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...

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
