The bill from the state for the repairs to the Overpass and cleanup will be costly for the carrier or insurance co.

You would think the driver would know the height of his load and be looking at the posted Bridge signs.

Did it look something like this?

You better get the parts off that 240 and don`t diily dally too long, or it will be gone, or someone will trash things before you get back.


I just learned that the 123`s from 77 to 9/79 have thicker window glass.
then from that date thru 85 they went to a thinner window glass. so one won`t work in the other, and the parts the window run in are different. not sure with the window cranks.

I have a buddy that has the early 240D with a broken R/R window. he has been looking for a good glass. most have the metal strip crimped on the bottom of the glass all rusted real bad.

Since you have a 78 and 81-82 you ought to grab the glass if it`s any good. the window cranks are getting to be NLA too. I know there are guys looking for them to swap out their electric regulators.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
