I don't understand how all your Canadian Snakes, Spiders and Wasps can survive in an environment like that?

What problem do you have with White Anglo Saxon Protestants, and why are you surprised that they survive?

LMAO!! Not only do we survive, Charlie, but we're just biding our time before taking over the world....

Of course, if you were just referring to that ingenious Canadian creation involving a suitably-modified Universal Carrier.... er.... then actually I suppose the same could be said....

Eric, when you asked "is it normal to have this part on a F15A" that's the stopper for the overload springs. I don't think the 15 cwts came out with overloads and they are post-military additions for when farmers wanted to haul grain, etc. I just looked at 8 of my 15 cwts and 5 of them have had the overloads installed. No two have the same stopper setup. A few have stoppers off civilian 2 or 3 tons but most have a home made fabrication. (or should I say fornication?)

Hi Eric

Well glad to se you can at least find the Blitz

We had another 2" of snow today, silly stuff wish we could send it all to Texas as I heard they need the water, good riddens !

If you like me you cant wait to get puttering on your truck
seems like it takes us Canadians twice as long to get something done as we have only have half the year in which to do it unless you have the MEGA heater real Canadian garage for the winter.

LOL

Keep us in the loop Eric ..........
