My race trailer has electric jacks on it. I was not going to crank that bastard every weekend LOL!!

Yup, that's it. Seems the Acar had a 391 ford truck engine in it?

Yup, remember the write up in WOT about Betsy. The fellows name is on the tip of my tongue. My first driving job here where I work 27 yrs ago, it was a brand new red 1985 F350 stake truck. I would stop and wash it at the spray wash every chance I got(on my own dime). SInce then, every driver we've had can't seem to remember to take their lunch trash out of it. Pisses me off to NO END when I get in any of the shop trucks and look around. Food, trash, candy wrappers, coins, grease on EVERYTHING. F'n slobs! Our 95 F350 pickup is pretty wore out, we bought it used with 250K miles on it. I still will stop at the spray wash and clean it up before I go to a customer. "Used" does not mean it has to look like shit. One employee lives just down the street from work(and walks). Sometimes I'll run him home if we leave at the same time. He got in my '89 F150 for the first time and said "wow, this is nice". I told him "Yup, no one from work has ever driven it!"

Strange coincidence that both high beams are out? Had this happen to a friend. Only found out after changing the bright switch. Then checked for power at the plug and found lights were burnt. Doh.

I think that rig is outta East Canton. They have a shop on Rt 30, at the top of the hill west of town. They usually have a few R models out by the road. Never seen this beast before! If not, it is painted just like the place in East Canton.

Drill out to 5/16"-18? that takes a .257 drill, so that is just over the existing 1/4-20.

rust free cab!!! Front budd hubs? Someday.............................

Sounds like an old Roadway truck?

I guess that is close to what my 42" bentz weighs.

Neither of my cables have ends on the casing. Just cut off like a mower throttle cable. Looks like you just need to revise the clamps so that it will actually grab the casing.

Yours should basically look like mine. I would get a new clamp for the shut off cable that will actually grip the casing. For the hand throttle just duplicate the bracket like mine and you should be good.

So typical. Who ever remembers to reach in and set the brakes??

Welcome to the "other" jungle Tom.

I ran alt wire directly back to solenoid on starter, #6 I think? Bigger the better. I just hooked the voltmeter onto the ignition switch so that it comes on with key, and ground to cab. Pretty sure I just taped off the alt wires and left them alone. Been 12 yrs, so details are fuzzy.

Looks like metal mice got ahold of those frame rails LOL!!!

Convertor dolly, some welding and PRESTO-CHANGO you can pull anything LOL!!!

I have mine through State Farm. I used to just have std insurance(not commercial) and it was like $350/yr? Something like that. I switched it to Historical and it's cheap.

Here is mine with suspension removed: That is the front crossmember for the front spring mounts. The rear spring mount area is partially cut off, but you can just see an outline on the last 2" of frame. The previous owner had welded a large piece of channel across the back for a pintle hitch. It was easier to just cut it all off then try to reuse it. Here is a link to my project.

Fire truck. Red lights in the front.

Imagine telling someone you drive a crackerbox. They just kinda chuckle.............then you whip out that picture and suddenly there is silence in the room. LOL!! I'll take the '67 GP sitting next to it!!

Maybe it's a lightweight triple frame?? LOL!

Pleasant city....just under 1.5 hr south of me for the B. I'm at exit 113, it's at exit 37. That picture had to be taken last fall. We haven't seen the ground much here since Dec. The R700 is about an hour.

673 came with or without. Mine looks identical, with twin intake set up. Suppose to be 187 hp instead of 170 like the single intake set up. The turbo was 205 hp. Looking at the far right, the front end cover of accy drive(right below the missing fuel filter canister), should be stamped 673P across the top.

Definitely a face only a mother could love LOL!! The back of the cab looks decent.

Looks like 673P.
