but i was wondering if it was like when my son totaled my old IHC pickup

we went down to the accident and my son keep the state trooper between me and him as he explained what happened lol
the trooper got to laughing so hard that he had to sit down lol
son was seventeen or so lol
friends said it looked like we was playing ring round the rosy

anyway all i wanted was to make sure he was ok but it took his mom to reassure him that the world wasn't ending that evening lol god love kids

loved that old truck in fact where the devil is that kid rofl

No the kid is fine just a half asleep kid not paying close attention..

OK here he goes. Here is the new mount all bolted in place with grade 8 blots.


The boy got more done tonight..Here are the old and new U-Bolts I got the new ones made at a local semi truck repair shop..


Putting them back in..



Well the son has learned another good lesson from all this.. The law of Action and Reaction. Problem.. What happens when you hit a object very hard and it puts lots of TORK on the gear box?? Thats right it blows the upper seal out of the box so he will be going to get a reman one tomorrow..
