Was it a teamster truck, and at 4:30 it's done for the day?

I know exactly what your saying.  Work always seams to get in the way for me too.   

You may not have to shine stuff. My wife would kill me if she new she was in a pic of my truck on here.  Lol

Thanks,   Air cleaner is a nelson from a freightliner classic.  My buddy found a shorter filter and shortened the can around 3 1/2" 

Looks good but, Where are the rest of the pictures?       The model is standing in the background with her boots, cutoffs, ands matching black tank top.     We all know she had her pic taken with the truck.     

I think the big steering tires defiantly give it a cool look.

I use automatic circuit breakers.   That way they reset(this pictures is a manual version) and you don't have to carry a box of fuses.  The control side is fused through your original fuse box.

Look like this:

BTW, looks like you won't have to worry about any one NOT seeing the back of your truck LOL!!

Ok thanks.   That's what I was thinking, but for some reason I had in my head that you don't fuse them.                                          I figure a lot of people will be following me "to get a better look of course" so better give them a few extra lights.  

I'm going to run headlights through 2 relays.  1 for high beam and 1 for low.    Do I put a fuse in the main power for the relays?    For some reason I'm thinking you don't put fuses in headlight circuits.

The journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step; start at the ass end and work your way forward to the gauges, 

Just testing with jumper cables now but I finally started!           just marker lights.               everything including back up.   

Someone told my dad they on his model for 2 years

Getting there.  Got battery's installed with disconnect switch.   New cross braces under hood made.   New hoses and clampswith 2 shutoff valves for easy installation of heater someday.  Tool box on driverside of frame mounted.   Got most or original wiring removed so its easier to start from scratch.             

Running plastic fuel lines to and from the fuel tank on my B.  It has a 673n/a what sizes should I run?   Smaller diameter on return side to aid in building pressure in pump?   5/8" supply and 1/2" return seams pretty big.   Maybe 1/2" and 3/8"?

Even comes with a patio on the front?

Just need to mount a pole with a bracket to the sun visor.   For entertainment purposes.    Since the red lights are already in the grille.  

Pretty sure it's been listed on here before.    Add says $17900

Thanks.   Does it reheat the blacktop too?

Looks good but 1 question.   What's the thing you dump into before the paver?    I see them in Pa on state jobs too.   

I agree with you both.   The boys won't get any running seat time on either of these for a long time. I don't like the case at all.  It dosent have any type of break just a neutral spot in the hydraulic throttle. If trying to stop and you move the handle just a little to far its going the other way.  Then when you correct that its going the other way at the snap of a finger again.  Unsafe design in my mind.  I don't think my dads going to keep that one around very long.   As for the loader it's designed that getting pinched would be difficult but its definay not a toy that's for sure.

I'm good with one B and one R...

I will let you take turns parking two  at my place.  That way when you get sick of polishing aluminum wheels you can come and switch trucks. 

Sterling's have a 5 hole aluminum wheel if you wanta modern   wheel to use.

Stirring the pot...... I will recommend spoke on the pass side and Budd on the driver's side. 

So there!

 

Back when I helped a couple buddy's build lifted pickups one guy did this.  There was 2 types of rims he liked so he bought 2 of each.  Ran one style on passenger side and other pair on driveside.                 Personally go for the aluminum buds I like them.   

And I thought the engine of  my b67 was mashed in there.    Atleast mines in a straight line.   

1965 I tried turning my phone off.  That's my first thing to do when I get messed up.    Willie that worked I changed from the standard default to the flux default and that fixed it.    Thanks!
