i dunno how you guys wear gloves all the time thatd drive me nuts.. they last like 2 minutes with me then i get tired of not being able to feel anything properly

 

[Josh40601]

I see you got the new DD in the pictures Rick. lol

 

[RangerSVT]

Yeah, for now anyways...Can't wait to get my truck back on the road and drive it again...reminds me of when it was down for the V8 swap, it was almost a year it was down then, but the actual V8 swap only took me a couple weeks, and a week and a half of that was waiting for parts...
SVT

 

[Josh40601]

Why don't you drive the Chief car instead of one of the biggest vehicles on the road? lol

 

[RangerSVT]

A car can't go places I go with SVT !! A couple weeks ago my department was dispatched to a mutual aid forest fire call in a neighboring county...It was at least an 1/8 mile off any accessible road to any fire apparatus, only way in was on foot and a 4 wheeler....And SVT I know SVT will take me to any fire in the county or surrounding county, as well as haul the rescue boat or recover a stuck ambulance!! Thinking of building a slightly modified response truck for the same duties (the ST), mild lift, 33" MT's winch front and rear, selectable lockers...I might even design/build a small skid unit to slide in the bed of the ST for remote forest fires

[Josh40601]

i know that, i am talking about driving a car instead of that fire truck while SVT is down. lol

 

[RangerSVT]

Ahh, well, I would if I had one, I never got one for my department...I have a volunteer department, so I don't have a large budget. We work off of fundraisers and donations (which isn't much)...
SVT

 

[Josh40601]

ahh. Now it all makes sense. We have a volunteer department too in Lawrenceburg.

 

[Josh40601]

BTW, you or Jon ever find a 7.3 alternator?

 

[RangerSVT]

Back in 2004 It took all the funds we had to buy the truck you see in the back ground...And no, we haven't hit the JY yet....I haven't forgot about ya :icon_thumby:
SVT

 

[Josh40601]

The ST going to be new brush truck?

Well, once SVT is done. And this is done. And Fordzilla is done. And the EB is done. And whatever else i forgot to mention is done.

 

[RangerSVT]

Uhhmmmmmm, yeah. Actually, the ST only needs a trans and a driveshaft before its driveable...
SVT

 

[Josh40601]

So i take it that it will be moving up up the line?

Still got that buddy with the eb's?

 

[RangerSVT]

Actually, the one I was thinking of got rid of it, but I know where a couple more are at, just need to go talk to them, don't worry, when your ready for it, I'll find ya one :icon_thumby:
SVT

 

[disciplerocks]

Why not fix the ST first?

 

[RangerSVT]

I don't have the trans or the shaft....SVT I have most of the parts, just gotta do the work..Next trip to the JY I make I will scout for a trans while I'm there....

This projects getting moved to Alabama so it's on a HUGE hold again, probably till next winter. After just a couple days in Alabama, I see that I really need to get down there to help out Dad. He's 73, had a stroke a few years ago, and there's 1200-1400 hay bales to get for winter cow feed. So looks like I'm going to have to get moved as he starts cutting here in the next couple weeks. Enough time for me to get done in Texas, back to KY, get stuff packed and moved south!

 

[disciplerocks]

Bummer man. But it will be waiting for ya. Family can't.
