Recommended Posts

Looks Good!

Uh oh. The garage is starting to look a little small for the fleet.

Next project is more insulation than expansion of the shop-ma-haul right now I can get everything inside but the F but I a jd 3020 to restore this year so the KW is setting out but I have it listed for sale

The air ride cab is an add on but seems to work good, drove it into town for fuel, not used to driving like I stole it but that's the only way the tranny and engine wants to shift, way different than the KW with the 13 speed. The KW shifts like the 1980 R with the 6 speed rev it up and shift when it drops low on RPM.

Anyone know where the engine stamp sn# on a cummins is located when the data plate is missing? Was on ebay looking for a service manual went out to the truck and popped the hood and the data plate is missing climbed on it for a fewminutes and found this.

I think the wiki is wrong it says by truck SN (RWL766LST39600) it should be a NTA 400 ISC but from what I can find on the interweb that ISC engine never came out until mid 80's and the pictures of an NTA 400 I could find online don't match the one in the truck. Of course I understand that the engine may have been swapped but waiting on the Mack Museum for verification from the build sheet, that aside want to start getting some manuals ordered so I can start poking around on her before body work.

Hello!

Congratulations on the new truck and good luck with it! Great pics also - could you please post more photos of the engine compartment? They would help me a lot with my model (although the build is on hold for now). Thanks in advance and have a nice day

There is alot of mis information on wiki. The right engine is a NTC400,although I would think being a '78 it would be a big cam 1 or 2. I'm not up on all the Cummins CPL numbers,the engine in my '86 is a Big Cam 4 CPL676.

Awesome! I am glad that deal worked out for you. I wasn't able to make a deal on the other one. But glad you got your hands on that one. I was going to call back. Talking to the guy he said he had another superliner in the back with a blown clutch. Might be worth looking at.
