Yup I put on an extra tank and it already had a shut off valve which I didn't know was there until I met the original owner at a truck show and he filled me in on a lot of stuff.

All of the finer dining establishments have disappeared

Wasn't the last one left located in Ohio?

What's that, about a 10000 lb front axle??

Some blood, some pain, a possible trip to the chiropractor and the air manifold thing is out. That thing is definitely getting relocated someplace else. the low air switch was on top of this up against the bottom of the dash, that would explain the newer one mounted at the wheel sander control. I didn't know the Autocar factory was staffed by sadists. Now that I've got everything apart, I'm seeing wiring that I don't like the looks of. Might as well.........

Actually filed with used fryolator oil for smokey burnouts just like I used to do with my 65 impala after work at the York Steak House when I was 16

It's an electric welder

Finally got the rebuilt air assist steering back on my Autocar. Had to weld the mounting bracket back together due to a dumbass (me) cutting it when I removed the air piston thinking I wouldn't be spending the money to put it back on. I was wrong. Jacked up the front end and greased the hell out of everything. Hooked up the air line and now I can spin the wheel lock to lock with the palm of my hand. Couldn't turn the wheel at all without the truck rolling before. Been chasing down air leaks on this thing for a while and now was down to one leak left in the least accessible spot known to man. 5 port bulkhead fitting top of firewall behind the clutch pedal bracket and every airhose in the truck. so to replace 1 hose, remove dash panel headlight switch panel, wiper switch throttle bracket and undo 6 lines and disconnect the low pressure switch wire just to almost get my hand in there. Sure ain't gonna put any of the old lines back in so now its 6 lines 12 fittings. Hoping to run out of old hoses soon but at least I can turn the steering wheel now without the maxis coming on.

doh! I really got hosed

It never fails, at every truck show least 3-4 people stop and try to figure out what the tanks in front of the wheels are.

I just paid almost $300 for one from my local starter/ battery guy for the Autocar. I thought he liked me obviously not.

I don't think I've seen anything on this on here yet. Been hearing about it coming up for a few months. http://www.13newsnow.com/news/military/historic-battleships-giant-gun-barrels-moving-to-new-homes/507257216

The B67 used the 20" wheel.

I pretty much stopped going to car shows a long time ago, just seemed like it was just a gathering to pick apart and criticize other people's stuff. I got into truck shows and joined ATHS and ATCA about 1991, what a difference. No judging or negativity, and a whole lot more interesting.

Happy B-day and thanks

My first car was a 65 Impala 2 door. 230 straight six and a powerglide. Couldn't get in too much trouble with that car. Wish I had my 70 Monte Carlo and 70 Chevelle back. Actually sold my Astro last week and already wish that did't go.

Not that bad looking actually but couldn't they do a better job on the roof fairing attachment? It looks like they tek screwed it on.

Anybody know what color green was used for the interior of steel dash R models?

Nice

I meant since December

i was thinking that this weekend, he hasn't been on since before December

Used to drive an F700 with the 5.9 and a 5/2. It was geared to run almost 80 mph on flat land but it was absolutely terrified of hills.My boss knew nothing about trucks so he got the lowest priced one at all times. This one was a 26k gvw with juice brakes. Once the crane and toolboxes were mounted it weighed 25300 before I got in the cab. If you could get it rolling good it took 2 feet on the brake pedal and pulling up on the steering wheel for leverage to stop it in a hurry. He sent it out to have more leaves installed in the springs which was his fix for every truck they had. Pretty scary at times to drive but the 5.9 was pretty good.

I'm the boss too but I'm not smart enough to tell someone else to do it.

I was thinking I should use the crane but I would probably rip the hood of the truck doing it.
