BigBrother-84

I fully agree! Welcome!

Wow! I am jalous! I look forward for spring time, for a good ride with BigBro. But here, it's still winter. Maybe because the restoration is now ended, I don't know, but this year I find the winter VERY long!

Well, finally cannot find anywhere. Seems to be really rare!

Hi David, Thanks for this hint! I sent an info request to the seller. We'll see.

Hi gentlemen! Looking for OEM top bed rails. Dennis Carpenter sells the 6' bed replica, but 8' kit is b.o. with no restocking date. Used rails in good shape would be fine. Dennis Carpenter sells the attachement kit, so no need for a complete kit, just the long bed rails would be fine. Any suggestions? Thanks! https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/trucks/body/bed/d3tz-9932230-c-oskitpickup-bed-top-side-r

Hi, Wanna have fun, US friends? Just exercise to pronounce my name: Jean-François Parent. So, you'll provably prefer my nickname Jeff (comes from J-F). My ID is the name of my old restored friend, explained in my signature.

Man, if you're willing to extend your collection out of US states, I probably have a Quebec plate somewhere on my barn workbench. For free, of course. Just have to pay the shipping fees.

Wow! Looks like manufactured one!

I LOVE these clean wiring. Did the same for Big Brother, wires well protected, easy to follow.

Contrat! Very nice and clean job!

Contrat Carl, very nice truck! For Doc John, please tell me Carl is FEBUARY winner! http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/uploads/6/5/8/7/65879365/head-rotfl-57x22_orig.gif http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/uploads/6/5/8/7/65879365/laughing-25-x-25_orig.gif I am wondering if I simply dreamed about approaching spring! Spent my weekend blowing away that never ending winter!

Thanks my friends! I appreciate this TOM rendez-vous, it's a good excuse for all of us to share pics of our beloved Bullnoses. Thanks for your time John! I hope that members will continue to support TOM and enjoy these sharing moments!

Ok, I'll say something probably completely stupid... But, does Lucille pulls to the left on ANY road? I had Big Brother pulling to the right on some streets here, and found that it goes straight on the highway and some other roads. Some streets have slopes or are domed enough to make the truck pulls one side, even in a straight part. It saved me an alignment job.

Nice tool! Thanks for the hint!

Hi gentlemen! Where is the right place to connect vacuum gauge on a 351w with a stock carb? I suppose directly on the manifold, but can someone precise the placement? Maybe a pic? Thanks!

Is this a Frankenstein assembly or a Photoshop strange hobby?

You bet! It is a chance that Classic Consoles offers the "Shorty" version, otherwise the «multiple sticks» commands would be continuously conflicting. Just ask the third guy occasionally sitting on center bench, not very funny for him

It arrived today! Totally satisfied, colors I've chosen fit perfectly (two tones). I look forward to have a good ride with Big Brother, but this won't happen until next spring (absolutely no chance that I put him on our salted winter roads).

Yep. Here we call it «to ride on square tires».

Since now 20 days, weather is unusually VERY cold here. Day 0°F, night -20°F (often -31°F). Here's a picture of the interior 2 1/2" wood thick frosted doors, between "temperate" stable and "cold" barn sections. And one of the cats conviced that it is not worth looking for mice out of the iced pet flap door. Although BigBrother is a tough guy and was already equipped with a block heater, he had its battery hard frozen (just one year old). So, in a snow strom, I went buy a new one. Plus a maintenance charger. Plus a battery heater. Hey. Comme on Cold Winter. We're ready now.

Why not custom made gasket using some neoprene sticky weather strip?

For the same 8' box, diffrence OAL between Crew and Super is 13.3 inches. I suppose all this "extra" space is behind the driver's seat, since these trucks have same hood, front cabin and rear 8' bed.

Hi, Here is p.17 of 1984 brochure.

Sorry for your friend Gary. I spare a thought for his loved ones and relatives.
