That's a good idea Eric!!! That's cool. That's why the grill slats don't close on my U. Because it has a Maxidyne.

i have asked this question for years and got years of different answers. why did different makes of cars and trucks have positive ground and not just negative ground on all?

your google powers seem to be strengthening. LOL I am at a loss for words.

you did good vinny. did you learn from uncle jim fisk on the freihoffer show? you're waaaaay to young to remember that show but some of those ol' new york state bucks will remember.

hopefully another ol' cabover saved. good to hear.

Ive been to the Tilted Kilt resturant. It was OK.

First of all, I sense a hint of "spam" here. Thank you for the flowers though Mike. Mr. Freeman,,,transportation technicians are not "made" in 3 or 4 days. There is a plethoria of situations to encounter on the road in this industry that cannot be learned from a book or video. Yes, you do have to satisfy all the legalities, pass tests,,etc.,,,but doing all those things wont make you an instant driver. Its kinda like me going to a coaching academic site and telling coaches I am tired of driving, I want to be a coach, gottta do it in 3 or 4 days, forget all other B.S. and just hand me the degree. Lives are at stake when you are operating large trucks, not just yours, but others. Anyways, all said and done, if trucking companies are so eager down there to hire, they will train you and provide you a truck to test in and satisfy all legalities. Believe me, They are very eager for you to be responsible and safe in their vehicles. Now dont get your feelings hurt, just slow down and think all this through. randyp

When did they stop running them?

That's cleaning up nicely!!

If you want another one, you could check out the Hitchcock Bros B-75 on Craigslist in Canaan. Sadly, I think it has been outside a little too long.

We in most csaes would wash out with pressure washer when hot then spry alot of PB baster inthere then use the air hammer. Then dont let it leave with out the dust cover.

I had one that was stuck i used an air chisel to get it to turn. Ron

tried to turn the adjusting ring on the spicer pull clutch and it doesn't want to turn too easy. probably hasn't turned in 15 years. any suggestions short of pulling tranny.( i did have the clutch pedal blocked down) thanks.

that looks slick mike. an old guy like me would like to take that thing for a rip.

I was in a Laurie once.

NOBAMA 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

]H.R. Ewell inc. is stilll alive and well in E. Earl. John S. Ewell inc. is no longer around. They were bought out by Northwest transportation.(Land O' Lakes) Miss seeing the green and red milk trucks. Here is one of HR Ewells trucks ready to go to the New Holland parade.

Changed the oil filters along with the fuel filters and transmission oil and Adj. the clutch. Tomorrow will be the rears. Here is a link to hear it run.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Not sure where in NC the truck spent most of its life. I bought it from a company in Taunton, MA. They bought it for the Holmes wrecker body. They put it on one of their newer heavy RDs. I learned to drive on a 77 RD tractor and spent a lot of time working on Mack Rs eversince. I used to own a MH twin screw cabover, former penske rental truck. Hauled scrap steel to Albany NY from western MA area. Sure wish I still had it today!

Zip code 17506.

The belt is still legal when no one knows about it, at least at my house - not that I would condone that or anything - right?

pop would say it was a waste of good soap.........usually the belt did the trick. that was in the '50's and the belt was still legal.
