    If you want to run an air line for air tools and you don't have an extra port on your air tank, or can't hook it up that way for whatever reason... Air hose with the fitting for tools on one end and a gladhand connection on the other. Hook it up to the trailer supply line and open the valve, there you go! I found it handy for airing up tires or using a blow gun to blow the dirt out of the cab!

    Don't worry about toggling the jake-brake all the time. I started out on an old Mac hauling water, and it was religion working that toggle so you wouln't stall out. First truck though I learned to shift and jake in reverse haha. Boy she sounds good pulling a load and happy as a Cat doing it. The old Pete needed it's day again. Just like any old prized fighter, bow legged seaman or old blue collared guy out there; we just want that chance to prove to ourselves we can still do what we're meant to be doing. There's purpose to that. Thanks for the ride along and your paid actors for helping out :)

  • @rayjones654
    @rayjones654 2 года назад +10

    Hey Mark great to see you pulling with little by little. Be cool if you could find a older lowboy or low deck for little by little for when you get your projects or want to take two trucks to a show. Keep trucking God bless 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    Congrats Mark for finding your Snowman Trailer. It will make an impressive display. I noticed you have "E Track" at the back of the trailer. You could make a removable fake wall of Coors secured to a couple load bars attached to the E track.

    @werewolf2003002 2 года назад +8

    As much as I love the sound of those jakes (and I do!), I would like to see you demonstrate the brakesaver at some point as well. It's a fascinating system, and the fact that you have both at your disposal means LBL is just that much more badass. Awesome to see that old trailer on the road again as well.

  • @КонстантинБолгов-ь6о

    Hello Mark. I can't imagine what did you feel when he was driving this beautiful truck with trailer, when you spent so much time and money and you driving this truck at last. I don't know who was happiness better you or me when i saw how you're happy and how you enjoy rolling . Thanks for such sincere emotions. Keep on doing the good job.

    I haven't smiled like while driving a truck for many years.

    Just as a trick for the air hose is get a glad hand than you hook you air hose to your teailer red hose than push your trailer brake button to get air. Problem with fitting down on tank is they tend to rust up

    • @Mouthy_Trucker
      @Mouthy_Trucker 2 года назад +1

    Hey Mark. I have a suggestion it comes to paint. Maybe you can paint the hood, cab and roof blue ,but keep the fenders white. I would like to hear what you think of that colour combination, for Little by Little. Once again thanks for making my Thursday’s enjoyable.

    Mount an AC on the front of the trailer under the Thermo King shell so when you're sitting in the trailer drinking Coors you can have air conditioning.

    Surprised that you didn't give it a little 'safety tug' before you hooked up the air and raised the landing gear. Going to be a good replica when it's finished!

    Are trans ams really that much on that side of the pond!, some go for around £20,000 here in the uk. I guess they're not as desirable here but goodness knows why. I found one signed by Burt Reynolds himself and that was going for £90,000

    Here's a story about your Coors. It gets packed in a 53' container in Colorado and hops a train to Chicago. Then it's gets hauled to a repack facility, the one I delivered to was in south central Michigan. They take it out of 24 pack cases and put in 15 packs for export to Canada. It makes perfect sense. But, anyway, that was an awesome trip!

    Mark there is a possibilty your (LBL) slack adjusters were installed on the wrong sides. Yours is the first time I've ever seen, a slack adjuster mounted with, the adjuster nut between the chamber and slack adjuster. Take a look at your's and other equipment.

    @ladyknieval Год назад

    I'm starting to understand why my husband enjoys driving his '86 359, although it's a single stick 15. He has her over the road here in the States, and she is a smoker. The Greta clip cracked me up!!!. I still drive occasionally for my local farm co-op, and have been a driver for 29 years. We named his 359 Charlene, because I said he had to name her since she gets more of him than I do, and takes all his money like a girlfriend would! I am building Snowman's rig too, but in 1/25 scale.

  • @charlesroer972
