ARCHIVE Greatful dead shiftknobs

[mmw68]

I always include 12mm and 10mm adapters, it's no big deal for me to drop in the tcase 8mm adapters if people ask.... Don't want to charge people extra for what the will need to use the product. Folks....just let me know if you want a tcase adaptor, and I'll include it for free!

 

[Bear Lake Cruiser]

Well, then count me in for the tcase adapter. Then I will put them both on my 60 and if I like two in the same truck I'll have to get two more for the 40!

Somebody with a FJ40 really needs this...

Well this was easy.

Perfect touch for the H55 in the 70.

Thank you Mark!!

 

[mmw68]

That's a great shot of Beno clutching his ball! BHahahhahah

Thanks for testing out the prototype on your H55. You said the large adaptor, or 12mmx1.25 worked, good to confirm for everyone.

Since it seems like most of mud's deadheads are here right now, did anyone manage to score tix to the fare thee well shows?

 

[Bear Lake Cruiser]

I wish. I would have but have long standing family plans. Watch 'the other one' new bio on bob weir. Only on netflix. You will enjoy! On a side note on about July 6 I will be swinging by John barlow old ranch in cora wyoming. That where he and Bob wrote many of their best songs January 1972. I'll post some pics for those that enjoy GD trivia

I'm on the road traveling across our great land for the next couple of weeks. I did not score tix, and will not make it through Chicago. I will be there in spirit.
X2 on the Netflix documentary. It is fantastic!

I may have missed it, but when do you anticipate these coming in?

 

[mmw68]

Iam already in the cue for production with my manufacturer. I'll give him a count on Monday to start. He has been taking about two-three weeks.

 

[LINUS]

Woohoo! - I NEVER get stuff like this, it's always day late / dollar shy!!

In for one for my ol' buddy Pigpen!

Is one of the thread-serts the 80 series trans case one?
I can only guess it would be - if not that's what I'm trying to fit.



Edit - I'm order #54 if you know the trans case thread - only one I need, thx!

 

[INsr5Runner]

Sweet! Got my bottle opener today! Thanks Mark!

 

[mmw68]

Bump- placing the order Monday .

 

[Bear Lake Cruiser]

Got my bottle opener too. Just in time for vacation!

I got shipped off from making too much trouble at the catholic high school in Salt Lake to the little private high school right outside CO Spgs where Barlow and Weir first met. Rumor had it that Weir got kicked out for playing guitar on the roof of the dorms. Barlow graduated and is on the school's trustee board to this day. I got there in '78 to find a whole bunch of deadhead kids and the halls filled with music, so no shortage of learning by books that we were burning. What a couple years that was.

As for the upcoming "fare thee well" shows, I had tix for Santa Clara but passed them along. Something(s) about the shows aint my scene.

These steal your face gear shift knobs are very cool. Think one would fit a T100? I have to decide which vehicle(s) I'm keeping and selling before I screw one on. (Definitely not selling the 93 Cruiser.)

Fountain valley I think it was called? Barlow has been hospitalized in CA for several months now. Slowly recovering

Sorry to hear Barlow has had to spend time in the hospital, and happy to hear he's healing.
Fountain Valley School (FVS) is the place. The school's bus took us to our hockey and lacrosse games and I figuratively got on, too, as a boom box consistently introduced the band to my ears. There were plenty of things to do there.

Here is minor dead trivia that involves my family. Jerry Garcia first wife (married in 1963 and only lasted a year or two. Her name is Sara ruppenthal. I am tom ruppenthal and she is a second cousin. I never met her but they had a daughter named Heather who is a violinist. The only recordings of her and her dad that know of is a rare cd called the common chord. Bluegrass stuff mainly David Grisham mandolin. Jerry guitar and banjo.
