Great video! Looks like a lot of love, as well as busted knuckles and frustration, going into that project. Keep up the good work!

Two of my H models have air start; this is the lever in front of the driver's seat to actuate the starter (my neighbors all know when I fire it up). As you can see, there's a piece that pokes through a hole in the floor-anyone have a clue what that's for? There's nothing on either of my trucks that it does.

That is going to look fantastic rolling down the road...nice work!

Great to see someone taking care of the family lineage-that is important. Nice looking little rig!

Amen...need to save the F and the Superliner.

Here's a pair of NOS door handles on Ebay.

I'll bet that dragline weighs a couple pounds.

That's a fine looking chassis! What type of paint and gun did you use on it? By the way, you need lots of junk piled around your shop so it looks like mine!

That is one fine looking truck.

Gotta love Montana Craigslist ads, so many times they are willing to trade for cattle.  I wonder if the "naughty ads"  under personals mention cattle too?

Some of the women we have here in Ohio could pass for cattle.

I think the cab mounts are bad because the cab is off center.

Love the orange, and the stripe looks great! I notice you have spokes on front and budds on back, is there a particular reason for that? I'm used to seeing trucks the other way around.

That's a beautiful truck...whoever restored that did a fantastic job.

Yes, it's an aluminum tank. I looked inside the tank and there's no corrosion. My cab jack pump is leaking; it's an Ausco DP-148...I googled that and this website sells seal kits for it.

My cab latch wouldn't clear the strike so I decided to fix it. The truck has air start so there's an air tank in the luggage bin that's about 4' long and 12" across. Needless to say, you can't even see the latch so I pulled the air tank out to check it out. It wasn't too bad of a job but you can see it was a tight fit. I think some lube and adjustment will get the latch working correctly.

I agree with fxfymn, good jack stands are invaluable. One of our customers was killed putting shocks on his van because he didn't use good jack stands.

I see the Detroit has the optional "exhaust lubrication" kit.

The 671 weighs 2,150 lbs. dry...I don't know how much the original motor in your truck weighs.

Another option is the radiant tube heaters overhead...I worked in a shop with them and the floor stayed warm. Radiant heat is great for shop, house, etc. You can fire it with gas, propane, or oil.

For some reason, the photo didn't paste.

Saw this on ebay...I've never seen a Super with a packer body.

I live in Johnstown also but my old H models don't look that nice!

That's some wide open, pretty country.

I don't know, the vines give it kind of a "natural" look.
