swampedout Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Good people of the garagemahal, Ive been busy these past months and havent had much posting time but I hope everyones doing well. On one of my rare social interactions recently, a friend asked me what my plans were for the Bullnose, since Ive had it a couple years now and he assumed I spent a lot of time and mo ney on it. I assumed I had spent a lot of time and money because thats what happens when you own old trucks. Ive replaced a battery, spark plugs, brake MC and booster, voltage regulator and thats abt it. So far I know for certain I have way less than $500 in parts and its never seen the inside of a shop since Ive owned it. It could use new tires and a transmission and I got to do the drum brakes soon but Ive hauled more than 10,000 gallons of water, towed two or three other trucks, building materials, yanked a neighbor out of a ditch, commuted for half a year and just wont quit. Its no beauty queen but I bought it to do exactly what its been doing. I know there comes a time for every truck where something leaks, overheats or falls apart but knock on wood if I can get a couple more easy months out of it, its going to start getting the overhaul it deserves. So if you dont see me posting on here for a while, take it as a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thanks for checking in! Glad things are going well and, in a way, I hope we don't hear from you for a while if that means things are continuing to go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machspeed Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Awesome.....enjoyed the read. Your comments mimic the work I've poured into my Bull. It's been a great truck and deserving of the work and effort I've put in to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
