Convoy Lyrics -

Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck

You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure

By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon

Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,

Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy,

Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June

In a Kenworth, pullin' logs

Cabover Pete with a reefer on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh

'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town

I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck

An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night

Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck

Uh, you wanna back off them hogs

10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger

Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town

We had eighty-five trucks in all

But they's a road block up on the clover leaf

An' them bears 'as wall to wall

Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper

They even had a bear-in-the-air

I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck

We about to go a huntin' bear

Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night

Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that Pig-Pen?

Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close

Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses

Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four

Like a rocket sled on rails

We tore up all a our swindle sheets

An' left 'em settin' on the scales

By the time we hit that Chi-Town

Them bears was a gittin' smart

They'd brought up some reinforcements

From the Illinois National Guard

There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps

An' rigs of every size

Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears

An' choppers filled the skies

Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus

In a chartreusse microbus

Hey Sod Buster, listen

You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?

Yeah, he's haulin dynamite

He needs all the help he can git

Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore

An' prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears

But I didn't have a doggone dime

I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck

We just ain't a gonna pay no toll

So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight

I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4

Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night

Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, 10-4 Pig-Pen, what's yer 20?

Omaha?!

Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure

Well mercy sakes alive good buddy

We gonna back on outta here

So keep the bugs off yer glass

An' the bears off yer... tail

We gonna catch ya on the flip-flop

This here's the Rubber Duck on the side

We gone

Bye, Bye...

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
