      1959 H67ST

      By h67st · Posted

      1959 H67ST with turbo 673 and duplex, former Ralph Smith truck. The cab is rusted beyond repair, but the chassis looks good. I have no idea what condition the engine is in. The truck appears to be complete. The title is signed but not notarized so I don’t know how easy it will be to get transferred to your name. Located in central Ohio, I have a tractor to help load but it would not push this truck up steep ramps. $800 or best offer.

      1961 H67ST with 673 and duplex. The cab has a lot of rust-through but the cab frame is good and solid. This truck hasn’t been on the road for 20 years so it will need a complete restoration. The engine “ran when parked” in 2007. There were frame rail extensions welded to the back for a tag axle. The truck is complete, and I have a lot of extra parts that go with it. The guy who sold me the truck signed the back of the title but didn’t get it notarized so I don’t know how easy it will be to get transferred to your name. I also have a 1959 H67ST with a bad cab but it has a 673T, 22” hubs, and the frame looks better on it so you could use the best parts from both trucks. Located in central Ohio, I have a tractor to help load but it would not push this truck up steep ramps. $1,500 firm.

      my brother has an electric mustang. it took him 3 days to drive from union nj to charlstown sc. 750 miles roughly. had to stop three times to charge as he only gets around 275 miles per charge.  when he worked in trenton he could just barely get there and back home.  going to atlantic city was a two day trip, he had to stay overnight to recharge the car. not my cup of tea. i want to be able to decide when to stop myself.

      I believe that electric cars would be good for city folks.  It would certainly clean the air that settles in the streets.  But for me and many others who use vehicles for work,  I say,,,  Heck No!!  I wish the Gov. Would stop jamming junk down my/ our throat(s)...

      Rowdy you seem to know a lot about these Tesla's  I remember way back in last century when in high school, when a young bloke had the hots for bird and his mates twigged he would deny it vigorously, in fact he would not have anything nice at all to say about this bird he was in love with Makes me wonder about people that can Tesla's  Don't worry I'm only stirring lol, Im not overly fond of things that drive themselves either   Paul

      Well  the time has come , the pickup bed is being built as I write .  It will look similar to the ad in the Saturday Evening Post  March  6 / 1943 that  MACK  had . I  am using Wilson trailer deck planks for the floor , because in the ad the slogan was " my middle name is Work " . If all goes well it should be  PETTY  SPECIAL .  I  guess for now it is one step at a time .

      E7 454 Random/ intermediate shutdown
      hey guys ive got a 1998 CHR Vmac 2 with a E7 454 engine, truck is a salt field truck that has come into the workshop for a suspected electrical fault, engine will start to stall and then grab revs last minute before shutting off, then idle fine with no faults, or will stall all together and then when u try to start it again it will crank with no start. when it first came in  battery's where dead, alternator belts where extremely loose and main battery earth cable was split. replaced battery's fixed earth cable, tightened up belt then checked DTC's only found three fault in system, ( fuel rack position sensor/ current below normal or open circuit, Fuel actuator/ current below normal or open circuit and Timing sensor/ data erratic, intermittent or incorrect). 
      with these faults i checked over the wiring to the inline pump and found the connector had bear wires showing, replaced and re-pined a new plug, and repaired a few other rubbed wire's in the engine harness by the alternator. once done cleared codes in the truck, truck started up fine and would run fine for a while drove around yard no problem for two days but then when i went to park up on the fence for customer truck faulted again tried checking for any DTC's nothing was logged both active or inactive. if anyone's come across a fault that sounds the same and has a idea what to check out that would be great as this is the first time in dealing with this old of a truck.  
      UPDATE...
      found out what was wrong. the customer has had this truck at another shop for the same faults and didnt say anything about it, but what they did was cut all the wires at the ECU and ran 7 core trailer wiring out the LHS of the Cab firewall all the way to the pump, Bypassing the cab loom and engine harness, but what they did was they wired it up wrong at the pump side and ECU plug, finally found a wiring diagram and yeah found what they had done, so re-wired it all and put a new RPM/TDC sensor on and now she runs like a dream.

      You say you have some parts, I also have many (not the window felts you seek tough) am looking for the plastic tube that goes to the air cleaner, the one that come straight off the cleaner, not the one that come off at an angle if you have??. Also looking for a cap for the air cleaner, to match the one I have, if you have any extras to sell a pic would be awesome.

      I have a '59 B61 with quadruplex transmission.  There is WAY too much free travel in the clutch pedal, but, if you start it in gear, it creeps ahead.  I need to adjust the clutch and take some of the free travel out, which should also solve the creep problem.  I cannot find an adjuster bolt on the clutch.  Can this clutch be adjusted on the clutch itself or does it have to be done via the linkage?  The only thing that I can see through the inspection hole on the clutch face is a big hex head bolt that looks like it takes an inch and an eighth wrench.  This doesn't look like an adjuster.
