    Whats up Brett Where have all those blue ford dump trucks been hiding. I dont see them running around anymore? I hauled for your dad a few times about 2 years ago. You might rememberme? I have the Black RS700L that brought you some dirt a while back? I think I droped it off for you in Wacounda?

    double frames add strength to the truck. if its an off road truck the double frames often reduce the stress and twisting thus extending life of the frame. the down side is that rust can get inbetween the rails and spread them to the point where crossmember bolts snap. engine brakes help slow the truck and help maintain a safe speed on a downgrade. it allows you to use less of your service brake on a hill and extends service brake life, ruduces brake fade etc...

    its been a while but I recall the jacobs being stornger than the dynatards on the 6 cyl macks. the truck that I drove with a dynatard would have slowed better if I tide a log to a chain and let it roll off the back of the truck. it was also a poorly maintaind truck so that could have alot to do with the performance? But like mentioned if the dynatard is holding you back fine why mess with it?

    Why Are Truckers Like Dogs? They piss on tires, chase cars, live in a box, and once in a while get to bury the bone. What Do You Get When JB Hunt Leaves A Truck Stop? Two Parking Spaces!

    Havent had time to work on my B model for almost a year. between driving around in my "new" 65 caddy I bought a few years ago and working on the RS700L I havent had time or money. So today I put in 2 used batterys (Free), jumped in the cab, throttle to the floor, turned the key, fired off on the first crank. gotta love the old dogs for how simple they are. I missed that bark Got the trunk of the caddy loaded with my tools and will be out wrenching on it this weekend. Trent

    also some of the biker painters are doing up some old school bikes with some sort of new type of gold leaf. I dont know what it is but I have seen it on a few choppers

    I could see it used as a bump starter thing but god thats a big risk to do with a mechnical engine with the engine stop cable in the run position. the truck could just take off or crush you. what about a trailer battery that was powered off this wire?

    Sounds like a great idea. As always thanks for all the hard work you put into keeping the B model store and this message board going! Trent

    pin striping and gold leafing is a lost art. I bought some brushes and played around with some ideas but am not ready to do work on someones truck. Best advice is ask some local hot rodders if they know of a local pin stripe guy. Hard to find but they are out there. alot of these guys can do the gold leaf as well. Good luck Trent

    ask some of the hot rod guys (cars) some of the old hot rodders rebuild these found on old cars. I have a fairly recent rat rod mag somewhere with a write up on these shocks/dampers. IMO just put newer style shocks on them as they will do a better job controling the movement.

    reminds me of the time I started my 87" suberban. Fired it up and drove out the driveway. turning onto the street I heard a god awful scream. thinking it was a bearing or belt going bad I turned the engine off, opend up the hood and saw a racon wraped in the fan belts. that was a mess. it was dead So I just drove back to the yard to get a pry bar to dislodge the thing. I felt bad but who the hell sleeps on a timing cover?

    i like the K.I.S.S rule keep it simple stupid! LOL this is how I did my RS700L. I moved the in dash radio to a newer style overhead console

    never fails.. do it your self and it gets fixed right i would talk to the manager about your bill! regardless..glad you found the issue and its fixed!

    one of the duel movie and Convoy trucks were both rebuilt by a guy in St louis. I suspect the R600 in Mad max was totaled out and used for parts?

    if for one year the US stopped paying for the world to get on with life. we would likely have the cash to fix all our countrys issues and in a way reset itself. Get rid of these BS programs that help other countrys and lets for once focus on our people. Once we get back on track we can offer help.. but limit it. I want to start seeing other countries do what we do. Close the door on Mexico and see how long they last without our help. that would be a slap right back at them..

    the older maxidynes were measured in brake hp. Brake HP is measured at the flywheel and does not compensate for drivetrain losses. Trent

    this thread was very misleading

    yea for a play truck it would be ok but for any soft off road work... good luck Im with Herb 80+ if the 237 can keep up. it will however get you back from the truck shows on time!

    here in the US we had some GM and Cat engiens sneak into the long hood superliners R700 and RS700L cummins was the most commonly off breed engine found under the hood. I remember roadway having alot of R700s with 318 detroits

    The old girl can get up .. nice video!

    welcome back David.. was wondering where you went?
  22. Lmackattack
    Most twin stack superliners I have seen had 90 degs at the bottom and ran under the cab to a Y pipe. the diffrence in mounting would be if the truck had an air ride cab vs solid mount. some stacks had frame mounted brackets wile the older superliners were cab mounted like the west cost R models had.. this is just what I notice. My RS700 has twin cab mounted stacks. the top of the mufflers are level with the rain gutter at the top of the cab. the muffler bottoms end about 14" above the frame hight. just about the min amount of space needed to get a 90 bend under the cab Trent

    just a heads up. save your torn door panels and have them remade at a local shop.Alot of interior parts seam to be NLA from mack, I had one remade last year for around $80 looking good!

    yea he posted this a year or so ago but its still fun to watch. I like how he backs all the way to the hill side to get the speed for the hill.

    953 and 963 always liked them, 953 was good for small jobs and the 963 could load a truck real fast and push most piles down in just 2 passes.
