  1. Greetings, While on I-65, Southbound, about 50 miles north of Mobile, AL, I spotted a sweet White Volvo 780 pulling a multi-colored fiver going northbound. Due to traffic and rate of closure, I did not get a great look at it. It was actually hard to see until at about the 1030 to 1000 position, then, it was clearly evident it was an HDT pulling a fiver. If that was you, here's a virtual wave for you. Hope your travels are safe, fun and fulfilling.
  2. If any of the broken screw is sticking out, a pair of vise grips may do the trick. Otherwise, a screw extractor set may be required. Perhaps soaking it with some WD40 or PB Blaster for a couple of days may help when it comes time to remove the broken piece. Not certain of the situation of the broken screw but, perhaps you can grip it from the backside in order to remove it?
  3. The build looks great! Welcome!
  4. We use AeroData at work. Glad I was in training this week instead of at work. Don't know if our flights were affected. That might have been an unwelcome busy day.
  5. Greetings Mr. Cob!  I just browsed through your Peterbilt pictures on your smugmug link.  What a great looking truck!  It looks like your bed built went really well too.  Simple Elegance sir!  I also enjoyed seeing the comments on almost all of your pictures.  It's a nice touch that helps to explain what's going on.  Thank you for taking the time to document your build!  Jim.

  6. Hello everyone! New guy here. I thought I would go ahead and register for the forum. I love big trucks and I cannot lie. I have lurked on and off for a couple of years and have enjoyed reading about the HDT, their conversions and their uses. While my wife and I do not camp, we like the idea of it. We've been a few times with friends that had a fiver before they moved. I love the idea of having an HDT rig pull a nice fiver. I've been checking out commercial truck trader and truck paper on-line looking at what I think I would like to have. We went to a local sales office last year and got an initial novice look at a Volvo 780 and a Pete 387. This may stay in the dream / planning stage for a while but I intend to learn about the trucks and conversions. So, in the meantime, I will enjoy your stories, absorb what I can and make sure I don't buy a truck with a hole in the floor. Thanks, Jim
