  1. 🤔 looks like a muffler in the front of that truck. Must be some tanker of some sort ? Don't remember ever seeing anyone restore something like that. Look'n great though 😍
  2. Coming to an intersection close to home a guy was blocking traffic. I noticed it was a guy I know, and something was wrong. Turned out his kid used the Dodge pickup and ran it really low on gas.... so it was out of gas. It had that rotating knob shifter. Without it running there was no getting it out of park to even push it out of the way. I had never known that, or if there is some way to do it. All I could think was " God.... what a dumb set up"

    this one ?
  7. Maybe you'll like this steampunk version......feel the bern
  8. Why not just a newer housing and rear ? My buddy here had single axle coal trucks with them. It was like the back rear out of an air ride with 46s . And yes it was a double reduction drop in. Sounds like you're not loaded with options unless a 65 year old rear just happens to materialize for sale.

    OD..... she might be creeping the site , Then he's gonna really pay.
  10. 😂Bob's get'n the pressure on this one.
  11. That guy is the one that does the painting. He's in the issue with the two LTs set up with the log bunks if I remember correctly .
  12. USB cords and cell phone trinckettes and lately die cast model cars (lol)
  13. They were a handsome truck . Never noticed until a few years back.
  14. Guy at the Peterbilt dealer asked what this was when truck was in for warranty work last week.
  15. Nevermind the tractor with the bridge beam. How about someone explaining to me why I find those International Transtars to be so appealing . Back when they were common, I'd never have given one a second look.

    Impressive..... in a weird kinda way.
  17. Diamond T.... yes. Diamond Reo used it too. Funny when White acquired it all they never used this design, and instead made that 5000 series . I think these were also called "china closets"
  18. I believe that was what was referred to as a bustle back sleeper.
  19. You're probably not far off either
  20. Perfect.... diverse , too young to actually be effective and...... emission free vehicles . Talk about checks all the boxes
  21. Someone figured out too that the longer a truck sits as the warranty runs out, the less chance they gotta cover something.
  22. I had one of these that acted similar. Engine had worn rings. Loaded the EGR cooler with oily gook and restricted it's flow. These things are filthy cause of the EGR. I cleaned it all out and avoided any kind of idling. That one is still running, guy uses it as a extra truck. I'd pressure test the cap (like mentioned earlier) they do go bad and faster than you might think. How they could ruin anything as nice as an E Tech still makes me wonder.
  23. Doubt a Roadway woulda had 44s in it.
  24. DEF is basically mostly water. It's like 32.5% urea (or something like that)
