My dad brought a neat toy home Saturday night.     My kids still have a week of school yet (due to teacher strike) which is prob a good thing.     They are both very eager to go try it.    A 6&8 yr.  old my be a little dangerous on this thing.            

are these it?    I know the black knob opens the exterior vent.    What is the green upper knob do? Also right in front of the fancy air freshener there is a round lever that appears to turn?       Neither appear to do anything currently.  The fan motor is buried under the dash in front and above this.    I don't think there are any controls on the dash.    Thanks

Mud boggin in the Mack and your lady models.     Sounds like a perfect photo shoot.    

In my poor interior picture what are the 2 trolley valves, and how does the transmission controller work?    It kinda reminds me of boat controls.       Barnhart crane & rigging is the name in the door now.  

Drove by today and its unloaded from the detach and loaded with concrete counter weights.  Hopefully I get to make a porn video of it in action.   

 Got the stacks and tank mounted.  They will be 3' taller when outside.    Need a piece of flex pipe then toolbox step can get put on.   Battery box with disconnect switch mounted on the inside.   "Kinda a security thing."  Alternator mounted.   Used a belt adjuster off a 3208 cat.   Basically perfect fit.   Just had to cut 1" off end and drill a new hole.   

My neighbor has a wood grain steering wheel out of a Pete in his B model.    Kinda seem maybe just a standard mount?

I'm only about 2 hrs from macungie about 40 miles north of Harrisburg.     It's at a private rail yard so it's possible it's coming or going by rail.       Also they are retrofitting a local coal fired power plant to gas.    There's a bunch of big cranes set up there and I heard there some large oversized loads coming by train for that project.    The truck has a crane and rigging company on the door.   

Seams like the new rearend ratio worked out pretty well.    Good idea for the motorhome on the fly option. 

My high horsepower 673 was eating away at the motor mount bolts.   I didn't realize it was such a torque monster.  

What tags do you have with a yearly inspection classic?   Nice video.

The frame widens in front of the tank.

Thanks.    My b67 starts widening at the back of the cab.   

I don't know any of this to be correct it just from reading so I could easily be confused.     Didn't the western trucks have straight frame rails, where the eastern ones had rails that flared out in the front? Would there be different tank brackets to compensate for the flare of the frame so the tanks would be straight?  

Rubber portion got inside of mount like a backwards v-belt.    It went together very easy.   Then got front seal in and installed hub pulley and balancer.   No working on mounting alternator.    

Thanks.  That's what I was planning.     How tight of a fit is the mount going to be?     What hold the rubber in place?

I got my front seal and rubber front motor mount from Watt's.    any tips or tricks in installing the rubber in the front motor mount on my b67?  Is it going to be easier to unbolt the mount from crossmember and install the rubber in that first?   Then the entire mount onto the motor.  

That's much neater looking.     That looks like a single intake manifold.  Is that a turbo engine setup?  Mine had 2 manifolds.

My photographer buddy sent me some more pics from his last visit.

 

I was really disappointed when I first saw this.   Really nice pictures in all but still disappointed.   Then I scrolled down a little further and it all got better again.    

Thanks. That's kinda what I was thinking.    And I haven't got to the bumper yet.  

Here's a marmon in pa on craigslist for awhile http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/hvo/5608747211.html

Its just a guess, but I think that truck is the FJ That Chris Berry has had Matt Pfahl working on since about September to get into working order. If I am right, that means its a 180hp cummins and my guess would be around $125,000 to $150,000 on the value. Maybe more.

I'm saving this post!    That may make wife happier with what's in my b67

I broke the end off one while removing the radiator last week.  Thought about just welding a bolt to the end of it and calling it good enough.  Mine are all bent like pretzels in different directions so I thought about just making a new set.  "I'm kinda weird about things being the same from one side to the other".         Any pictures of them from a b67?    Are they nice straight rods or bent like this for a reason.
