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. http://www.hcrcnow.com/shop/seal-kits/u-s-jack-ausco

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.

Okay reading all the stories now I have to chime in. When I was in diesel school in 1981, we had a shiny 290 on the engine stand using a 12v fuel pump to feed fuel to it. Lunch time came and no one remembered to unplug the fuel pump. We came back from lunch and fired the engine up, it went to about 3 or 4,000 rpms immediately and then slowly calmed down. Of course, we were all looking for clean underwear when the shop teacher saw what happened, he yelled at us for leaving the fuel pump on. Then there's the time I came to work one morning at the Cat dealer in Miami FL, I saw about a 6' by 6' white square just below the water in the huge canal in front of the dealer. When I got inside they told me that a tow truck driver picked up our company Ford Bronco from along the highway because one of the u-joints had broken. When he dropped it at our yard, he put the Bronco in park and unhooked the chains. Of course, it was facing the canal and rolled right into it! I imagine his boss gave him quite a lecture about u-joints and how the parking gear works.

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.

That is one clean factory! Nice video.

Beautiful! I like the tube-type rims, they look more original than 22.5s. I know, I know...tubeless are easier to mount, safer, etc.

These guys are right, easily worth $2500. Unrelated question, but what's that valve on the steering column below the turn signal switch?

I second what fxfymn says...I've had some luck warming the door in the latch area with a blow dryer.

I remember about 1974 White advertised themselves as "The Big 4"--White, White Freightliner, Autocar, and Western Star. Each line was targeted at a different type of operation.

Looks like Mt. Washington, NH! Great picture.

Saw this part on ebay...oil pump? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mack-Air-Dam-B-or-L-Model-/252215718016?hash=item3ab93a7080:g:68wAAOSwLzdWR5HY&vxp=mtr

I worked for Cat for several years...the early B models had some power but then they messed around with things. When we set the timing we'd advance it just a skosh and it would help a lot. The injectors and AFR make a big difference too.

That looks great. Lots of hours and sweat in that restoration.
