Local guy has a new version around here. they use it to dump 20' containers loaded with fertilizer into a hoper to load rail cars.

I usually try to go to spencer's truck show. It's usually the second Sunday in July at there shop in Dewart. I don't remember seeing it there. There mostly a KW shop

Does this thing have mufflers? They seem out of place.

What does the steering column do? Disconnect?

Behind the yoke on the driver side of truck underneath the round cove that is partcialy behind the brake chamber/ brake drum in the top pic. The bottom pic is what my stampings look liked. It appeared the ratio was changed at one time and the old ratio was crossed off and restamped. It's a 4.60 ratio the very bottom line.

[quote name="41chevy" post="315965" timestamp= I would never criticize any bodies choice of build be it a 100 point show pony or a rusty mismatched pile of parts. That's the best part about all this. Weather you build something yourself or pay someone to do it for you, it come down to one thing. "It's all about you." There are many beautifully restored to original trucks out there, but they lose the personal touch. There are also rat rods out there that just leave me with the question "why?" My B-67 contains parts from a dodge minivan, sterling, international, 2 Pete's, and 2 freightliners. I pretty sure there will be people that don't like what I'm doing. I also know that I've had people stop in and look at my progress and compliment on how it's turning out. I'm building it for me to the image that I have in my head, and I'm the one that has to be happy with it. Just like the purests and the rat rodders.

I heard of guys extending the bump stops on air ride trucks to mount the fenders lower. It dosent affect the on road ride just the off road flex and when air is dumped.

That things COOL! When I had mine cut in half with the from half of the frame up on jack stands I really thought about making it a twin screw and "jacking it up". That makes me kinda wish I would of had a taller garage so I could have.

Thanks, I read that once before, but I had no idea where it was at.

The 53 had the standard length hood like the 61&42 had?

I thought the tri-drive one pictured in the B-53 post had the same hood trim as my 67

Does the B-57 have the same short hood as the B-67?

Main deck is 29' top is 9'6" Have to pull 1 up on neck, then back #2 on, # 3 gets pulled on with hood beside #2 then back #4 on last. Should be a snug fit. My gooseneck has a 28' deck and 3 will fit, but I only haul 2 because I have a single wheel chevy with a 8.1 gas motor. I'm grossing 24,500 with weights for a pull. I have pickup licensed at 26,000 combination, In Pa it's $472 a year. To much for a pickup

Thanks. I looked on there web site but didn't find that info. I'm guessing because of my phone maybe? I was thinking similar numbers and figured it would be ok, but I never pulled anything with one.

I found a 1980 ferree lt-35 fixed dropdeck. It's rated at 70,000 payload at 35mph and 56,000 pound at 55. Does anyone have experience with them? Guess on a light weight? I'm thinking on buying but not sure on how much over kill its gonna be for my 673na to pull around. Price is right but I'm concerned on of its going to be to much trailer. Prob only hual 4 antique tractors averaging 5,000 pounds a piece at the most. Any opions?

Sharp!

I think I saw some Dakota's one of the times I was there. Dodge did use same parts on the vans. My wife's '04 Durango had the same taillights as the vans. He only wanted $20 for the pair of seats I got, but we do some wheeling and dealing sometimes. You don't need this right away do you? A Durango seat would work too? A few years back we had a depot for the little bread route trucks in Woodstock I use to go to.

The driver seat is 1" lower and 1 3/4" back further then the seat I took out. I have no idea how that measures compared to an original seat. That one appears to be several peiced together. I could prob sit Indian style on the floor and be able to see.

Absolutely

Just ran into him. He said he may have some. Do you know if other years are a match too? Would it matter if they are power or not? He's not sure what kind of shape they will be in, usually stores parts inside of them. Van seats aren't a hot seller for him.

carlotpilot i will check on the seat cushions I'm not sure how soon I will see him though. He would prob just want to get rid of the whole seats, but I see what I can do. Mine had the grab handles on the backs of the seats. when I took them off they where glued & screwed and messed the vinyl up a little. What part of Virginia are you from? I have a buddy that runs to Winchester every night around midnight. I could check with him about throwing them in his trailer if it gets that far.

I have 12" with the 20" original wheel. I gained almost 2" over the other seats that where in truck. My " original" seats are about 4 seats that Somebody welded together with welds that looked like lava rock. An original bench style passenger seat would have worked better for me, but I don't think it was available in the B67's. my shifters come through the middle of my floor and I don't think there would be room.

I was looking for ideas for seats for my B67. It's a concave cab and I'm 6'2" so room is a factor. I ran across one on youtube that fit very nice, but didn't look very comfortable. Then a trip to my buddy's junkyard with a tape measure I found 1998 dodge minivan seats are a perfect fit. The van also has a flat floor so the seat bases sit right on the mack floor.

Hopefully my 6yr old will figure it out by the time we get the truck on the road. That way he can be like his mom and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
