Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

The "no shims we'll just bolt it in" is this one. See also: mounting pump upside down and sending pto bolts home to try and yank it in place.

 

That got expensive quick.

Some folks just shouldn't have access to tools.

 

It just broke I have no idea Why.

 

That's a damn good looking truck.

 

Those box Chevys are growing on me. I saw this one today. They are usually crusty in the rockers down here, this one is pretty bad..

 

Frames last forever !!

Cab mounts and cabs rust off.!

 

The "official" term is square body HAHA

 

General Motors referred to the 1973-91 models as the "Rounded Line", the 1967-72 trucks being the "Action Line".

 

The square bodies were only 73 to 87... and of course GM had some lame name for them.

 

"Lame" is a word that frequently comes up when studying GM.

 

Good evening guys

 

There’s always starlink or cellular data (TMobile, others). Used to be another satellite, but required upload via telephone.

 

Won’t work… 50’ proprietary cable.

 

Starlink has a 150’ cable for $130.

Proprietary connections, cable itself based on Cat6 (or 5e) depending on who you read.

They changed it. The original ones were longer and could likely be duped. The new ones… not so. I’m not where I get to look them over, but we have near 50 of them over time. Some geo, some moveable, some mobile. They don’t like frequency interference.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well
