Moose - 86 CCLB 7.3/ZF5 Dually

Hey guys! Had this truck a few years, decided i have made enough progress to post here. Posting on mobile, might take a few tries to get these pictures right.
 The day I found and traded for it. Drove three hours, truck had to be pull started. Bad vacuum pump, so drove it three hours home with nearly no brakes.  Few weeks later. Installed bull bar, cleaned up some.  New tires, wheels painted white, other misc updates.  Night shot, after getting all my lights working finally.  West coast mirrors, leveling kit, and a whole bunch of electrical work. |

Welcome! Glad you joined!
 Looks like you got the pic-posting thing down. Good job.  Nice truck. Looks very solid. However, there's a minor problem - when you joined we should have asked you to make your first post in the New Members Start Here folder. That's because we keep the guidelines there and want to ensure you've had a chance to read them. You didn't post there, but that's not a biggee - assuming you can assure me you've seen the guidelines. We hold everyone to the guidelines as we have young members, or at least young perusers, like my grandchildren who are currently 10. So we just want to ensure everyone has seen the guidelines. Where's home? We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city/state or zip.

Hi Ryan!
Nice job! May I suggest that you add a signature (Account settings -> Edit your signature), with short description of your truck? Seems that your truck as a cousin here named Darth.  I too have a Crew Cab (although not a dual wheel), so with you, our group of "big boys" is growing!

Looking good, Ryan! With those marker lights and lights on the mirrors you'll look like an 18-wheeler coming.

Lol! No, Jim, I don’t suggest to create a sub-group for Loooong-Bullnoses. Just knowing who else shares the same challenge when parking these monsters at the grocery would be fine. And maybe a special section in the library where to share our tips for repairing, maintaining or restoring the «behind driver’s seat» cabin section (for exemple ceiling vault, carpet, doors & windows).

Baby’s Club? Basketball Club? Or maybe BBC Bye Bye Club? Can you precise, while respecting the “Family oriented" Forum Guidelines? (You know I’m just a little frenchie Quebecer who doesn’t always catch English language linguistic subtleties).  If not possible Jim, you can always email me directly.

Ah, ok!
 Wasn’t sure if you were referring to the difficulty to park these machines, mainly for the dual wheels crew cabs, so long and “very large”. Thanks Jim for teaching me the right english!

I welcome you to interpret the above however you like...
 I assume in French it would be C-C C?

Well, Jim, maybe one of these days, around a good drink, we could discuss about some funny misinterpretation and comic translation mistakes.
Guaranteed fun and laughs!
