Hi Everyone, Anyone know how Road Fitter is doing ? Have not seen any post from Ken for a long time. I was just curious to know if Pat and Ken are doing good in these difficult times. Al

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the videos. That brings me to a thought or too. I have a friend who built a twin turbo LS and put it into a 70 1/2 Camaro. That was about 2 1/2 years ago. The car is a real sleeper. It's a driver. You would not have an idea what is under the hood. It puts out around 775 hp to the rear wheels. My friend did all the fab work himself. Al

That little car is going to be so cool !!! 😎 👍👍 I wonder if the car is finished. Thanks Larry for posting. Al

Hi Dan, Glad to see you are home. I have been thinking about you. Stay safe my friend. Al

Hi Everyone, Things in northeast Ohio are good. The governor of Ohio wants everyone to wear a mask when out in the public. The only time you need to be out is to get supplies. My grand kids are doing on line classes right now. My oldest grandson goes to Kent State ( his classes are also on line ) and he also works in a nursing home. I need to go to the store tomorrow for supplies. The nice thing is that I can get into the store early because of my age. I also stay in touch with the kids thru my smart phone. 😎 Stay save everyone, Al

Maybe the 730 has an upper bunk. I know a 680 or 780 would. I know my 630 does not have an upper bunk.

Hi Brad, Thank you for sharing your pictures. 👍

Hi Chad, So sorry to hear about one of your co-workers. Be safe, Al

Tks. 😎

Thanks Rick. I think we all needed to hear that from what is going on in the world. 😎

Hi Everyone, A little update on the bed of the truck. Right now the bed is on hold. Do to the order from the governor of Ohio wanting everyone to stay in place. I need to buy some more materials to keep going. But with the order I can wait for a little bit. It would be nice to keep going. The weather is getting nicer. Al

Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for the input. Things sound promising. Part of the plan is to use a single strap over every tire. I already have the straps and ratchets. Thanks Roger for the pictures. Pictures are always a big help for me. A picture is worth a 1,000 words. Please keep the input coming. Al

Hi Everyone, I was curious to know what would be the minimum length for a bed for a Smart Car ( from divers side to passengers side ). Could 96" work ? Just trying to get ideas together. Thanks for any input, Al

Hi Everyone, This is an interesting question. You could say I am a hermit. I am a widower of 11 1/2 years and have been retired now for 7 years. My pick-up truck does not move for days. There is most days I won't even talk to anyone or see anyone. I see my neighbor mostly on the weekends. I also live on 5 1/2 acres. Most of my neighbors have 5 1/2 acres. So you can see there is a distance between the houses. But I get by. I have a smart phone and I sent text's to my grand kids. The only bad thing with what is going on in Ohio is that all spring sports are cancelled. All my grand kids are into sports and that is one way I can get to see them, is to go to their sport. Remember, live is good. Al

Hello SWharton, I hope this helps. The following statement was part of my letter from the Census Bureau. "If you need help completing your 2020 Census questionnaire, please call toll-free 1-844-330-2020". Good luck, Al

Hi LostSoul, I hope this helps. My truck has 3 wires. Yellow wire is fog lights, red wire is driving lights, and black wire is ground. I also upgraded the fog lights to Deep Space LED fog light. Good luck on your project, Al

You're killing me Rick !!!. LOL

Hi Robert, I like the looks of your truck from the link you provided. It sounds like you will be removing the interior of your truck to add windows. I just want to throw this idea out to you. Have you thought about adding any sound deadening material to the side walls and floor ? I don't have any pictures of the interior of my truck but I added sound deadening material and Reflectix bubble insulation to my cab, even on the cab ceiling (the rear half only). I used 3M Super 77 adhesive on the bubble insulation to hold it onto the sound deadening material. If you think that you are going the remove the seats and seat belts be careful removing the seat belt bolts. They are only spotted welded in place. When I removed mine, It was a two man job. I was under the truck with a propane touch and the other person inside the cab with a ratchet. Best of luck working on your truck, Al

Hi Everyone, I can feel for Carl. I know this was not and easy decision to make. It probably kept him up at night. Carl also talks about the HDT group as family. When you have a family you do everything in your power to protect them. Thank You Carl and Donna for what you folks do for the rally. Al

Hi Randy, Your story made my day ! LOL. Al

Hi Carl, 2X that Nigel said. I"ll support you what ever you decide to do. See you in April. Al

Hi Orange, Welcome to the forum. 2X on the research guide. A lot of great info. There are several HDT rallies during the year. You might want to think about going to one. You don't need a truck to go to the rallies, just a list of questions and the desire. What part of the county are you in ? Best of luck, Al

2X on the bridge reamer. That's how I did my holes. Go slow and use a cutting fluid to help keep the reamer cool.

Hi Everyone, A little update you guys might get a kick out of. I found some prices on line of other tire pressure systems. Prices are from Amazon; * EEZ Tire - TPMS 10 B ( 10 sensors + booster, 3 year warranty ) $ 514 * TST 507 ( 10 sensors + color display, 3 year warranty ) $ 589 * Tire Minder ( 10 sensors + B&L display ) $ 545 Prices from TST Truck System * TST 507 ( 10 sensors + B&L display ) $ 648 * TST 507 20% trade-in price $ 519 Sort of shows that the trade-in for 20% off is not much of a deal. Not much incentive to buy from TST or even buy a TST system. I just wanted to post some prices and get some thoughts. Good or bad opinions is ok with me. Al

Hi Carl, Thanks for the idea. I bought my 510 system back in 2015. At one time I needed to have a couple sensors replaced under warranty because they lost a signal. The total life of my system is just going on 5 years. If you need to replace the 510 system with an other system shows me my original system was of poor quality. That's probably the reason there is no 510 systems for sale anymore. Very disappointing. I wonder where you would make the cut to get the cap off of a 510 sensor ? With my luck I would cut in the wrong place a ruin the whole sensor. Anyone ever cut open a 510 sensor ? Could be a video out there. I'll try to check. Please keep the input coming, Al
