these are just simple sensor assemblies, no kind of active controls (engine shut downs)

aka one wire sense wire out of the gauge and one power in

then the temp sensors (a pair) each have one wire

the gauge for the oil pressure is also one sense wire out and power in

but the pressure sensor has 2 terminals, which is a bit confusing, and leaves me the possiblity of smoking a bunch of stuff

not sure what the kysor system is.

the sensors (I assume...yea...I know...lol) appear to be delco style

and eveything associated seems delco style, too.

this is a complete re-wire

it seems like unless you want to chance buying various crusty ebay manuals there is nothing

looks like I am going to have to start a wiring payper view website...i'll be rich in no time....(insert evil laugh here)

(sarcasm...lol)

thanks

dr

I have a 1968 detroit 6-71 v6 and am doing wiring.

anyone familiar with a dual temp semsor system?

also a dual terminal oil pressure sensor?

I have searched the net until i am crosseyed, and no luck

(even many of my old sources seem to have the links gone dead)

thanks,

dr dodge

I would start at the column switch

sometimes being "heavy handed" can spring the pivot mechanisms in many (not just macks) coulmns

I always start here, right after finding the dead socket, being as many times that is exactly where I ended up after 2 hours of crawling around, under and between everywhere else

good luck,

the early B models had the wiper motor under the dash on the linkage pretty much. a bitch to work on and leaked oil all over the damn place. Mike is right around late 58 they moved them to outside on the firewall. some b model firetrucks that were open cab even had wipers on the inside and the outside of the glass

wow, no kidding!

very interesing

dr

nice work

dr

not enuff info to make any decision

and at (IMHO) 8k a little too much to risk

interior pic was weird so makes me think that was the best part of the interior

pretty straight body though

dr

Thanks guys!

$3k to $5k would not be bad at all for a nice runner which needed little to make it more reliable. Agree with you on the cab, preference is for a nice clean cab as any form of body work is depressing

I would disagree on the body

sure the work sucks, but its only sheet metal

a good frame, (no between frame rails rot) and a decent drivetrain is very important

with a reasonable priced good mig, and a pile of raw sheetmetal, I'd rebuild a complete cab way before tackling a trashed or poorly maintained driveline!!

look for cracks in the frame & ripped out motor/trans/suspention mounts, being as many of these old trucks were not driven by the people who actually coughed up the cash to buy them, just morons who drove them

grab the driveshafts and look for pinion issues as those can mean a whole housing if "tightened and ignored" over time

same with the output of the trans

look at the fluids.....water in anything....not good

that said, "issues" can be reason to get a $10k truck for $2500 bucks

but the best advice is always to "sleep on it" in most cases, come here ask questions, research

dr

thats very nice

the hard part is the stuff you do before you finally get to assemble

I always laugh that the first part is h''l, but the second half is like christmas every day

opening presents, and putting clean nice pieces back together

I like the frame all empty and clean

talk about an open pallet

dr

the r model is (I think) a ~73

these are brother joes trucks (heavy metal)

I am up here doing restification/repairs/service on all of them being as I am laid off (perm from GE)

when I get back to tx i'll list my stuff

1958 dodge w500 ex army fire truck

if you can tell from my name i am a dodge guy for....well,,,too many years

great site ya'll are cool

dr

how do I load pics?

welcome brother

dr

I am from houston tx, my brother is in western ny, south of buffalo

took some pics today (and got to drive the old guys around, too)

hopefully upload later this weekend

dr

happy labor day to all,

just joined the forum

I have "restified" many old pieces of equipment over the years (40+) and saved many from the scrapeyard

current projects are a pair of 49 eh's

they are amazingly straightforward, repair wise

both are running good, got brakes on both, and tomorrow the dump on the one should work

honestly, my brother and I were planning on selling them to a good home as we both have WAY too many projects in works (just ask my wife...lol)

but when we actually list them, they both will drive up on the trailer.

we've actually discussed restore or (purist cringe) a real neat rat rod

but both are to complete to do that

if anyone needs help, repair wise, feel free to ask (not just old macks, but any vintage stuff from gas, to diesel, and even steam....new and old

very nice forum, proud to be a part

dr
