    TJC, Same Here!!!! These damn electric ears will drive you nuts!!! I work part time at the county landfill boxsite. The pump motor on the compactor will drown out all conversation!!

    KBS had frame and manifold paint that you could brush on.. I do NOT know if they had any others????? Check with Eddie Lucast over on the Just Old Trucks forum..

    GW: The one I drove was in a 1962 Autocar snub nose with a Cummins.. The shifting procedure was also in the Drivers Manual for my 1959 Diamond T 921C which had a 220 Cummins. I cannot post a picture of the manual as I gave it to the man who bought the DT.

    Is there a site for Ford Trucks???? I used to go to one when Michelle Cole was still alive, but after she died it was all modern $h!t..

    Dean, I do NOT know what to say about rear fenders???? Most trucks of that era did not have rear fenders and I am not sure if they even had mud flaps???? Since you have your lights mounted on the rear cross member, about the only thing would be a half fender with flap bracket??? BUT that would not be period correct🤨.. Since you trailer it to shows do you really need the protection???

    I am an "Old Fart" and all my pictures are on the computer where my kids can delete them after I pass!!!

    Bob, I think(??) you might be speaking of the Spicer 12 speed??? The one I drove had a manual clutch and you had to shift the lever thru neutral in ever shift.

    Dean, Thank you for bringing your truck down to the 3rd Annual Dark Corner Charity Truck Show Yesterday sponsored in part by the ATHS Palmetto Chapter.. It was definitely the "Hit of the Show"!!!! We awarded Gary Poague his ATHS 50 year achievement award and he wanted to get his picture with your truck as part of the write up in a later Wheels of Time magazine.

    Bob and Paul, AGAIN constant load and RPM's.... NOT up and down thru the gears..

    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?????
  13. Brocky
    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.

    ASK Otherdog!!!! He is the one who started the food trucks..

    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????
  17. Brocky
    And you wore ear muffs!!!!!!😁😅

    Good eye on spotting the Michigan centipede!!!!! Load the wagon!! NO slop!!
  19. Brocky
    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..
  20. Brocky
    I thought that the 3208 was a throw away school bus engine??????? It would be very under powered for any kind of work truck...
