With transmission and all, I would likely not use the manifold. I made a plate for my 237 and bolts in the front of the motor but I didn't have transmission on it.

Light switches and plug sockets. I'm sure other things too. -
Jay Barbe. Only took me a week to remember that. CRS.

Fellow from PA that used to post here has a super nice R600, green, steel dash, single stack with a shack that is just a super nice throwback to the typical 70s hauler. I think it was his Dad's truck? Can't say his name to save my life right now.

I got my 237 head gaskets off Ebay. It was a Felpro top end kit.

Start with penetrating oil over a few days, then left hand drill bit. May find it comes right out. Studs are typically installed hand tight, so unless it's rusty, it should come out.

Uniform company supplies the towels. I can remember way back we went to paper towel rolls. What a freaking mess that was. Paper towels all over the floor!!! We then went back to washable roll towels. Sadly today the rolls come in looking like they only rinsed then with cold water! Still dirty looking and stained. Then rolled all twisted so they get knotted up in the dispenser. Go figure. Now if I could get them to deliver soap? I have to beg for that every time the guy comes in. Never fails, like yesterday. I forgot to ask and sure as shit....no soap and the dispenser is empty! Dammit.
-
Still use at my work. After 37 yrs, I still have to replace the damn rolls because the guys in the shop are 1)lazy, 2) clueless.

Welcome aboard. You've come to the right place. Always remember.... Pictures or it didn't happen!

I'd be patching up my original for that kind of money for sure! I get it...they have it and how bad do you want it?

Wow!!!! For a stamped steel pan?

Seat bracket

I did the same in my truck. Luckily it was just round tube and easy to duplicate. -
Seat bracket

Drivers seat or passenger bench? My drivers seat mount was round tubing, so not sure what was factory in these trucks? -
Maybe? I distinctly remember South Bend. There was a Pete with a Wilson trailer next to a picnic table and that's where we sat. I was parked right by the JOT tent. Peters H model was right there with the little camper behind it with the "narrow load" sign on the back. I left my trailer out in the field, which was knee high and sopping wet from rain. I hated walking back and forth. Mike fudged his "trailer age" and left it hooked to supermutt and parked in the show field. I have done the same ever since so I can leave my trailer hooked to the truck and have everything right there.

South Bend was the only time I got to meet up with Mike. We sat on a picnic table and BS'd. I'm pretty sure that was my only meeting with Michelle also. Mike did hook me up with shiny parts for my hood a couple years ago when I painted it.
-
The reason they want a VIN or what the part is for....is because of liability. The customer buys it, installs it, gets hurt/worse then goes back to parts store to sue them for selling incorrect part. You and I have knowledge and common sense but so many don't and can't be left to themselves to make decisions that are safe. Thus lawyers and VIN numbers!! Sad.

I wouldn't trust anything from Amazon in this instance. Too much CHI-NA knockoff junk that won't stand up. I have a local truck parts house and buy everything there.

Photo capabilities likely still better then most bank photos of a robber!! Lol.
-
I wonder how far dressed they refer to that weight? Clutch? Bellhousing? That big stuff adds up quickly.
-
My favorite photo...

I need a new rear end
Freightrain replied to D2Denny's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I think that is where Matt posted above about the cost. I got real lucky buying my air ride cut off for $500. Most yards are way over that for just a housing. -
The ad says Diesel. No picture to prove it. I wonder if the battery is in the alum step box?
-
Yes Vlad, air start. Doesn't look to hateful overall. I wonder if the lack of batteries are the reason they call it "non runner"? No one wants to air it up for the starter to work? Agree, pricey for what it is.
-
I only lifted about 3" to get the trailer out from under it, then down to the ground. I didn't trust it to go any farther. When I installed it in the truck, I borrowed a buddy's wrecker.

Beyond my knowledge, sorry. Hope someone else sees this post and can give you more information.
