    Here's mine. The top mount bracket is rounded to kinda match the door frame. Next best view from years ago:

    Yup, Mike, I had those pics from Dennis saved on my favorites and looked it over many a time. Glad you got it, as I don't have the room here(just ask the township). Fly'n is ALWAYS an adventure. The "tools of my trade" are packaged in gun cases. You wanna have fun, come walking in an airport with a rifle and pistol case!!!! Well, it used to be fun(lots of courtesy and door opening for me) now I just UPS them beforehand and eliminate the hassles. The seats in coach aren't built for much more then an anorexic midget. Best I do is sleep to make the time go by quicker.

    Glad to hear it moved quickly. I got a buddy who buys/sells stuff constantly. Bought a early 90's Dodge pickup, 318/auto/air, etc. Low mileage, was going to keep it for his young son for when he gets his license. It was sold that night, on the way home. Made an easy $1K.................WTF??(I couldn't give water to a camel, just pisses me off). His shit does smell like roses LOL!!!!

    Great news on the good news. Agreed, keep a positive outlook and you'll be talking trucks in person before you know it.

    That is about going price, as mentioned the glass globe is a plus. That is about 40 minutes from me. I paid slightly less for mine last month and it has new plastic globe. If you are lucky to find one cheaper, but most want at least that retail.

    That would be his "Linn". Very cool piece. Saw it at Syracuse in '03.

    Hey Bill, glad to see you here. All else fails??? tape off the column/wheel and paint around it??

    Dang, need that genset for my truck. Want to get rid of that noisy diesel unit I have. Works great, just too noisy. Kinda wondered how they made them work at slower speed. More poles...........duh. Wonder if I could investigate my generator and find a 4 pole and turn the speed down?? Adjust it for correct speed anyway. Of course you need enough HP to turn it, so that is an issue.

    Wow, looks to be an LJ? a fleet of B61's and at least one B67 with concave cab on the far right. And one Ford truck door!

    It's nice, I give it that. $55K, likely not. B's didn't come with black interiors and red velour seats. I would pay $55K for a muesum quality restoration, done just like the factory built, but not one like that. They might have that kind of money in it, but you will never get it back out. Oh, it also needs the correct fifth wheel, battery box lid(where's the second box?), fuel tanks, and whatever else. Where's the rest of the underhood shots and such? Where's the upper stack bracket? Seems that pipe would shake itself to pieces only being mounted by the lower band clamp. I do like the chrome wheels.

    The license plate was a give away on the basics. I knew right off it was a LM sumthinorudder as I've seen pics of those early offset cab trucks. Thanks for filling in all the blanks John.

    $212...............Cheap!!! Prices for my Rockwll rearend was $350 each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After looking at the LF drum on my B model, it did have heat cracks running across it. Don't want to ask what new ones are. Hope to put budds on it anyway, someday. Back on subject. Nice work so far on the neck. Gunno outlast you I'd say.

    I bet the West coast guys were just cringing at all the MACKs LOL!! Unlike out their way where it's all Pete's and KW's.
  14. Freightrain
    I remember this one from Syracuse. Man.........that thing is HUGE!!!!!!!!!! Very cool unit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always liked the picture of the all wheel drive 3 axle B model that is in a book I have. Monster!
  15. Freightrain
    Mark, get on youtube and search "longroadpro" as they did the red LT on video. Awesome sounding truck with 320 iron lung Cummins. One of my favorite tapes to watch.
  16. Freightrain
    Congrats!!!

    How about just posting links to Photobucket? That way you aren't using valuable BMT bandwidth. It won't show the pic here, but we can clickie the linkie and see them.

    Best way I know is to loosen nut behind wheel(ah, well, the little hex not the driver LOL). Leave it on the end of the threads to protect them. Have someone lift up on the wheel and someone smack the top of the threaded shaft with a BFH. Should "pop" it loose. Maybe a touch of PB blaster to help it along. MIght take a few shots, but likely come right off. I have only removed one wheel like that and it was on a loose steering box in the garage. Don't think the column actually comes off the box, so you'll have to drop the box off the frame and lower the column down through the floor.

    That's purdy...........just like when I got mine back from Mason auto parts. Color?? Oily black is my best guess. That's what mine is anyway LOL!
  20. Freightrain
    I know when I loaded this on Mike's trailer, the ol bobcat was gruntin' (no tires though)
  21. Freightrain
    Seems I recall that truck being sold from down south somewhere and getting shipped over there?? Sounds good.
  22. Freightrain
    You can tell it's a detroit right away. Even at idle, it's very noticable what it is.
  23. Freightrain
    Depends. If I get lazy I start it and pick them up.
  24. Freightrain
    Not sure, but I would bet any duplex/tri/quad would physically bolt in. The only problem I see is the tri/quad has a longer back box so the driveshaft would be shorter(meaning those would not be a direct bolt in---but doable).

    TERRY...................I SAID YOU CAN BRING THE LIGHTS OVER WHEN YOU DROP OFF THE CHROME PANELS.............. Better??
