The tank I put on mine was from a sterling and is 24".    I believe my freightliner at work is also a small diameter.   

My original tanks went to a guy to transplant the  steps into new tanks.   

Spray in bedliner?

My kid just said it would look good with a Trump banner on the door.

can you hang onto it awhile til I find a ride for it?

Why don't you come east and pick it up?     That way you can bring along a rust free B67 cab for me.

Crap, I had the truck out yesterday moving stuff around and as I walked up to it I told myself I need to check fuel pressure when I shut it off and see how longs it takes to drop to zero.  Yup, forgot.  Dang it anyway.  Need to check it tonight?

Blame it On the time change.  

Yes you did post in the wrong place.  My sons name is Bryce and we live in central Pa.   He said he should have one like that.  

Sucks about the truck.   That's when trucks where still made like trucks.

my old 79 DM800 tractor with 60 ton rogers trailer weighed 78,000 empty. but because of the 12-24 tires on the tractor and 14-24 tires on the trailer i was legal for 198,000

Pic please.      

You got a lot more patience then I'd ever have.  Great attention to detail.    

That would shred their bedroom slippers too.

Sorry, but if I had my choice I'd take the one on the right.   

Atleast there is no guess in what needs fixed.    Ouch.

Looks to be in pretty good shape for a '67.  Were they still using that style hubcap on the front in that year, or did they just migrate over from B-model on this rig?

Think I remember reading on here at one time the early R's used the same front axle as a B. 

Yes basically a upside down box.  I have parts in it right now for my drivers side door.   I can get u a better pic tomorrow.   

Anyone know if its the same as the one I took out of my B67 with contour cab?

Looks good.  Glad to see others using a chevy to bring there toys home.   

Mine had 2 clamps like thisto hold a box type cover liketo cover up

549 was the big one . freind of mine here has an emeryville with one in it

My grandfather had 3 emeryvilles. My dad always said the one was supposed to be his.  A real large car.    Had a 238 and rubber block suspension.    They where all long gone before me.  

Is there a reason why they weren't put inside the cab where the the light and buzzer are anyway?

The Mack looks to be the easier of the two projects......       and less money!

And alot closer to the ground!

When looking at the building im thinking big garage door on the left side.      Some people may think its wrong, but I'm thinking it would give a direct hotline for the extra "help" that's needed on so many of my projects.
