South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Good looking out sir . Hadn't seen that. Just randomly found yours yesterday

 

Yet it's been linked in my signature for ummmmm IDK how long

 

I always noticed the picture, never saw the words directly below it

 

I guess I need to find better highlighter colors for the words then.

 

It's a 5.3. and it's all coming out. Tired of it.

 

Thanks @scottalot and @TownvilleTim for the link to that wiring harness. Worked like a champ!

 

Trying to find a dcsb/lb Tacoma without breaking the bank and without having high miles is next to impossible.

 

There is one at Car City in Lugoff. Looks to be the base model though but it’s a 4x4 DCSB.

 

My truck is sitting inside an old drag bucket. Went up to AOAA the first of the month and the off road park sits on a bunch of old mining land and this was used when the mines were still open. I had to stop and see if my truck would fit and it did.

 

What’s your budget? I’ll be on the lookout.

 

Yeah that whole area was pretty sweet! Want to go back when I get a chance. There also was a place called the “Whaleback” that was a rock that was carved out and ended up looking like a whale.

 

Reading anthracite is the comoany that sold all the land to aoaa park. I worked for them for a few years outta the Marine Corps before I went to Cummins. I gotta get my old laptop out and find pics of some of the draglines and dmags.

As far as I know the big 7600 shovel is still running in minersville in the deep pit. It’s a 50 ton bucket. I have a picture of my 7.3 powerstroke service truck parked sideways inside the bucket haha. Was a cool experience working on equipment that big.

 

Inquiry sent. Looks like a clean truck. Has way more options than I currently have! Backup camera, cruise, power locks and windows!

Has sport wheels though so I'd have to swap my steelies if I want to keep my new km2s

 

That’s my old hunting grounds! When ya park up top and look down into that valley that’s all public land to hunt now. Shot so many bucks and bears off those 2 mtns. I was just up last month and man are they timbering the shit outta that area. Pipeline crew is running that new line through the area too. Changed a lot in the last 8 months.

 

I searched on Autotrader and found my Tacoma in Greenwood at a Chevrolet dealer.

 

Mid 50s if I remember correct. It’s full electric shovel. They still use a pile of a Manitowoc diesel drag lines also. I know Manitowoc will custom make ones but most the mine companies buy em used and have em shipped in pieces. They get built on site wherever they plan to use em.

This is the demag In the wadesville pit. They still use 3-4 of them. You can see a smaller 4600 drag line in the back doing some work.

 

I remember an old timer, named Eddy Williams. He would grease that 7600 boom with no harness. Stand up there smoking haha. I about shit my pants just watching him climb it and he did it weekly in all weather. Those old timers were a different breed.
