This "Tons O' Fun" forum has always been a good spot for 1-ton truck problems finding solutions. We wanted to have a go-to person (known as a moderator) to keep things high and tight. wink

You know him as "Dusty53" ... he's can be called Ronnie Miller by *other* folks. He's been on Stovebolt for almost ten years and has been a huge help in many of the Tech forums. His jacket shows him to be very knowledgeable and *mission focused* ... a Marine, what else do we need to say! Ooo-rah!

(He brings in a new emogie!)

John says, "... he gets demoted from Member to Moderator (with all the duties, miseries, hardwork, long hours, low pay, abuse and lack of appreciation thereunto pertaining)!" thinking

(Another new emogie)

I say: "He gets an Avatar and a key to the what a mess hall" (the Moderator Forum).


Dusty, the Stovebolt Staff are grateful for your help in here. We know the Collective will be also.

We continue to see great things ahead.

Even though I’m no longer a Moderator (my choice) I have the upmost respect for those willing to tackle the job. Good luck.

1962 C10 with a 235 6cyl -- all of the drive train seems to be original.
Some of this story is in the Side Lot
Some people like a new truck. I liked the old ones.

Hey Fred! Thank Peggy for drafting me! I own a 3/4 ton so I guess I'm a 1/4 ton short, but hey, here I am!
