 16” log, but it will do it. I’m now a...

The heater was the catalyst, so now I’ll have both. However, the tank holds 12.5 gallons.

I’m not completely sure,but at least 20 gallons I would expect. I’m thinking auxiliary fuel for vehicle as well as heater.

The tank I have is from a dodge car. It has a pump built-in. I’m going to go to a local wrecking yard and cruise for a fuel-filler that looks like it’ll work and go from there. I like the idea of putting a door in the rear quarter panel for the filler. We’ll see what I come up with.

I could do that, however I’ve mounted the other tank already and just have to put a filler tube into it. I was wondering what others have done to get some ideas. It was easier to mount the other tank and put in the tube that connects to the heater pump…. I think. Anyway I’m hoping to get some...

I put an auxiliary tank in my E350 for the diesel heater I just installed and was wondering what other people have done to solve the filler issue. I put the tank where the spare used to reside

What tank is that poly tank?

Those have a temp gauge that tells you the battery temperature. They do heat up going uphill, but it only affects performance if it is for a long time. You can’t be in a hurry. They do slow down on hills. I find you just get into the mode, slow down and enjoy the ride. I love mine. It’s...

That is an amazingly nice ladder. I’m still practicing with a spool-gun, but nothing beats tig welding. That would look nice on my van! Mike

Thanks for the thread, boomer was one of my favorites. Mike

Chris, are those gutter mounts a one off?

Are you sure that wasn’t hwy 49 out of Placerville? Mike

Awesome writing, I’ve had a few bugs and you really describe the emotions involved in the underpowered auto world. I had a ‘61 and a ‘59. I’ve been over monitor pass, not in a bug though. Your just now getting into familiar country ,for me, getting onto US 50. The loneliest road! Great story...

I think the gear vendors o.d. will go behind the 205. Just have to be careful when putting into 4wd.

That’s what I thought, those are pretty cool.
