I hate to see that. You put a lot of time and money into getting it working right.. I hope you did NOT lose your shirt too bad. One consolation is you now have room in the car port for the Mack..

Was that chassis originally a fire truck??? The bell and siren say so???

Old Jake brake thread. Brake saver retarder question

I remember that at one of the ATHS national shows there was a man from California, with blue KW's with a gold stripe, that had a performance Cummins(??) engine mounted on a trailer with one of these electric retarders mounted behind it that he used to put a load on the engine when he fired it up. -
Same here, but so far just one quick heavy shower.

Dunno about CT!! But in SC the antique truck application only asks for empty/tare weight. NO gross weight needed!!

Paul, Diesel up here has gone up about a dollar and a half a gallon since this started. Gas also but not as much. I can understand with the Straight closed the import of crude is down and this will affect FUTURE prices. BUT BUT why has the price of the already refined product jumped overnight??????? I think the oil companys are ripping us off!!!!!!!!

Basically you are right!! That is one of the names for the additional lights either in or below the bumper, white or yellow, for better visibility in poor weather conditions. The best were made by Perlux and had fins to keep the light from blinding oncoming traffic. -
We both like the dill pickle chips you can find a some restaurants here in the south.

And check for the corrosion working its way back under the insulation breaking the wire??

I think Geoff is right on adding diagonal cables on the end. Possible a couple of sheets of the roofing material or aluminum channel / angle iron across the end to add some structural strength but leaving the top and bottom open to let the air out when the wind blows??? How well is it anchored??? Dig 4 or 6 holes under the bottom lengthwise rails and fill with concrete then drill some anchor bolts into them??
