I find out in another week if a second back surgery is needed had it done six years ago and picked up to big a piece of cut firewood last Monday and Im back to what it was the first time. Im toying around with installing a set of air ride seats in the truck I really hate to do it and alter the original interior the seats in it now are in great condition but the old Viking T bar cant compare with a good air ride seat. I have a line on getting four of them and they come close to matching the old ones here is a couple of pics I can get them at a good price Im sure I can sell the extra two when I get the four. Is there any call for the original seats maybe for a restoration I hate the throw them in the shed and forget about them if someone could use them.

I remember the day when they pulled the old trailers with yazel painted on the sides.

Harry Kuhn had over a hundred of them himself not counting the ready mix division.

It sounds good but not too loud just right.

I bobbed a M35 military truck a few years ago and put a turbocharged 3208 into it I took the cab off to do the fab work had to use a trans from an 800 series five ton to keep the original trans from grenading with the additional HP. The build went pretty well had to raise the body off the frame three inches for everything to fit but it was the only bobbed M35 like it anywhere.

Bearing numbers are 6461A for the inner and 555S for the outer and uses the same seal as the gunite HF819K hub.

Always liked seeing the left front wheel come off the ground a trait of most mack pull trucks.

That looks like the corner of gilbert and 25.

I always liked ford six wheelers too I drove one as a kid it was a 1975 with a 3208 and a five and a four trans put a lot of miles on hauling gravel with that truck.

Nice and a fresh paint job always gave me a feeling of accomplishment when I look back at what it was before I painted it.

I think some of the new locomotive engines cat produces are up to 5000 horse power.

Funny thing the diesel has gone down quite a bit but having the few trucks and equipment I buy and have shipped to me the per mile price has not gone down yet.

Improper load distribution.

Not sure but it was not easy to miss while driving down rt 34.

Thanks Keith appreciate it.

That's it I went right by it yesterday I may be going back through there in a couple weeks I know someone looking for one just like this how much were they asking for it?.

The wife bought me a smart phone I made her take it back I don't need to turn into a robot like most that have them now looking down at the phone oblivious to the world as they walk down the sidewalk tripping over the curbs.

I went out to my place in iowa today and driving through Monmouth IL I saw a real nice B model sitting outside dexters farm equipment for sale I don't see it listed on their website though. It looked like it may have been restored painted green nice polished grille shell single axle very nice truck sorry no pictures I still have a primitive flip phone.

It would be cheaper to buy one off ebay I got a new gold one for fifty bucks plus shipping.
