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".
I have grown accustomed to MD's continuous growling; I think he works on his posts as a literary art form that truly presents the lowest level possible towards the interchange of communication methods.
From a thread Stone started to attack me at Freedom4UM.com a while back:
#13. To: A K A Stone (#0) You're a worthless psychotic piece of pig offal, Stone (look it up). Mikey's OK, he was gradually goading Mad Dog in the right direction to either post his personal info or kill himself/work himself into a fatal aneurysm, and every thinking person should support him in that work.
It just cannot be stressed often enough or strongly enough what a quasi- literate, semi-sentient piece of fundie nutball shit you are, and your little five-poster site underscores that your life is "epic fail."
So, I guess it's just you, the failed businessman Browneye, Paul Blart, Black Mall Cop/e_type_nigra, Yukon the diaper changer, Mad Dog, and last, but not least, Liberator, everyone's favorite sycophant, who sucks more ass in a week than a Hollywood lipo clinic.
Congratulations. You've boiled the worst of the worst of the internet down to concentrated shit, and you're the foamy stuff on top.

Mad Dog is no Semi-literate dumb shit. I saw his short lived page with literature he likes under the moniker of Skull Stomper, and believe his intensity is driven by a better than average intellect.
He has a lot going on and it manifests on line in this chit chat room as an intense vendetta expressed in a hurricane of emotion. I respect him feeling strong about issues concerning this country, and I imagine he likes Alaska because it offers him autonomy in his life we are increasingly loosing as the government seeks to destroy more of our privacy, and to manage more and more of our day to day lives.
I'd find it fascinating to meet him the next time I'm in Alaska because like you, I am good at spotting people who are like icebergs with most of themselves keep hidden until they strike and damage a ship.
I don't think he will wind up staying here, but I always wish him the best and hope he finds a chit chat channel that is more suited for him. I would encourage him to re-open his blog or to start another one.
He can keep his intense disdain for me as a Ron Paul supporter and a person who voted for Obama if he wishes. I do political activism in real time and know many people who can't stand me and what I believe in, and I deal with it.
Surprisingly enough too, often those people and I achieve a parity of trust enough to communicate on a better level where we put the personal animosity aside though the intense political disagreement always remains.
For example, one cop I intensely can't stand the opinions of gave me a high reference that helped me get the job I have now.
He liked the fact I always complimented the cops and him where they did good, as well as took them to task for the bad things I see them do. He also feels I have integrity and honesty enough as a person he put anything else he doesn't like about me aside to recommend me for this position I now have.
Good political advocacy involves a high level of good communication. If you can't learn to communicate with all kinds of people, even your adversaries, one will never be good at it.
I wish Mad Dog, a man who's military service I respect, who's knowledge as a hunter and a fisherman I acknowledge, and someone who I know actually has an intellect he does not share often in here with us the best, wherever he winds up. Even if he always can never stand an ounce of me. ;-)
Without wanting to be rude weasel boy, I'd LIKE to believe you.
But, based on your past behavior, I can't and I don't.
You have obviously studied how to manipulate people weasel boy.
Your MO, (the so called "the carrot and the stick"), is obvious and long known.
In fact weasel boy, your spit flecked hate, alternating with your often expressed contempt and bile playing constant counterpoint to your faux "reasonableness" and faux "respect" is classic abuser behavior.
It won't work on me weasel boy.
I actually have a brain, and I even know how to use it.
Not to mention the years of experience I have dealing with EXACTLY the same sort of person you are.
IMO you are not an honest person.
I don't believe anything you say.
EVER.
(BTW weasel I don't hate you, I hate your politics and your ACT. You as an individual mean nothing to me. IMO you are just a standard issue slack jawed libTURD whore. I'd have no problem lifting a glass with you, until you tried to go into your act. Then ... well ..., we'd work it out; I'd INSIST.)
