Re: Hijack Thread
Ha, I was just hijackin' special-K's hubcap post.
You never know, the snack thing might work. After all there are a limited supply of hubcaps, but Twinkies are forever.

Re: Hijack Thread
The swap meet was at the Howard County Fairgrounds in West Friendship, Maryland. Sorry I forgot to tell others. If you got on I-70 headed east you would have driven right past it.
Let me explain the significance of this hubcap. We go to swap meets hoping to find the deal of the century on a truckload of N.O.S. parts, rust free sheet metal, rare and unusual options, and a sausage, right? Well, didn't see any of that. They didn't even sell sausages. But sometimes it means even more to find that one silly little thing that you needed. On my '95 K500 Suburban I am running 7" Accuride steelies with 76-91 hubcaps. I have a shiny nice set of caps, but for winter I run a tarnished and dull set. When I rotated the tires in early winter the one cap didn't fit too snug. The rolled edge on these aluminum caps gets crushed by the nubs each time they pop on and this one was hard to find a spot where it fit snug. I did the best I could, but danged if I didn't have a bare wheel when I got to where I was going that day. Don't like a hubcap missing, didn't want to use a nice hubcap, only need one not a set, didn't want to buy a crappy cap off the board that shipping would make cost as much as a mint one, so all winter I have had a cap missing. It was horrible! So there I was at a swap meet and there was my cap. It wasn't a shiny one, the only 3/4t cap laying there with other 1/2t caps, and I popped the question "How much do you need for that cap?". He said $5, I bought it, and could not wait to go home and pop it on. Never been so happy over a $5 part. Life is good... just in time to run the shiny caps! * * Actually, I left the dull ones on last summer thinking I should preserve the minty ones since they are getting expensive and will get harder to find. If you want to know more about that hubcap feel free to ask. Speaking of hubcaps. Last summer at Carlisle Trucks, me and GR8 68 came back from supper in a sideways raining storm. Backing in next to my tables the rain was pounding my window so I couldn't see squat. I got it to where I'd open my door to check if it could open between tables, look down at the ground and see this: The wind had blown caps all over the place and my two best 73-75 8-lug caps just had to land where my tires needed to be. All I could do is laugh. The next day it got even funnier when I was telling the story to someone and they asking me to sell them to him

Re: Hijack Thread
Lot of good it's going to do me now! Went over to the BIL's house yesterday to get the Honda. Threw my back out bad today. Of course it's starting to snow. Might try to unload it this weekend.... or this spring.

Re: Hijack Thread
Speaking of Honda's, if I hook both the negative and positive battery cables to the positive post on my Ford, will the starter turn faster?

My friend's dad's (Jim) shop is gone that's to an F250 that could cross circuits all by itself. Jimmy bought a new '70 (I think) C/30 wrecker when he got out of the service. Used and used it, eventually sold to Dave's Body Shop. My friend who is younger than that truck was at an old junk yard where the man died and his son is piece by piece liquidating it all. My friend went to buy an S10 Blazer back seat, through Craigslist. Whle talking he catches a glimpse of a 67-72 with a wrecker rig among the dense stash of vehicles. He says to the guy, "I bet that wrecker says Dave's Body Shop on the doors and the PTO handle is a connecting rod". Yep, it did! My friend is negotiating the sale and will get in shape (it's all there) to give back to his dad... Jim! EDIT: Sorry if all this somehow relates to prior posts

Re: Hijack Thread
I slept in a 1972 Cheyenne in Idaho in 1973. I don't think I could do it now.

Re: Hijack Thread
I slept one morning about 4 hours on the back seat of my '69 Camaro. I was on my way back from Navy "A" school in Illinois and dropped a fellow sailor off at his grandma's house. I had the promise of a couch, but when we got there, he said that he was afraid to scare his grandma with a stranger in the house. I understood, though I didn't like it.
FWIW, I had Gabriel HiJackers on that Camaro!

Re: Hijack Thread
Speaking of shows, there is an antique sewing machine show this weekend. That should put you to sleep.

Re: Hijack Thread
Week or so ago my 4 year old granddaughter was riding in the old pickem up and asked why my truck was dirty .Still had coats and hoodies stuffed behind the seat , few shop rags and a few tools in the door pockets . I told her I use this for work and besides I just cleaned it last year .. She grinned and I winked and down the rode we went .
Fast forward to this last Sunday . Oldest granddaughter (a bit of a princess ) who is 11 and the 4 year old decided to go to town with me . Oldest gave me the stink eye and asked when was the last time i cleaned out the truck . Without missing a beat the 4 year old said "Last Year" then grinned from ear to ear . So guess what I'm doing this weekend ?
