    Contact user Oldspwr on here. He has researched the Ellis Manifolds on Continental engines and is familiar with their use.

    I think(???) that Holtzman Gulf Oil tanker had a complete topic of its build on here about 2-3 years ago??? Maybe some one is better at searching than I am..

    Yes, it will fit in a container OK!! But another thing you will have to check on is with you Chilian Customs people as to what they will let in and how much of an inspection they do?? I am assuming that on an antique vehicle there will NOT be any emissions restrictions problems? Off the top of my head contact Tony Champion in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia as he has imported many trucks from the USA and should be able to advise you on the questions you will have to ask of your customs people to see what hoops you will have to jump thru???

    If you are considering either a 5.9 or 6.7 Cummins replacement please search both the Brockway and Just Old Trucks websites for an excellent 20 some page topic by Oldspwr on his replacing the original flathead Continental with a 5.9 Cummins in his 1955 Brockway 154. Did some searching.. Here it is on JOT:: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/103414/1955-155W-Brockway-Continental-to-Cummins?PageIndex=1

    If I remember right (??) the VA people were giving him a hard time and Gorham ME Embraced him like a long lost brother..

    Joey, Please remember that the ATHS Piedmont chapter Spring show is at the NC Transportation Museum on RT 29 in Spencer this coming Saturday.. I am not going to make it as we had a big show in Waynesville NC last Saturday.

    Vlad, When I worked for Matlack in the 70's we hauled liquid fertilizer in both aluminum and stainless steel one hole, non baffled tank trailers.. Would wash them out after the season was over and use them for other purposes the rest of the year. I do not know if today's modern fertilizers are corrosive enough to require all Stainless trailers??? Or plastic liners??

    Ask Jeff of the WAI section of the Just Old Trucks website about donor trucks.. The one he bought as a donor he has been showing for about 3-4 years and the original is still not restored completely..

    The Name Freightliner opposed to White Frtlnr started in late 1977 with the 1978 model year., due to the removal of the White dealership contract due to White Motor going belly up... I do Not know exactly when the Powerliner came out???

    I am glad to see you are OK and found some computer time to advise us of your VERY BUSY family life.. Thanks for the update and pictures.. Also here is the contact info for Dave Zsido who may have some more info on the history of your truck:: 3 Haywood Ave, Rutland VT 05701 802-775-6576

    Seed, When did Chrysler of AU start building trucks?? And how did the Dodge/Fargo become a DeSoto down under???

    Good Luck on the CDL test.. I have heard that the hardest part is passing their pre-trip inspection.. Empty that Super 10 will be no problem.. Starting Loaded, especially on an upgrade, you have to drive it like an old Spicer 12 speed.. And that would blow the inspector's mind, TOTALLY!!!

    Here is a short article I wrote about double clutching: On my computer when you click on the link it puts another box in the bottom left corner which you have to click on to open?? Double clutching.doc

    As long as you are empty just play with the main at first, then play with the compound while in 3rd or 4th in the main.. After you get the feel of them then mix them together..

    Bulldog, Try contacting Tony Champion in Rockhampton QLD. He was a large Mack dealer as well as being a BIG Mack collector and might be able to answer your questions.. I do not have an email address for him BUT if you Google Volvo Commercial Vehicles there should be a contact button? Maybe Mrs Mack Paul has the contact info?? Here is a link to some pictures of his facility, scroll to the bottom of the page: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7
