Hi Gang

This Saturday im headed up to Vermont to bring back my new home. I bought a 1974 4905a GMC Buffalo 40 footer. It came off anair force base un in N.Y. Sharkey, How can I post a pic of the new rig? Do I send it to you?

[Sharkey]

Dennis;

Sounds like you are setting off on a epic journey (the bus conversion project, not just picking it up).

What people usually do to host pics is use a service like Imagestation, or Tinypic. Most image hosting services allow you to create albums, with thumbnails of the photos, space for descriptions, etc. Once the photos are posted on the server then you put BBcode containing the address of the image into your posts here which makes the image appear.

This example is in a "code box" so that instead of displaying the image, it shows the code:

Code: Select all

comes out looking like this on your browser:



Good luck on the bus pickup. Have a safe trip.

Well folks

Wow! What power the 8-71 has. Coming down from Vermont on the interstate if I wasn't going 75 or 80 I would have been run over. What a rig. Im use to my skoolie/home at a screaming 58 MPH top end so the new Buffalo was a little on the scrary side for me at that kind of speeds but after getting hom safe and shutting it down I was left knowing that the new rig will be happy rolling at 65 to 70 all day lng if I wanted or needed to. It needs a good cleaning up and a paint job but machicly it in really good shape. I will try to to figure out how to post a few pics soon. My friend got a good picture of me wedging it on the ferry. It wa a tight squeeze but I got it on the. Well, I need to crash, Im spent

Congrats on the new rig, and glad to know you made it home safely!
Ditto on the previous requrests for photos!

[Dudley]

I was really hopeing to see some pictures of the new Buffalo this weekend.
I would have to guess that Dennis is busy getting intimate with it.

I have a few pics of the new home but I just don't know how to post them

[Dudley]

Sorry, I am no help on the picture posting. Other than having lots of power has your new bus given you any more suprises good or bad?
Have you decided on a floor plan yet? What are you going to do with your other bus? I apoligize for the fifty questions I just get excited about new projects like this one.
Not unlike Mr Sharkey, life's deck has been re-shuffeled and given me a big handful of change lately. For the second time in three years I am moving from one corner of the country to the other, this time from Arizona back to New Hampshire. Ahh, the adventure of it all!

Hosting photos:

1) The photos need to be hosted on a server. There are many free image hosting services. One is Imagestation, another is Tinypic. Some of these may require you to register, I know that Tinypic is totally free, you just upload your photos from your computer's hard drive and go.

2) The hosting service provides you with an address of the image once it's uploaded. Tiny pic, for instance, includes the image tags that this forum needs to post a pic.
