Morena all you Take a Dump in a Ford Bed'ers.
Weirdos.
Weirdos.
Anyone heard from the vice president out in California? Just wondering if he is near all the flooding and chaos.
Afternoon all. I've been in history class for about a week. There's an old railroad bed in the woods behind my parents property and I've been curious about it for a long time so I decided to see if I could find anything out. What a wealth of history I discovered. Long story short this area was booming from the early 1800's till the mid 50's with logging, the rock quarries along with many other things. That particular track behind my parents went to one of the local rock quarries and was a branch line. Found tons of pictures of what the local towns used to look like and the businesses from back then. Neat pictures of the steam locomotives. Even some old resurrected black n white videos of them on the yootubes hauling coal and passenger cars. Pictures of buildings with some still standing today now well over 100 yrs old. Even the 2nd deadliest passenger train accident happened right here in Ashtabula county. Deadliest was in Tennessee in 1918. History is fascinating. Alright I'm done geeking out. Carry on
They just made a documentary of the Ashtabula incident. Have yet to sit down and watch it but will be soon.Ashtabula is 3rd and the one in Tennessee is 2nd, according to this article.

If you think 102 people dying in a train accident is a lot, read this article.

I`ve seen some local to me that were fabricated and they don`t seem overly difficult once you get passed the frame and hinge points. Knowing what the folks on here are capable of you all could get together and build one in 2 hours that`ll outlast anything else ever built for a dump bed.Would love a dump bed on a truck. I wonder how hard it would be to fabricate?
you buy the metalI`ve seen some local to me that were fabricated and they don`t seem overly difficult once you get passed the frame and hinge points.

so you already won the gold ? LolAll you mf'er's would do with a dump box is fill it full of dildo's and pretend you're Michael Phelps going for Olympic gold in it.

Geek out. I'm a history buff too.
Due to the microchip shortage during the covid lockdowns many vehicles were shipped with stuff that didn't work.
In many trucks, suv's and such we now replace the seat module and the hvac interface because there's no seat heater switches in them and just toss the old stuff in the trash..

At one point I was on Google earth and you can see and follow the remnants of some of the old railroad branch paths. Alot of the main lines were turned into bike/jogging paths that span for miles. Would love to time travel and walk around in person, see everything from back then. Maybe drop a few gfy's and pull my fingers lolGeek out. I'm a history buff too.
