Looks good Dennis. Glad you saved the bucks. The labor rate you were quoted sounds like some of the "On the interstate and your truck's broke down" gippo repair shops I've run across.

I like the Travelall. Mebbe it's 'cause IH's were some of my first teachers, vehicle-wise. After I got the Metro, I started digging back in my fuzzy memory, and pretty much nailed down my first pickup-truck driving experience, which doesn't really qualify as driving. It was in an IH, about 1962 or s...

Progress is good, at least that kind anyway.

Yep, grocery carts can be lots of things when needed.

Enjoy. This guy is funny.

Rudy, I don't know which direction or how far you're going, but I'm a few miles SE of Huntsville, AL. If your trip should bring you down this direction, I'd be happy to assist in any way I can, whether it be pit stop and a meal, road service to help with trouble (hoping you won't need that!), a safe...

That's one very fine-looking bus. Looks like the ideal candidate for your purpose.
Have fun.
Stan

Yep, sometimes it's good to be home again. My problem is different tho. I'be been home too long already, and need a road trip that's long enough to make me glad to get home again.
Hope your trip was all good.

Love it Rudy! Reminds me of something an old man told me about 30 years ago. He said "Now it takes me all night to do, what I used to do all night."

More. Having said all that, I wouldn't advise anyone to do something they're not comfortable with, or in an unsafe manner. I've seen lots of stuff strewed alongside the highway because it shouldn't have been on the road to begin with, or just wasn't done properly. So, be careful. Some say don't do i...

Towing the Scout shouldn't overwork the bus. Don't know what powertrain you've got, but since it's in a bus it was surely specced for hauling more load than a Scout. The bigger question is how you want to do the tow. Flat-tow, dolly, or on a trailer? If flat-tow does it have manual or automatic tran...

Looing good Ezra. And ditto what Rudy said about the blower. The cracked plastic thing looks like an air-filter restriction gauge. Should have a green ring showing when there's no excess restriction (clean filter), and a red band when intake restriction rises, indicating that the air-filter is clogg...

Looks good to me Rudy.

Holly sh*t dems some pies[/quote]
Yeah man, I need me 'bout 3 or 2 uv dem tings!
Stan

Reading about all the good food you guys are talking about got me remembering a fine food I got to enjoy several times during my short trucking career. I reckon it's a regional thing, a meat pie, I suppose named for the Louisiana city of the same name. Maybe Graydawg (James) will chime in here, sinc...
