Hey all you gotta do is hook Max to the behemoth and it won't crush you! Then you can spend a fortune and send it to me!-LOL! Would you want some pics of bolt on brackets? The bumper I am going to convert to look more like yours came off a '64 Chevy pickup so frame rail configuration may be the same.

That's a cool and entertaining writeup on the seat belt install. Thanks. I should probably put some in the '55 but haven't gotten to that yet. It actually has some old military surplus aircraft belts in it with a 1959 date printed on them but the floor mounts aren't reinforced well enough to use where they are bolted to the cab floor.

Later---DAC
YES!!!

Pics of the brackets would help a bunch! No rush, I'm not really excited about tearing the bumper off, but if it does give me trouble I might need to.

1959 seatbelts,

I bet those are awesome! Neat thing about seatbelts is they last forever. You might be able to put a steel plate on the bottom, kinda like a brace bar to get your seatbelts to stick safely. I've seen steel flat bars that would blend really well if they were shaped on the ends and welded on thickly.

I always get a chuckle reading your posts Pepsi but I really enjoy your munchkin helper she will have those memory's all her life and that's just so cool to think about. My Daughter grew up at a time when it was not possible
to do that because her mom was very negative about my hobby. You are a lucky man Pepsi and I envy that with pride. Also wanted to thank you for the help with my mac and the up side down picture you had the right answer...Vernski

Yay we got the pics fixed! Sorry about the wife problems. I've been there and it ain't easy. I did it little by little and even now The Blonde gets irritated from time to time. "Honey, that's about enough of the other woman out there" she says lol. I think it's just part of being married. Hills and valleys.

Hello Fetch,

When snow fell the day after other-rides-and-projects wood splitter (forgot her given name, though you may have called her what I call all my welding projects, "Daily Grind") got coat number eight of hand rubbed candy apple lacquer and you headed to the wood lot, I figured we wouldn't hear much of Cecilia for a week or two while Fetch and the youngsters gathered Kansas wood for fireside stories. Then, after a couple of months into the winter of winters, rumors began circulating: Fetch was spending every daylight hour trying to keep his pipes from freezing. Whew, it's a relief that you and the Powder Puff found time to dig out from the snowdrifts, create Ol' Marty McSales, and do your piece on, "Sweety Seat Anti-Run Device". I've read it three times and am still laughing out loud. Thank you--for your past writing/illustrating, for this piece, and for the alertness jolt I get anticipating your next creation. (If I didn't say I've learned a ton of truck stuff and been inspired, I should have.)

Regards,

Thanks Culver I'm happy to entertain a true troubadour! I kinda tried something different with Marty McSales, but it was fun

We call the woodsplitter the "log dog" now. I can't remember if it's always had that name, but that's the one that stuck. She got used again a couple of weeks ago splitting some cottonwood that the neighbors donated to her feeding dish. Still working great

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
