Don't use the clutch, it has been over 40 years and not about to change.

FW

My 85 RD688SX , tractor package no 5th wheel, 11 x 24 rubber, dealer painted my colors, FET included , $ 72k

A TRD 150 and a TRD720 just about identical, TRD 150 in 5th = .77, TRD 720 in 5th= .78

All duplex compounds direct in High, underdrive in Low

FW

For the tank straps use a cotton belt from a Boy Scout uniform,

Good luck

This is what is on the label of can of mack interior paint " MACK GLOSSPRAY ENAMEL, green metallic, 812 312 SX 19-P2. I bought over 30 years ago.

You can change the studs to 3/4-16 outer thread, then thread on long inner nuts and tighten them and use large outer nuts. Only draw back you have the 13/16 square that will show. (saw them off?)

FW

Yes the 711's had head gasket issues.

FW

That is a nice truck you have, I would keep it. and the AC condenser is nicely done.

FW

I thought Dodges were badged Fargo in Canada. Must be a US truck. When was photo taken?

FW

quick figuring @1800------93mph

@2100-----109 mph

FW

If you look it is a B71

FW

It will have to be a 1241.

FW

Some have the E model fenders, some have commercial truck fenders , most have commercial fenders reworked to make the wheel opening smaller for the 9 x 20 tire. check the underside of the fender and you will see the piece added.

FW

Any single countershaft transmission will work but not for long behind a 237.

FW

LL?

FW

All 72 series triplex and quadruplex compounds are overdrive.

Triplex direct TRT72, single OD

Quadruplex direct, TRQ72 single OD

With overdrive main box,

Triplex over TRT720, double OD

Quadruplex over, TRQ720, double OD

The 2nd 2 in the number is variation in input shaft (spline size, single /double disc)

There is a duplex (TRDX72), 10 speed with only 7 progressive gears. Around here it was called a dead stick, that was a few years ago.

The transmission you need is a overdrive quad for the speeds you need, but not the best choice against a 237.

FW

220,230, 250 cummins, ENDT250B/C. 318DD. and a few others

not a 237

FW

I located the spec sheet.

FW

That is a B 61 SE or B613 SE depending on the engine,. It is a Mack option, will post the spec sheet tonight or after Macungie.

FW

Why?

FW

Early trucks had Prutsman, later used mostly Delbar.

FW

Without the backbone of Volvo, I think Mack would be gone. To answer your question is Volvo good for Mack? I have to say yes.

Two days after the hurricane,

This bridge is about 1 mile downriver from the one that was lost, and speaking with a person who lives nearby this bridge was totally rebuilt about five years ago. It was done using the same construction practices as the original covered bridges using white oak and hemlock lumber. Witnessing the flood full size trees and cars smashed into it and then were sucked under as well as the 150 foot long roadway planks from the destroyed bridge upriver and shot out the other side, this bridge didn't move. In the area next to the bridge there were three cars and a chest freezer full of game meat.

This person lived near the river and the water rose to 6 inches over his first floor window sills, he is moving to higher ground.

A picture of where the bridge was.

While on the subject there was a member that closed with "over and out from ignorant ridge",haven't heard from him.
