HELP Big Ken is Busted Down in St. Louis

Ken is just North of St. Lious on 270 West by the Lindbirough (sp) Exit mile 24. He has a flat and needs some air. He tried AAA but no luck.

Call Him @ 214 762-8590
or me
@ 214- 642-9446

Thanks

This time of day he should have one of the Counties highway helpers there with him any second. That is a spot where someone breaksdown or there is a wreck nearly everyday so he should be taken care of quickly.

 

Come on St.Louis guys help him out. I'd be there in a heartbeat but I'm stuck at work.

 

I called him and left my number. I'm just up the road if I can lend a hand.

 

BTTT.



AAA couldn't help him? WTF?

 

me too...

 

Ken had several calls and he is now back on the road.... all in just 30 minutes or less.

Way to go HAMBer's and Thanks from Big Ken

 

he's got air, and is currently trying to get the bead seated. it seems a random stranger stopped, gave him an airtank and told him to leave it there and he'll get it later! see what happens when you're driving a hot rod!

 

Uhh..........yeah, whats the deal? I drove a tow truck for a AAA affiliated company for years, they should have either helped to get him back on the road, towed his vehicle or found someone who could.

 

Great news!

Musta been from runnin' through all those potholes on North Avenue in Chicago yesterday afternoon!

 

Most likely - thanks for a great time, again, man.
Looks like the tube was folded up, and had a slice in it. BUT - the damn tire has two bulges on the sidewall now. Probably from runnin' the rim over it trying to get to the side of the road.
SO - anyone know where I can snag a good used/new Firestone, 525/550x17" ???? In St. Louis?????? Holler if you can, or know someone that can hook me up. Not sure this will be good to Joplin.
Thanks.

 

big ken i p***ed you in a big rig tonight. iwas pulling aset of doubles for fedex sorry i couldnt help no way to park the rig glad you got going cool truck good luck have fun at the drags. tom

 

Wished I could help but I'm fresh out of tires!

 

I've got a couple of 600/16s, but no 17s. I'll check around...... Maybe try Old Dog Street Rods.... 314-291-7637

 

Btt

 

Last time I called AAA they still hadn't showed up three hours later drove the car on the rim to get it off the interstate and ruined the rim, safer then on the side with the crazies on the cell phones flying by. Good luck finding your tire.

 

Dont have any tires. How about a alternative wheel tire combo. That has the same tire height and bolt circle? Come on monsterflake? You gotta have something? Ken call me in the morning. If you think I can do some running for you or something. Brian 314 620 7015

 

in my enormous pile of wheels and tires, i have nothing in a 5 on 5 1/2...

 

ken ,
if need be we can get something shipped to my house and installed on fri or sat?

 

Ken let me know if you dont find one, I can run to wallace wade tomorrow and bring you one to Joplin Thursday, I am sure he should have one in stock

Let me know

Rusty

 

bump,, Any news???

 

Still shopping St. Louis. You'd think I was looking for a left-handed monkey wrench........hehehe

 

Ken you junxed yourself! Weren't we just talking about that happening when you were here?? ha ha Good Luck! I have nothing in a 17 here....

 

No 17's but have a set of 8.50 X 15's mounted on early Merc wheels that i could bring to Joplin, Should get you home. You could just get them back to me next time you see me. I think they are about 29" tall.

 

Damn. When are you heading to Joplin Ken? I can call around and see if anyone has a wheel/tire you can borrow till joplin and then maybe you can have someone bring you something to get from joplin till home. Whats the bolt patter? How tall is it from the ground to the top of the tire?

 

Ken, have car trailer will travel
sent you a PM
FRITZ

 

he needs a 5 on 5 1/2, if someone has wheels, i can provide some 15" tires...

(i have tall 15s or shorter 14s, i just saw that it was a front tire. is there a 14" wheel in the big ford pattern?)
