One thing no one seems to give any mention to here, even if the amount of grade is half (still too much for a loaded truck that isn't application specific) When this thing ends up going backwards, there's not going to be any stopping it. No foundation brakes are ever gonna hold this thing still going backwards . (lol) buy a pump and some pipes .
-
Could you imagine try'n to drive it ? Can't see anything. I'm sure a small car like that with several hundred extra pounds of blowers and turbos feels great too. (lol)

I drove by those guys on strike last week. Couldn't help but wonder if any of them ever heard of Brockway trucks.

New Remack MP7 engine. Complete long block assembly on shipping skid. $16,000.00 . No core required . Stored in heated shop and rotated periodically.

I never would have guessed Brocky is 78. Holy cow.

awwww...... that's beautiful 🤮

What's a Backdrop Manifold?
Mark T replied to Dan Cary's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
855s were mid to later '60s. Not sure exactly when. It'd be a very large book explaining Cummins engines by the year and such. -
Pretty sure it's supposed to be like that here too Paul. The jerkoffs in charge though don't seem to care . I guess when you don't have much respect for yourself, it shouldn't be expected that you'd respect your country. ( or even have any knowledge of silly things like what a country's flag stand for ) It's called ignorance.

🤔 You'd think it'd be a Volvo

Turns out "ol meathead wasn't really act'n. Who knew ???

What's a Backdrop Manifold?
Mark T replied to Dan Cary's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Back drop was a Cummins thing. I can't think of any other manufacturer that did much with exhaust manifolds other than where the outlet was in relationship to the application. I don't know if the back drop was a performance thing , maybe it was like the grandfather to the pulse manifold (lol) One thing for sure, on a healthy engine, they make a distinct note , and they sound great in my opinion. -
That was Meathead back in the '70 ya know. Fitting

One thing I can't understand. This idiot has done more in his time in office to get drugs and pharmaceuticals into every American than anyone in history. Vaccines, fentanyl, clean crack pipes and needles, narcan vending machines...... makes El Chapo look like a kid snuck a joint into high school. How does no one notice or say anything ? He's doing his best to get something into every single person one way or another.

A I...... it's a two letter word. Headboard 🤣

(lol) Holy F@&% How many yards does one of those come out to ?
-
I hope those tires are the proper size for that FJB edition . The part about the ones for it costing more sounds right, but.....c'mon man.
-
True, but old spacers are often squeezed in some, then the difference from manufacturers ???? can't just take for granted there's gonna be enough there to clamp different rims in place. That's assuming the spoke is in good shape too. Not uncommon to find them missing some parts after a rim spins past the lumps around the valve stem. Tight lug nuts are no guarantee rims are tight .
-
That truck was here a couple weeks ago. It's alive and almost the same as in the pictures (has newer rubber now) I think a 420 is a Magnum . Cummins cocktailed them together with the influx of Small Cams that were cores when guys upgraded to a Big Cam. Then had some newer advancements engineered into them and were sold as a factory recon. I think they were 420s
-
Picture 2 would go on the outside of duals on a spoke. Changing from tube type to tubeless requires reevaluating the hardware you're using, as at the very least the spacer in the back is often a different width. Then you need to make sure the wedges are correct too. Steer axle isn't as fussy.

Picture 1 on the steer.
