Just ONE first gen? The king of all Cummins powered trucks?!?!?

Now that just lit a fire under my.........rear end to get mine on the road!

Glad to hear you guys had a good time! Sorry again I couldn't make it.

Maybe I can have it all together for the GTG @ pistol's place. I'll even bring meine deutsche frau mit mir!

 

Well yea, since you didnt show, I had to bear the responsibility of bringing a REAL truck to the truck meeting......all by myself....Duct-taped fender, leaking axle seal and all..

GET YOUR TRUCK RUNNING !!!!!!!!

also drop me an email so I can get you on our mailing list....

 

Here's the last 2 shots I have.

 

WOW, thats a good looking truck..........

 

Thought you might like that one.

 

On teh way home, The BOSS said she might like to get a CTD, and wondered if you wanted to sell yours......... I told her yours probably didnt have heated seats.........

 

That seems to be the #1 thing on the wife's list if she gets a truck. we have been thinking about buying another truck with a manual for towing the horses and this truck to events. Guess I'll have to buy aftermarket seat heaters and install them myself. Can't afford a new truck with leather and heat at the moment. She wouldn't like driving my truck. The throttle is a " little " touchy.

 

HAHA One of the things that realy go tme laughing Saturday... you were talking to someone about your tranny, adn Diane/Karen wre talking, and all the sudden I heard karen say.." it was suppossed to be MY truck....."

 

Yep, We traded her car for it. And she originally drove it for the first year or two while I was still driving my Suburban. She says the next truck we buy is hers. But she wants it modded a little also. She likes driving a truck more than a car. But we currently ride to work together and the car gets 27 mpg. We're having a hard time deciding on whether to buy another truck or buy a TDI Volkswagon for our commute and put twins on the truck so I can still tow heavy with more fuel as the truck is getting upgraded again this Spring sometime.

 

It was just funny coming out of the blue .............Diane talked abou twhat she wants in her truck all the way home, then as we pulled in teh driveway, the 125lb German Shepard leapt over the tail gate into the truck bed and she swore she isnt getting a truck until we get rid of the dog......

 

Shucks Chris....Thanks! I really appreciate that, but I should have shut my rear door!! IF I had known Mike was gonna snap that pic I would have!


It was nice to see a 1st gen there too, though.













<jk>

 

I had a great time at the get together. Even though I am a big person I can still move fast when I have to. And I'm not sure but I think I had the only other 12 valve at the get together. I'm hoping to get my KDP tabbed next week maybe even start on it this weekend.

 

UH-uh, First comes fixing the KDP then you'll want a bigger charger, then a DD south bend clutch then.......... Your slipping down the slope Ash.

 

Come on Chris - get the heated seats. You're using the BOSS as a scapegoat... But, we all know your just dying to settle your tail into that nice warm leather.

I had a great time getting to know everyone... And, I heard a few tall tales about some of those who didn't show up. Looking forward to the next gig.

 

Alrighty .... Mrs. Pistol and I checked the calendar this morning and figger that the weekend of April 28th would work the best for us to have a GTG at our place in Mtn. Grove, Mo. Can we get a show of hands who thinks they can make it on that weekend ??

Our plan is to have a quick meet & greet followed by a short "take care of chapter business" meeting and the get on with the grub, beverages and tire kickin' !!!

If you own kids ... PLEASE BRING EM !!! We have plenty of room for them to run around (I will have the chore list, hammers and shovels standing by ).


I was thinking about the May GTG ..... we have Memorial Day on the 28th ... if there is some kind of public celebration happening in your neck of the woods that you think the rest of us might enjoy ... maybe we can put something together for the chapter. Give it some thought and fire me your ideas !!

Mike ... what do you have planned for us at the June GTG in Rogersville ??

Cheers,
PISTOL
