Get it up to temp, remove the turbo oil return and divert it into a pail with oil in it. Rev it up and look for bubbles. (which will be sorta violent in the pail) Potentially messy way to check, but ???? lot cheaper to clean up than an inframe for no good reason.

Yep. Shovel'n and trying to market a prefab igloo.

I think the Brockway cab was different from the doors forward. Full width of the cab on the left side and the right side had a recess for an aircleaner. I'm think'n there was no outside air vent in the center of them in front of the windshiels either. At the same time, I almost remember the firewall panel looking the same as a Mack. There was a guy in New York that sawed one from the cowl back and reinstalled a newer R type mack cab from there back. Made himself a pretty clean 700 Series when he was done with it.

That's because you were 🤪

I had never heard of it. Never seen it around here on a shelf either. Looks to be something worth looking in to .

Where's the fifth wheel ? The height of the fifth wheel means something too in relationship to a dump trailer. IDK what kind of weight you're carrying, but distributed properly it wouldn't seem it should be beating you up as you described.

MRO ?

That XO Rust paint and primer in one is kinda nice . There's a Rust-Oleum version of it too. Or if you want to get fancy, the self etching primer for them and a sand job before the topcoat. Yields a nice job for spray paint.

Geeze......I'd have figured you've already watched every episode of BBT a couple times by now.

There's a block off plate for the cooler lines. It bolts on to the little threaded holes around where it's threaded for the pipe fittings.

Springs. They don't have to be broke to be worn out.

Does it have any caster ? Like from it missing because the springs are shot and the kingpins are straight up and down?

That may be a bigger insurance claim then wrecking a KIA

Once the Autocar got the "family" cab, it was all downhill from there. The ACL hung around a little, then ???? Sound familiar ?

Remember what they did to these.
