    CHs could be made with a liner in the frame. Wasn't uncommon to see them with 46s and a liner. The CH tended to be a little lighter in the front end. I'd think the frames only got so big too. (like able to handle some weight on the blacktop, not able to take it twisting over rough terrane) I sold one of my tractors like he's describing 20 years ago to a guy that put a body on it and lined the frame with bent plate. It's still going to this day pulling the tag along and hauling 15 ton loads.

    He might be thinking of a CT they were '06s

    RD or CV GU CL all depends what you plan on doing with it. For some guys this truck in question may do the job....others it may not. It's likely a Fuller RTX14609B in it and around a 4.11 or 4.30 axle (probably Eatons) an 8LL is like that tranny with a deep reduction (kinda) Lots of work to put into something after buying it unless it was really a good deal. Nobody's give'n 8LLs away or put'n them in for free.

    Personally, I don't think there's anyone better to be the shutterbug at these events than OD

    You're most likely looking at a tractor someone made a dump truck out of. CHs in general were only so big as heavy spec goes. It'll probably work for some jobs and others would destroy it fast. You never mentioned if it's a Mack or Fuller 9 speed. Or how big the engine is. Changing the transmission ? If it's a Fuller in there now, an 8LL would be the one to change to. In general, it sounds like maybe this truck isn't the best choice for you.

    Yes. Those shoes are as ridiculous on her as on me.....even with my shapely legs 🦵🦵

    It'll even work under clothes....like a blouse or something

    Saves a lot of headaches sometimes. Some stuff you need to kinda know what to look for but I'd buy another one in a second after having one.

    Oh come on..... just cause she could've made a better choice for an outfit ? Give'r a break . Some may be shocked to learn a woman who knows car or truck show apparel is a rare find.

    My old SnapOn guy got me that . It was around 20 years ago. It is handy . That and the camera. The resolution on that is really good and it can interface with something with a bigger screen

    and in case you're kick'n it old school avoid some guess work

    CH never really was big enough to be a "good" tri-axle chassis. They only got so big.....but I've seen plenty made into them . Not ideal, but they work. Not sure where this truck is either, maybe weight limits aren't so high. The hours sound sorta high, but may or may not mean a lot about how much life is left in it. I don't see a black or white answer for this guy's question by reading some text , easier to give him an evaluation (opinion) actually seeing the truck.
  16. Mark T
    Yes and again by the porta potties . Sorta looks like maybe experiencing a wedgey

    Nowadays there's guys (?) that call a truck with a manual transmission a "shifter truck " then you might hear them say something like " they wanted me to drive 62, but that's a shifter truck...it's not on my license, so I got the day off "

    Lots of those guys never drove a truck with no power steering, let alone two sticks.....or know what to do with them.
  19. Mark T
    I'm gonna look again. Only so I can see what it is you're describing......just for good measure
  20. Mark T
    Those engines , the cam gear isn't keyed. But if it did move a little everything else would be off too. Not just one cylinder.

    It's a good show. Over here they were a really popular truck that guys liked. Seems like every year a few more seem to materialize. Maybe I view it that way cause I remember them from when I was young or cause my first truck was one. Draws trucks ( all Brockway ) from several states and even out of the country.

    ???? I was referring to the foot traffic where all the cars were 😇

    This one has me curious now.

    I'm starting to notice a pattern here 🤔

    I remember years back a guy used to not pay attention to the injector washers (at the tip) Those engines made some odd noises.
