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?.

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.

Im not big in the patience department either I do some and walk away then come back later and do a little more.

I took these off a mack front 18000 pound 1977 RS axle I went with hub piloted wheels on the front I really don't know what their worth make me an offer if you need them I can put them on a pallet and ship them if need be.

Who knows somewhere down the line I may drop a V8 into it I like to work on trucks when I get it to my liking I always go one step further guess Im just bored I always did that with my military trucks. As stated before it always depends on the amount of money I have at the time to limit my work on my trucks I spoke to a friend about maybe buying a used V8 this summer he says they are to expensive to buy as take outs I will have to buy a running truck and part it which is out of the question I will not ruin one truck to upgrade another unless I can find a wrecked parts truck somewhere.

Thanks its been a learning experience lots of buffer time getting the haze off the aluminum the aluminum wheels came off a redi mix truck and were covered with concrete lots of CLR and steel wool work before buffing them.

Ever since I was a high school kid I have always liked the long hood R models.

Its kind of growing on me having the rears stock I wont have the money to even think of changing them out for a while anyways.

No they are five foot pipes I wanted to keep them the stock height above the cab.

Best you can do is walk away far away from that until it either grenades or locks up.

Thanks guys its a real pleasure to tool around town in cant wait until next summer.

This is what happens when a 3800 horsepower engine starts to run on its own crankcase oil and no way to shut it down it will run way over its governed 950 RPM until the weakest link lets go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvMl8LUzQnk
