    I know modern technology has improved engine life overall but still I do not think (???) that V configurations ever bumped the million mile mark that the inline 6's did?????

    Geoff Go on and say that no one was able to get reliability out of a V configured engine in a variable speed truck application.. In stationary and marine applications where they were under a constant load and operating speed the V configuration held up.

    Paul the difference between mountains and flat land... Australia must have similar problems in the mountainous area of the Snowy River and the "Table Lands" which we went down thru on our tour??????? They looked the same as our Appalachian region where Dean lives.

    I have been in the rest are near the middle with a Goodyear (???) tower in it that looks out over the lake, But not when they were racing😂.. Paul, Between Ayers Rock and the main highway we turned north on, to go to Alice Springs, we stopped in a sandy wide spot an looked out over a big dry lake, that you folks call a tank, that looked like mostly flat sand.. The driver said it was cow pasture when wet????

    The 9 and 10 speeds are the simplest!!! Just float shift them!!! Obviously an instructor who learned everything from a book!!!!! And operates on flat ground... Would like to see him start out loaded up hill with one of the "super 10's".. You had to drive it like an old 12 speed Spicer and go thru neutral on every shift..

    I thought that the 3208 was a throw away school bus engine??????? It would be very under powered for any kind of work truck...

    Congratulations on the 36 years!!! You must be a "Cradle Robber" cause she does NOT look old enough to be 43????

    Joey Good luck with your students... I would have to go to school to learn how to do a pretrip "Their Way"!!!! A mix of the teachers "Book Way" and your practical experience should turn out some good drivers.

    A little cleaning, polishing, and a little touch up can greatly increase what people will pay..

    Some of the Matlack tractors destined for the bulk cement industry only had just the "Stack Blower".. These were a double Turbo mounted on the right rear corner of the cab in the exhaust system below the muffler. To unload you ran the engine at wide open throttle and moved a leaver which put the exhaust thru the drive turbo and the driven turbo would create the unloading air.. These worked good for easy flowing cement, and short pushes, BUT did not supply enough air to move heavier products or products which were sensitive to heat..

    That looks like the head of a bolt angled into the pitman arm at a 45 degree angle at 10 oclock in your picture?????

    Yes!! But they had a brand name that I cannot remember. My 1959 Diamond T 921C, 220 Cummins, had one on it and another in the bunk when I bought it. Sold the spare to Mark McCallough in Missouri to put on his Diamond T 910 also a 220.

    I am the same!! Started on farm tractors and farm trucks in the field, later before I was old enough for a regular drivers license, on the road, local small township Hwy Dpt trucks. At 21 (1966) in college I got a part time job as fuel boy, dock helper, and half a$$ed mechanic with a small intercity out fit. By this time NYS had created a classified chauffeur license program. Got my permit and went to the rail yards with the night dock man.. In June I took a road test for my class 1 tractor trailer license, on a 1953 Brockway 154 gas job and a 35 ft van trailer. Had to start the test right in front of city hall in downtown Syracuse!!!

    The main reason I went with Wells Fargo was that I inherited a small Prudential stock account when my mother passed away. Wells Fargo had purchased the Prudential system. Also I liked the WF man when I met him a lot better than the Vanguard man who had our 401 acct with our company.

    Geoff, I did NOT make myself clear!!! I was talking about tires,, Not cooling systems.
