Great looking truck. Thanks

You are right, tires were in much better shape than I thought, I drove it there and it would have made it back here just fine. I hope to take it to York in the spring. Just have to find a way to back the darn thing if I need to. Didn't have much success with that. Made it back O.K.

You do have a good eye. Looks like it!

Thanks Paul I enjoyed that. Dave

Thank You

Had a great day with Don Chew, got lots of pictures, lots of FWD, got it all on need 300 more miles today to log it by Wed PM have the veterans at the museum Thu. Boss will show them a good day and treat them to a barbecue,

Yes, that is where I'm headed, going across Kansas now, will stay at Limon Colorado tonite and load in the morning

These are the closest I have been able to find. Put them on a GMC a few months ago that I switched over from Dayton. Alcoa made them. Dave

Tires pretty old for 1800 miles, don't know much about movies.

Leaving Richmond Fri. evening to go out to Denver and bring it back to the Museum, is 52' long so will have fun getting it on a 53' step deck. Going to try and get the second trailer on backwards on the step and then head the truck on. Will send some pictures Mon. or Tue. Looking foward to seeing it at the shop. It will be the third of his there, and they are all great.

Went to the sale today and got it. Paid too much, but they don't make them anymore. New daily driver

Just happened to see this thread. Was working on a 3406 with wiped out thrust washers this week, had an Eaton, the new washers would not go in, unless I loosened the bell housing bolts. Pulled engine out to see why not enough crank end play. Found out that someone had put a new clutch in it, and had put on the snap ring on the pilot bearing like a Mack Tranny uses, removed snap ring and tapped pilot bearing into flywheel, put engine back in and had the proper crank end play. The input shaft was pushin the flywheel foward because of the snap ring. All good now, putting liners in, but thought it might help somebody else. Was scratching my head for about 3 hours.

Going to auction to bid on this next Sat. Can already see my welding machine and tools on it. Maybe be my new daily driver. Depends on who is there, lot bigger piggy banks than mine. Dave

Thanks Vlad, that was interesting. Always nice to learn about things you aren't familiar with. Dave

How did it go with the B ? Good looking, hoping you would get it?

Enjoyed the pictures, thanks Dave

Logan works a couple days a week, does a great job on the research and making all the display signs, also runs a scrubber over almost all the 70,000 square feet every day he works. Really good with visitors as well. Takes a bunch of dedicated guys.

OD, great pictures. I have only been working on Saturdays since Suzie has been sick. Keith Jones wants to preserve history and see people enjoy it. He is a good guy and good to work for. Sorry we missed you at Winchester, have not been able to go since Macgungie. Next year for sure. Bones is the Curator at the museum And does a great job on all the displays, really good guy. The best part to me is sharing it here with everyone.Have to make a couple trips soon for more" stuff", as soon as I'm comfortable leaving. It will continue to grow. Thanks for all the nice comments

You are absolutely right, don't know where my brain was. Dave

I really like it a lot, the process of getting a Title is frustrating, I would overhaul the engine than work on the title process. I will check and see if they ever titled it in their name and a duplicate could be obtained. Don't know Maryland laws. Dave

no title, bull of sale only

That is a great looking truck. I'm doing some checking on it. Thanks Dave

1950 F7 started the F Series line

This was my daily driver up to about 8 years ago, now it is a 72 GMC I bought because that is the year we were married, still isn't completely done, but is dependable. Too much work too little time.

I'm with Chuck P on this one " rather drive the tanker" saw it at the show today
