Yes yes.... and able to travel hundreds if not thousands of miles by foot.... and know the way.  No one seems to notice that part either.

They no longer hold the most powerful v8 truck anymore. A Chinese company called Shacman now makes a 800hp V8 truck. Don't know much outside of that.

Might still be the most powerful V8 that actually runs and has a life.  You know the chinese one is reverse engineered .

That LTL is a mixed bag of Ford parts.  Tiny Hendrickson suspension on the cut off too, with U bolts.  I guess if it was a farm truck it would be ok.  I kinda like it in some ways.  Cab's way newer than that hood.   That one step looks to be Peterbilt.  Some interesting trucks there .

That looks like a pretty solid truck, then there's this 78 LTL that's really impressive

https://www.auctiontime.com/listings/trucks/auctions/online/223584747/1978-ford-ltl9000

The front of that is in pretty nice shape.  That has an equally impressive stretch job on the frame. 

How about on the page ?   there's a '78  that's interesting too.

2500 m ???   How about doing it at 50 years old ?

Dunno about all of this is better than that type of deal

I feel more seals are damaged by people not keeping the hub square to the axle when sliding the hub back on than any wear and tare 

Or people not cleaning the hub out properly before driving the new seal home and seal not been able to sit square afterwards 

Both these types of seals work fine for many 100s of thousands of km if fitted properly and the breathers kept clean

I believe you're right Paul.  Reason I went to CR was cause of the anti lock brakes.  Then after accumulating all the tools for them, I gave away all my Stemco tools.   Your last line is often overlooked. Nothing has a chance of working if it's ruined from the word go.

I'm serious. by then I'll be in my seventies. I'd like for common sense to make a come back before then, but there'll still be diesels lingering by then.  Even if they are Howos.

What's the worry ?   By the time it happens ??? all of our Jazzys are already electric.

Wouldn't the three filters be an "ESI" option?  Std is 2 filters?

Larry.....STD is never a good option

I’m looking to replace my tires on my 79 r model,it has 1100/22 on it now.Can’t seem to find them,so I was thinking of going with new wheels and 11r22..5 what are you throughts.What size tire replaced the 1100/22 is there one?

An 11/22 is a 12/24.5.  11/24.5 will go right on yours'  but you may need different spacers and wedges.  An 11/24.5 will be a little smaller than a 11/22, and depending on manufacturer you may not even notice.  !!!!!  22.5 is tubeless 20" and 24.5 is tubeless 22" !!!!!   AND 24" tube type is a whole different animal all by itself.  Confused yet ? (lol)

glad Mark said it first then :: wouldn't want to give away just how old I am when I saw pictures of release and a "few other old age items"!!LOL

You're ok Mech. If you pointed out a single disc pump..... well then I'd wonder

Compression release??????? my God bud you’re giving away your age.. lol bob

😂

That's a Small Cam in that truck. I see a compression release on there.  Looks to be a 350 with the intercooler on it.

Thanks mowerman. didn't see it in person yet just going by description and pictures. I might be mistaken about the big cam, will find out soon 🧐

Also I'm gonna display my ignorance but what is the plus 3 cab?

Change to a Big Cam is a easy swap. After so many years, maybe it is by now ?

Hard drive is probably supposed to be yard drive

If you're correct , then the shape that hood is in gives me a yard on .    Lots of goodies on that truck still.

Yes, a few years back if you want to run around with women’s clothes on the town would’ve run you out on a rail now we’re all supposed to except this misfits behavior

But this bird brain is going for the  pre puberty girl look.  What kinda creeps think that should be celebrated let alone encouraged ?   It's really strange .

Thing I don't get,   yeah  the guy's a fruit cake and all , but he's trying to look like a little girl. Who in their right mind finds anything attractive about that. It's really weird.

We haven't recovered post holidays moving liquor thru the warehouse. Second/third week of Feb you see it picking up but not this year. We are 30 to 40% behind last year.    .....Hippy  

Proof biden's economic plan is working.....it's no joke.      Between that and the budweiser thing, at least drinking is down.......or maybe more people are just going straight to fentanyl
