I don't know yet. I told her I'd look around to see if I could even find a manufacturer and go from there. I may end up calling postalthings, tho I DID find a company that makes a hydraulically actuated brake pedal but no gas pedal.

Tell her to do like our higher class of postal carriers do around here.

Remove all the front seats and sit on a 5 gallon bucket in the middle. You can still reach the pedals and the mail box.

Problem solved.

You think Im joking, ask Rog.

Except for Mr. Doug, he actually has one of them old jeeps still.

This lady is rather, um, 'large'... if she tried to sit on a bucket I think it would just disappear!

I'm still looking too. Lots of 'accessories', but no kits, like you say. If I have to, I'll go to the PO tomorrow and just ask. They must know.

Thanks guys, the vet has another treatment they wanna try but if it doesn't work the wife and I are gonna put him down. He's eating well so if this doesn't work out at least in his last couple days he can eat his favorite foods and relax.

Hope the vet can help him too! Sorry someone is stealing from the food pantry. If you need security I have a very good shot from a long distance.

The wife and I said the same thing the other night. We figured his 7 months with us we probably the best he's had in the 5 or 6 years he's been alive.



Evening everyone. got alot accomplished at work today. Ran the bobcat again, ran the articulated wheel loader, and did some maintenace to the coal handling equipment. Been a good week at work but I'm really looking forward to the 3-day weekend!

Been relaxing this afternoon after I got off work. Worked in the garden a bit and had a few brews.

Scott, Postal Things lists a kit for the S10 Blazer. I did not see a price though. http://www.postalthings.com/#list You may be able to use a boat accelerator pedal, many of them are cable and floor mounted.

Well... I guess the word is getting out. Just had a neighbor down the road knock on the door... needs help with his car. No worries, just a fuel filter and some wheel caps...
