Announcing a Loss and an Addition

[tugboatphil]

Greenleaf has been doing some serious work on my truck, and in a need to repay him, I have signed over the title of 'ol Blue. He is now the owner of a "brand new" 90 D250 with 304k miles. She has been sitting in my yard for a few years now since her differential gears fell apart. GL has located a donor 3. 07 rear end in Michigan and will bring it down this summer, to drive her home.



I removed 'ol Blue from my sig line last week and he has since picked it up. Blue was my first diesel and I hate to see her go, but I would have probably never gotten her back to roadworthy condition.

Phil,



It will be a site to see you drive her again this summer, Lord willing. I suppose I'll allow you to drive the dually a few more years untill I take that too. :--)

Is there such thing as a 1st gen fetish? All these guys with more than one 1st gen :-laf .

 

[paccool]

This is cool!



At least I get to see a pic of a couple of guys I have talked with on the computer a time or two! Maybe one of these days we'll get to meet somewhere.

I would`nt call it a fetish Bill, in my case i just like to "collect" them... . sorta like paper clips, or bottle caps and stuff,LOL

 

[PToombs]

You guys with more than one gotta be careful! I had to sell my '89 w250, the green machine kept climbing on to mate with it! :--) I didn't want little 3. 9's running around and it upset the neighbors.

Hey Bill,



The real reason most folks own two 1st gens is for spare parts and recovery. Say one of my 1st gens takes a crap somewhere I can either rob a part off the other truck, or hitch up the goooseneck and go get it. Fortunately I haven't had to do that yet. But I have had to haul a second gen b/c the lift pump died (back to why I own two 1st gens ).



GL, congrats on the new truck. Is the Mrs. going to drive hers out this fall?

[Greenleaf]

I hope so. We'll see how the thing acts prior to setting the two of them loose ... . alone together... ...

Jeremy oh yes I know this. I really regret trading my 91 W250 CTD off, really wish I could've just bought the crew and kept the 91. Its ok, got another CTD on the way soon from Oklahoma lol.
