Beautiful. Even the 150's had solid axles front and back back then. Dana 44 in the front and the bulletproof Ford 9" rear diff. The only difference was the rear axles in the 150's weren't full floaters like the 250's and 350's. The rear diffs were full floater Dana 60's in the 250's and 350's...

You are good sir ! It was an early 60's Falcon Ranchero. Looked mint from my seat inside Allen's. There was another car to the left and I cannot remember what it was other than a 70's something. I was too fixated on theF-250. :) The place is or was called Unique Motors. I find Google hits for...

I got a little teary-eyed Saturday night in New Gretna. I was eating dinner at Allen's Clam Bar and across the street there is an old service garage with a few classic vehicles out front. Lo and behold, the best pickup ever made in the history of this universe was staring at me while I was...

Old Jersey Girl, Digiscoping is using a spotting scope, or even binoculars, with your cell phone mounted to the eyepiece to obtain long distance photos and videos. There are several manufacturers for the mounting bracket apparatus with Phoneskope probably being the most popular. I have this...

Early this morning I noticed there were no birds at the feeder. Very unusual this time of year. I looked out back and I saw why. A big Red-tailed Hawk was perched in an oak eyeballing the area. I was able to put my spotter and tripod together and digiscoped these with my phone. A beautiful and...

They were used often in industrial applications German. I have seen them used in large trash pumps, agricultural irrigation pumps and large generators too. They were simple and durable. I sold my '87 F350 to a landscaper in 1997 with 170,000 on the odo and he ran it 5 more years. He later sold...

My '82 and '87 Ford trucks had the 300 cu. in inline 6. Now that was a motor. Torque to the moon. Ford had to get rid of it because they ran forever. ;)

I'm certainly no import truck guy, proven by a long-documented life history but I did like my son Mike's old Toyota. It had a manual tranny and the 22 RE. It was an indestructible beater truck that I used to use down here in P'town to hunt and trap some deep woods spots that would have...

Packing lunch maybe. You're in the wrong State for packing anything else. :D

I still try to do as much as possible myself on my '02 and '97 trucks such as oil changes, diff and transfer case fluids, brake jobs and other basics like cap and rotor and plugs in my '97 F350. (What's a cap and rotor kids ? :)). I no longer mess with the serious stuff like tie rod ends, ball...

My family and I spent 10 days in Yellowstone about 15 years ago bouncing back and forth between Montana and Wyoming. We did a lot of hiking and fishing and I brought my Smith 29 in .44 mag with me everywhere I went. No special permits or licenses are needed for open carry in either State or...

Wow. 14 kids, 42 grandkids and 57 great-grandkids and 2 great-great-grandkids. All that by the age of 84. That is an amazing legacy to leave behind on this earth.

Or in my case: "Is there anyone in your family, extended family, including household pets, who does not own a firearm ?" :)

The tree is not a maple. My best guess is a fairly mature black gum,(Nyssa sylvatica) especially if you were in a wet area.

Cigars and pipes are included. Here is the law: https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2018/Bills/PL18/64_.PDF If you really want to see some crazy stuff go to the NJ Legislature website and search smoking and tobacco as the bill subject subject. There is one that intends to ban only menthol cigarettes...

What a bunch of shit. This State is doomed. I used to smoke and switched to loose leaf chewing tobacco over thirty years ago. (Chewing tobacco is so much healthier. :)) I suppose chew will be the next target because the tobacco juice dribbled through my beard might offend someone. After all...
