    It doesn't look like the most fun 10 hours?
    Hope it is not too serious.
    Nice truck though
     
  4. Nice K C background scenery, Kevin.

    Hope the fix isn't too bad.

    Nothin like mechanical problems to help re-arrange your day. Mine always seem to come right after my girlfriend sez " You'll be on time right? This is important."

    I think those are the magic words that my car needs to hear.

    Good luck.

    Not the ideal way to spend 10 hours of your life.

    I'm not cracking on you, but everytime I see your truck, it is broke down somewhere. Hope it is not too serious.


    I miss Kansas City. If it wasn't so freaking cold six months out of the year, I just might be your neighbour.

    See ya, -Abone.

    I'm no expert, but those springs look decidedly out of place on that there pressure plate! The third pic, with the truck sitting and nobody on the road is awesome. Right out of the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits when people disappeared off the face of the earth. Too bad it had to break to get that shot.

    im sorry about the mech gremlins. Luckily just a clutch. I have gotta say that the tow truck driver looks kinda like a zombie while looking through the windshield of your truck.

    Does that lady work for the IRS? I think that I may have spoke with her in the past with her raspy voice.

    FYI, I keep a tow-strap in the daily & it has a hitch on it if the brakes work and I can help you limp back home. Oh yea, Mike/Cactus does rule! Now if I can only get him to "Plow" my snow in the driveway next time we get a foot of snow overnight.

    Oh yea, if you need any parts (like you need them), I have that pile that you can dig thru if your needing anything.

    April is a comin thou and you can bet that I will be carrying the necessary tools
