  1. Yesterday I helped a guy near me cut up a couple of B models; I need rear end parts from one and he sold a bunch of parts off the other.
  2. Now that looks better!
  3. Sounds right to me. You can check the ratio by jacking up one rear wheel, rotating it one turn and count the driveshaft turns, then divide driveshaft turns by 2 (a 4.66 should spin the driveshaft 9-1/4 turns).
  4. An F model western with a Detroit! That would be a cool truck to have.
  5. This one is in Westbrook Maine. https://abcnews.go.com/US/giant-spinning-ice-discs-maine/story?id=60428415
  6. If your price is reasonable, you will find a buyer on this site. You stand a better chance of selling if you post pictures and price.
  7. 41Chevy posted this picture a few years ago...seems like a lot of the W71s had sleeper boxes on them.
  8. I didn't know that! I see the bottom of the windshield on the conventional lines up with the bottom of the vent wing, but on the H model the windshield drops lower than the wing. So these trucks are genuine L models, not H cabs fitted onto an L chassis.
  9. I love it! I notice he doesn't need any suitcase weights with that big motor in there.
  10. Man, that's a crusty old F model!
  11. The pinstriping and other details look fantastic.
  12. Oh, snap!!
  13. Yes, there are a lot of 3408s out there (mostly in equipment as davehummell says). When I worked at Cat we found them to be very reliable. If you can afford this truck it sounds like a nice machine.
  14. That is a gorgeous truck. It's the same cab as an H model, I would rather have one of those than my H but if you ever found one for sale the dollar signs would be multiple.
  15. David, please don't blame this on one race in particular...I have rednecks in my town that leave trash behind constantly. I think it's universal that if parents don't teach their kids respect they will do ignorant things like that.
  16. +1 on Hagerty...they had the best rate for me, about $300/year for one truck.
  17. For $2,000, the thing should be stainless with 24k gold trim!!
  18. A Mack with Mack graphics on it, kinda neat. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-WINROSS-1-64-Scale-MACK-TRUCKS/283747605658?hash=item4210acdc9a:g:pXsAAOSwuJFeIii9&autorefresh=true

  19. I saw these for sale on ebay, part number 116QS373P2 and they're 16-5'8" x 9-1/2"...must be for early trucks.
  20. I wanted to replace my hub caps, but I couldn't find new ones. I have an FA511 axle with the threaded caps instead of having 5 or 6 bolts. Thankfully Stemco still makes a window replacement kit (part #359-5999 for 2-3/4" window). My local Advance Auto Parts was able to order the kits for $9.00 each. Also thankfully the screws came out without breaking; using my little impact gun on them helped.
  21. Now you're thinking ahead!
  22. The holes in the front spring hangers for the cab mount bar were pretty wallowed out (aluminum hangers). I found some brass bushings and had the machine shop bore the holes and press the bushings in. Worked out pretty well, total cost around $100.
  23. I've seen some very poor quality stainless over the last few years...mostly on hardware coming from China.
  24. Now that's a truck!!
