Clevleland was the first of the 335 family. Back in the late '60s when Ford came out with the 460 someone from Ford looked at a Big Block Chevy's canted valve arrangement and said "hmmm.... we need something like that" So they made the 460 and 429. They were called the 385 family. Oh, and they were coo coo powerful just how they came in the land yatchts they came in (Lincoln Mark 3s 365 HP/500lb/ft torque and the 429 Thunderjet wasn't too far behind 360/480) Then there were a handful of high performance 429s . Then they decided to use the same arrangement in a smaller engine. The 351 Cleveland. The first ones were pretty strong and responded to being hot rodded. They were sorta short lived though because of strickter emission requirements. By that time, The FE family (352s, 360s 390s 406s 427s and the 428) were all gone. The 351M was still a 335 (as well as The 400M) and kinda filled the void of the 360s in the light trucks. The old 289s, 302s and 351 Windsors were all based on the same platform. The 302 and 351 Windsor seemed to hold on a while in pickups and passenger vehicles. Ford must have spent a fortune retooling over the years, they had lots of different engines , many for the same applications too.

Can't help but think Freightrain could clear this up. But I'm pretty sure a 351M is in the 335 family.

M was a denutted Cleveland. Kept the canted valve arrangement but were lower compression lot less cam.

Gotta be careful with the shocks on those. If I'm not mistaken the shocks limit the travel of the suspension. If the shocks are too long it's possible to be ripping the leveling valve off or blowing bags.

Cool. Just for the record, no one would be offended if you posted some more about the Superliner. (hint hint)

Oh wow.... that looks pretty nice.

'55 Ford pickup ????

Good chance that's what it is, and just rust jacked. Easy fix.

If it isn't factory (???) it might be covering a crack in the frame. As far as alignment worst you're looking at is replacing the torque rod with a different one. Maybe a Unirod and some shims to set it correctly. Or ??? someone may have already been through that if (?) that inside plate was added. That outside plate is nothing to replace.

Let's roll FDNY never froget they forgot next they'll be turning The Statue of Liberty to face meca

Didin't their cousin get a new job in NYC or something like that ?

A 1241C is almost as big as the 18 speed Fuller.

See Bob. One of those horses and almost looks like a walking dragline in the background.

Odd to see. ( I guess not everyone would get it ) Big difference from when I cut my teeth working out of the Daleville quarry back in the '80s. Back then it was all Macks and Autocars.

My guess, mixer from the mid '90s. They don't seem to care too much about the color of the equipment anymore. Up here on the Route 84 job, most of the stuff is whatever color. Seems the newer trucks are mostly white. Little sad seeing things change in some ways.

You can easily spend over an hour if you Google Tennessee Walking Horse, and not scratch the surface. At least that's what I found out last evening (lol) Interesting story, from so many angles.

Time was there was plenty of walking draglines around here. So why not a horse.

Now why would you think that ? (lol) Looks like maybe from a mixer.

Ahhh. They're big trucks. They dwarf the Macks....and the Macks are huge.

Two of those look like Hayes or Pacifics.

I saw and read about the yellow and white one in Wheels Of Time. This truck has way more history to go along with it.

Sorry, it's been sold. I thought Barry had one advertised here a while ago. Might not have been an '04 . I don't remember.

The interior trim around the pedals needs to be removed to expose it. It's where everything plugs between the cab and chassis. So what you see outside on the cowl with the light harnesses plugged into it is the panel itself. Inside it looks like a fusebox with breakers.

I just sold one of those. I almost wanna say Barry had one advertised on here not too long ago.
