Thanks.  I had the passenger side fender off and the radiator out.   The driverside fender appears to be 2 or 3 peiced together.    I'm gonna start loosening things and start pulling and pushing. I can't really explain how it fits but pretty sure I can get it better.   

Is there a difference between my B67's grill shell and a standard B?    I put the one I bought from a B42 on.   It's on and looks ok but something don't fit quite right.   Kinda hard to explain.    Just figured I'd ask before I spent a lot of time loosening stuff and trying to realign.     

Should be about 2' longer.    Looks a little short.

Geez, I just noticed the welds on the jack stands. NICE!

Couldn't of welded to much it would have messed up the valve stem.    I new a guy that used  aluminum rv stabalizer stands as jack stands for a long time.

I think my personal best was spending two hours looking for the truck keys that were clutched in my hand...

Did that the other week rushing kids to basketball pratice. I couldn't find my keys anywhere.   The kids laughing finally told me they where in my hand.   

Neat looking truck.  

Stay south!    It's cold up here.

nothing you couldn't have fixed with a torch

And a BFH!

Hey everybody here is a good sport.  Glad it was a simple fix once figured out.     I've done a lot of extra head scratching before just to find a simple issue like this.       I'm sure most on here have as well.           Good work.

Neat picture.

I like the AC.

Would be nice to bring it back to life. And looks like someone started to install air conditioning on it.

Or did you mean exactly that when titled the thread "AC logger"?

I read it that it was repowered  with a v-8 from a1956 Packard car.     I think that is the automotive style radiator.   

I'm thinking it would be nice to not hit my elbo of the back wall when shifting.  

Strictly my opionion but...If its going to be used like that you defiantly do not want to be second guessing anything in the drive train.    

Do you want the lower first gear for a parade gear? Or a working gear.      There is a different outcome between the  two uses.   

Looks like the same dog house my b67 has.    Only difference I see is it has the flat back and not the contour cab.  

When my dad would build small cam cummins back in the day they would use an offset key to retard the cam timing.     Made for better running but harder starting on cloudy days.     I think someone mentioned before double check the timing while your at it.   

50 acres of feild north of my house, and About 20 south of me.   To my east is a retired diesel mechanic then my patents.   And to my west I really don't care.    They will get over it.  

I only saved this part the the picture but somewhere on here is the rest of it with the demensions of the B series.    The 67 could have flat or contour cab 

Take the rubber plug out the end of the maxi brake and see if the spring is ok.   I've had them break and get turned sideways keeping the break from fully releasing.   

Wet sand paper with wd40 as the lube works very well.

KooL!  It would look great in my driveway except the driveway isn't long enough....

Driveway hell!    I'll let u park it in my front yard as long as I get a key.  

The way your dragging your feet I'm sure you will know before the weekend.   

It should return to idle quicker with  your throttle return spring hooked up.?.?

Does the guy go by Blue truck on youtube? Found a year old video on there.      Defiantly alot of work.      Is he local?

I drove by the junkyard this morning and the short cab length tanks do  apear to be a bigger diameter.
