Just picked it up today!
1970 Chevy K10, half ton 4X4, 350 small block, factory air, factory tach, factory tilt wheel & cab light.
Needs some work but in damned good shape for a 42 year old truck.
Problem is that I want at least seating for four that can get through the trees around here, so that makes the pool smaller.
Yeah,I would imagine it would. I've never even seen one,but since I don't live in snow country I know next to nothing about them. I did hear from a guy in my Old Fart antique car circle about a man in Minot,ND that is supposed to have dozens for sale and is reputed to be a VERY honest guy. He likes to ride them and bought up every one he could get his hands on for years so he could rebuild and play with them. I have been told he is a very motivated seller because he needs the time and money to work on his antique cars. Not to mention the storage space. Mostly the time. He's gotten older just like the rest of us and wants to spend more time on his antique cars.
Maybe you could post a "want to buy snowmobiles and parts" ad on the Minot Craigs List or the local paper and either buy what you want,or even buy them all and make a bundle repairing them or selling them for parts in Alaska? He probbly has enough of that stuff to fill a large shipping container,and it might just be worth your while financially to rent a container and ship them to you by rail?
Ever ride in a sno-cat of any sort?
No. I've only seen them on tv and in movies. I know nothing about them.
They're very kewl.
I don't doubt it. Pretty much everything that goes fast that you can slide around is fun.
If you don't know what you are doing you can REALLY get yer tit in a wringer real fast.
BUT there is NO better way to travel OVER snow with a load and people.
I've ridden in brands that I don't even remember now. Those old ones were real labor intensive. Most tracked rigs are. But when you have juggies and miners and loggers et. al. using them ... well ...
When you aren't insulting the service, and courage, and sacrifices of the entire US NAVY; the Seventh fleet, DesRon15, my ships, my shipmates, my FAMILY, my STATE and ME. During OUR service IN Vietnam.
Or when you aren't calling US or ME; a LIAR, a COWARD and a FRAUD.
I can accept that you have serious mental problems, you certainly have had reason to develop them IF what you claim is true.
I have absolutely zero interest in making your life more pleasant or otherwise.
Frankly pete I have been talking about this particular dance that you seem to so love.
Where YOU seem to think that YOU get to say who is and who is not a real vet.
It doesn't matter fuck all what YOU "think" or "feel", the US GOOBERMENT/US Department of Defense/US NAVY say fucking otherwise.
VSM with three stars, CAR, MUC with two stars, Shellback.
Kiss my ASS.
This is where the breakdown begins on this thread. It is also kind of off topic.
#74. To: A K A Stone, Fred Mertz, sneakypete, All (#71)
I put you back to full posting. You're welcome to post or not. Please stop the C word talk.
LOL!
Am I supposed to kiss your feet in subjugated gratitude?
This is YOUR site. I could and would play by the rules, when they are EQUALLY and CONSISTENTLY applied.
But they never are here.
I despise Fred Mertz's politics and online persona, but I am grateful for his position on banning me. It is the same position I have towards him and all of his ilk. He is a man of his word, at least on freedom of speech, even PROFANE speech aimed AT him and his ilk..
That you disappeared his comment really frosted the cake for me.
You see Stone, "nice" speech is EASY to tolerate, it's the HARD/PROFANE speech where you get TESTED.
Not that the objective TRUTH seems to matter to you if it's "not nice".
sneakypete is a foul little CUNT. I have never put him down for his service, but I'll be GOD DAMNED if I'll let that little FUCKING CUNT call the entire US NAVY COWARDS AND SHIRKERS. Not to mention his FUCKING arrogance and INSANITY that HE alone gets to say who is and who is NOT a VETERAN.
If my defense of myself, my shipmates, my ships, and squadrons and fleets, and the US NAVY offends YOU Stone, while you allow him to slander the entire BRANCH, well stone, YOU can FUCK OFF.
I guess that I could call you a mealy mouthed CUNT and tell you to shove this site up your ass?
What would be the point of that from my viewpoint? To insult you? LOL! Shit stone my very existence insults weak sisters such as you.
It should be easier for me to break the LF habit if I combine it with quitting another bad habit, going to DRUDGE. They say that it takes two weeks to break a habit. I guess that I'll find out.
I wish you no ill, just a CLUE.
I just wish that you were a MAN. But THAT'S against the LAW nowadays.
Have a NICE life Stone, being a milquetoast hypocrite is certainly one way of "living".
That is the nicest thing you have ever said to me, MD.
Honestly, I am flattered that you care so much about tempering your growls and barking. I can see you are improving your snarling, but don't bite Stone in your remarcks; he has this nasty button called "KILL POSTER." So, do you want some sort of treat as in some Purina Dog Chow for your improved performance?
