The CLs we bought in Canada all came with hood scoops, also had 460 xt, the dealer installed them said they got more air, I think they worked, engine would get warm on long pulls out west. I would put  one on the CH in the yard if I could find one.

If I remember I think Alex had a new one for a R for sale not long ago.

I spent $900 and got a brand spanking new snowblower......and so far......nothing. Best $900 I ever spent and honestly if I never have to use the thing it would be wonderful!!!

 

Thank you!

As for harbor freight some of their tools are good quality. Others aren't worth the junky cardboard they're shipped in.     I'm a fan of the better toolboxes.   Defiantly worth checking into.    Also like the jackstands I have several 6 ton and a pair of 12 ton.  

Didn't the brand Barry sell start wit a T?   Tech brake maybe?

I thought the cab mount bushings are used for the tranny too

My mentor at the shop told me he had a design for a PLN jake assist. It used the jake relay power-out to apply 10 PSI to the truck air brake system with a solenoid operated valve, then magnify the exhaust noise with a mic piped into the truck stereo system.

Kinda like a baseball card in a bicycle wheel. 

What you going to cover the frame with?   Just plastic or some kind  of heavier tarp?

He was prob. 1/2 in his yard and half in his neighbors flower bed.  

Maybe this will help with some info.    Rob has it ln a listing for a engine in the parts forsale section. 

My direct drive dueplex has 4.30 and tall tires will run 66mph at 2300rpm

Lots of that happened around here too.   In the early 90's there where still a bunch of Rs pulling dump trailers hauling coal.     They kept piecing them together to keep them working.

Giant Landover but both companies are owned by the same holding corp.

Ahold out of the Netherlands I believe.  I deliver to the giant/martins out of Carlise.   

I think a red frame would  really pop!   The contrasting colors would look good together.    My personal preference is always a black frame just for ease of touch up.   Like Vlad said its your baby do whatever you want.    I just hope it includes polished aluminum.

I drove a truck for Giant 35 years and this truck was our parade ready, completely rebuilt show piece. I have driven it in the past, 673 with unishift. Giant made many truck showpieces in their shop for their drivers and shop. Unfortunately the company was bought out by a holding corp. and sold off everything and chopped the company up and sold most of the assets. Sad end to a good company. I wanted to buy this truck but didn't have the money then(new child) . Wish I could have it now but the owner is asking to much!

Was this Giant foods part of the Giant out of Landover Md, and the Giant of Carlise pa?

Wow! Hopefully the guy standing there was the guy that was supposed to be in the truck the bathtub attacked.  

4 wheel steering on a single axle tractor should make thing interesting to back trailers around.  

Merry Christmas.  Everyone be safe.

I do like truck show season.  Fishing season is good too.

 

Have you been getting photography tips from OD?

What makes this one hard to find?

With your mack inside do not store stuff on the fenders.    If you do it will never get worked on.
