    How unsafe can it be outside if we kept our social distancing? Shouldn't be to hard to do. It isn't like we'd all be stuck on a cruise ship locked up in a confined space and the only way off would be a life boat.

    Sink or swim. There is more to this whole situation then just not being able to attend a truck show. We are no longer being given choices. I don't always go to church but I'm no longer being given a choice if I wanted to attend services this weekend. I hope this all ends soon and we recover a better nation, but I afraid of the freedoms I'm losing as a result or some might be willing to give up for a sense of false security.

    Did you read the post before yours?

    you don't know what your talking about BGarofalo  .when drive shaft is out of phase it makes it jerk two time every turn.  my new truck the drive tires only lasted 36000 miles because of this. and has tor up my hole drive line.  volvo and mack needs to recall this junk.

     

    Torsional vibrations occur twice every time the driveshaft rotates. These result from excessive angles in the u-joints. They also can be caused by driveshafts that have been reassembled out of phase. A phased driveshaft generally is one in which the yokes are in line. However, it is not uncommon for chassis manufacturers to order driveshafts with special phasing.

    "Torsional vibrations are one of the biggest installation problems you will encounter," Koedam said.

    Koedam suggested that shops mark driveline components before disassembling them. Mark them in a way that makes it clear that the driveline is being reassembled the same way the manufacturer built it.

    One good way to identify specially phased drivelines is to look at the weld seam on the tubing. If the weld seam is straight but the yoke is turned, the driveline probably has been built out of phase.

    The flat auto glass can be cut to size at a glass shop. It looks like it is tinted.

    Looking for a cab n chassis to put log bed/bunks on not really a dump. Will only use 20-25 times a year and I’m located in Kentucky. I’ve looked at some r models and what made this one stand out to me was the good condition of the interior and lack of rust in the cab the owner says it’s a galvanized cab. Thanks

    That wheelbase isn't long enough to put any kind of a bed on it. It is too short for the dump box that is on it. Of course it could be lengthened if you want to do that.

    I would guess LJ. Could also be LF. Difficult to judge weight raiting by the look. LF's usually had smaller wheels of 20" but that was not a rure and the particular wheels were not installed at the factory also. Both sleeper cab and "hard nose" were factory options. It has longer hood and being accompanied by Diesel badges I would expect to find Cummins under the hood.

    Nice looking and rarely set up unit no doubt.

    Or an LH. The hard nose is seen on the LJ-X models. I don't know if that was standard on them. I also do not know if there were LHX or LFX  models
