60+ year old thread.

Thanks.
He's probably saying "Made you look "

 

I guess

I'll be politically incorrect for a minute, the guy is definitely trying to make his shit box more than it is. 4 door with one of those noise can exhaust tips

 

Happy Friday Folks. Made it through another week looking at the green side.

Hope you get your sites on a legal one Buck.

 

Got a lot done.
Did the next to final mow.
Used the sweeper.
All blowers ready to go.
Checked the tractor over.
Did a rev speed mod.
Installed the winch.
Enough for one day..
Going to the dirt kart races to help a friend of mine and his kid who couldn’t run for two years because of seizures.

 

I hate them, I have a hard time finding one that says put. good luck. Seems like you need a script for a good one.

 

Mod for the day. Turning a Bedslide Sidekick into a RamBox (ish).
Yesterday, I pulled the side boxes. I liked them until I didn't. Got in the way of loading more than I thought.



But I had an idea. And stopped at Ace this morning. A hefty 6x6 corner bracket is perfect!




No mods to the Sidekicks at all. Just needed to wallow out one bolt hole in the new bracket.



They goes like this. And they mount to the D rings on the side rail.






Now they are out of the way. Can be removed with 4 bolts if I want. And actually sturdier than they were. And the original parts are unmolested and stored.

 

Sorry... but what is (was) it supposed to do/be useful for? To me, not really knowing what the purpose is and only guessing, it looks like a can of worms to me. A slide out for the bed? But then, what are the elevated boxes to the side for?

This is why I build my own stuff.

 

Are you sure you're old? The slide out rolls out over the gate to facilitate easier loading at Lowe's where no one helps any more, and unloading at home, where it's always DIM. Heck of easier than getting in and pulling stuff out. The bins simply hold stuff. I could not build many things for what I pay. They were close to what I needed, just needed some help.

Google Bedslide. I got rid of my Decked because everything was too high.

 

LOL... Is "DIM" an acronym for something (or just a lack of light)? I don't speak acronym very well. I have the same problems with Lowe's and have better luck at Home Depot... but either way I get your point.

I have an older brother that is considered a mechanical genius because he can build anything to do a simple job, and his machine will have 38 moving parts and take a techy manual full of instructions to use. People love him and pay him big money to build stuff.

You need a low sliding surface that can be loaded with heavy stuff and will pull out over the tailgate for loading and unloading?

 

Do It Myownself.

Yes. Low, flat, rolling to mostly outside bed walls. Yes, materials exist where this can be made for less than paying a US company for a pretty nice product.

 

A couple more photos from the car show in Bowling Green, Kentucky this past Tuesday.

It's pretty-much local guys and not SEMA.



Nomad



This is my favorite from the group. A '65 Impala.

 

Oh wow that nomad is cool.

 

I'll be in San Antonio for Cars and Coffee too darn early! I'll try not to let you down. Local guys are a great show!

 

Clean 65 Impala.

 

So I went riding on the AT today--a Friday the 13th ride. What could go wrong? First I need to pay the electric bill. I'll hit-up an ATM first.

Had to use a bank card though.

Rode down into some familiar area of Tennessee. Good for a few hours and about 113 miles.




Read a few lines of the sign as I passed. Turned around to finish reading and picture for you guys.



Stopped in a river bed for a picture.



Back in Kentucky and in Amish territory, the bike is wiggling oddly. Soon it felt like a tire was going flat. So, I stopped for a look-see.



Tire pressures were good. While here, I heard two ghostly sounds of windy booooing. This is weird. Hopped on the bike and finished the ten miles or so back to the house. No squirmy tire feeling after about a mile.

It was Friday the 13th and the area! Spooky stuff there west of Scottsville, Kentucky.

 

As show as she gets! I do have my standards, after all! See you after the show, and the eclipse!

 

Someone said this was in @Tacoma Mike 's back yard....

 

Welcome. This past winter I went back to my post from69-70, Ft. Stewart, Georgia. Everything had changed. So many traffic lights on post, there were none when I was there. The Ft is now artillery, when I was there it was helicopter and light fixed wing aircraft training.

Good morning. We made it up to Caseville , MI and ready to get the SIL's cottage ready for winter. Supposed to have high winds and rain today.
