     Alot of you may know my family or myself in the industry...I have been in the business full time for over 8 years pumping in Texas as well as Vermont...Also I was raised in and around the industry. 

     With a passion over the years for the car sales industry I have now ventured into that field. I now sell new dodge, toyota, honda, scion, and also a variety of used vehicles.  I also have access to sell new Chevrolets as well...

     I am posting this to let anyone in the industry in the Dallas Fort Worth area that I would love to work with you if you are in the market.  And of course work the fairest deal that I could for you. . . being that we have this common ground.

My email is leeaholic@yahoo.com or you may call my cell at (972)537-7260.

To everyone out there be safe, be careful and be respectfull of the equipment....

Thanks . . .Lee Priddy

Just curious, but was your grandfather George Priddy?

I remember his company Triple P concrete pumping out of Houston.

Your old man was one of a kind. He was one of the hardest working men I ever knew. My favorite memory was when George and I went to the WOC when it was in Dallas. We had a good time!!

I wish you well. ;~)

Hi Lee

It was in the mid 70's in Houston.I was working for pumpco (Ron Rumza) was the manager.They had one putz in there fleet and George was the answer man.

My memory along with other things is failing.it was real close to the date of the Witchta falls tornado,Again he was a fine and knowledgable man,a great loss to a good industry.

Not to many of us youngsters have any idea what American Pecco was... I have heard many stories from dad when he was with them...

just to let the greenies know pecco was also the american distributor of Putzmeister before they came and started putz america

It was a "C" valve - aka elephant trunk putz pump cell with an Atlas boom. The GMC truck that it was mounted on was light in the ass for the application. The rear outriggers would come off the ground if you were boomed over the cab, flat out. I remember that some of them had an 'outrigger' on the front bumper to prevent that from happening.

George was the only one that could make it work well. ;~)
