MMiller,

Were you working on something where they're working between Ottumwa and Agency? I don't go that way, since their doing working on the Agency/Hedrick road. One good thing about working for Altorfers, definite job security! I don't have a Cummins yet, hoping to find one after I get my loan, but tools will take the most of that.

Eric,



Where at in Afghanistan are you? I was just there this time last year at Bagram.

Within the next week or so there will be a 91 f350 dually with a Cummins in it running around Ottumwa. It's one of my friends trucks and we're finishing it in school. The engine's out of a 93.

 

[MMiller]

Is there anything left of the 93? If he needs some help tweaking it, I know a little about first gen engines. :-laf



Michael

 

[TWilkening]

Nothing left. The just boght the engine out of it. The truck's actually been sitting for a couple years. When they got a reman pump, they had it turned up. If he still had the '93 I'd take a bite at it. I need a freakin' Cummins!

Hey Benhall,

Did you ever make it back to the dee zee store? I live just a couple miles south of there and can stop in to get stuff for ya, or anyone else for that matter. They do usually have some pretty good deals on tool boxes, nerf bars, and running boards. Problem is they never know what is going to be coming in each week as the items are "seconds. " I have bought a couple of things there and never really found the flaw, but after a month or stuff gets scrathced or dirty anyway. Just let me know what you are looking for and the year/type of truck.

Here is the name and Number of the place:



Lancaster Colony Factory Outlet Store

Major

Well, now that I know what it looks like, it will be a little easier to notice.

 

[benhall]

Major,



No, I never made it to dsm when I was back in Iowa on leave in July. I don't even know if I will make it up there when I go back up there for Turkey Day. I will be in the Mt. Pleasant/New London area for two weeks, but before I get there, I am running up to Minn. to pick up my 82 Crew Cab.
