  1. That truck is in nice shape for the age of it and looks fairly complete. Hope it finds it's way to a White enthusiast
  2. Small Cam. Not a 350. Hard to tell much more. That was a pretty nice truck in it's time AC power steering Jake extended hood. and look at that second ride enhancing shock .
  3. Like you said earlier, who knows what someone did to it. But that post from Ricky almost suggests something didn't work in the first place ??? Maybe it's how I read it. If it's not miss matched airlines or a leaky O ring ( odd it just started ) I'd consider checking where the shifter bolts on the top cover. Maybe something in there is wrong with the neutral gate ? Like that thing that looks like a torpedo maybe was damaged during the R & R of the shifter.
  4. Hi/low was not (?) working ? are you referring to the range valve ? (flipper on the front of the knob) or the blue button on the side ? I'm gonna guess this is a Fuller 8LL ?
  5. You're going to have to pressurize it to check it. It's a good sign it'll hold water, but a little heat and even a couple pounds of pressure ??? if it has issues, they'll show fast. No one here wants you to go for evaluation .
  6. If I blow this up too much, it gets blurry. Makes it hard to see the tougher ones to notice.
  7. Or maybe it's a Louisville 🤔
  8. Looks like the R Model door says Swishy in one and nothing in one.
  9. That coupe at the 2.22 .... holy cow, what a hot rod that would make.
  10. This bus had me curious. I Googled Crown Coach. Turns out the one in the picture is a "Supercoach" and interestingly enough ..... the founder of the company was a fella by the name of Brockway. Says some of those Supercoaches could move almost 100 kids. Once again OD posts an attention getting picture.
  11. Maybe that's something new, I hear there's issues with child obesity (or one of those compartments could be a litterbox) . Whatever it is , looks like it's in good shape.
  12. Swish ???? I don't know if you posted this before or not, but for those of us who missed it..... we need a little story on this one. "MACKWORTH" ??? please do tell ????
  13. That picture , he really looks like his low life kid Hunter. 😳

    Input shaft and front cover are common things to replace, and are pretty easy. Eaton has that clutch kit comes in a thing like a brief case with all that in there. A reman 8LL gotta be around $6500.00 now I'd guess.

    That bearing cover you mentioned ? The one where the brake is squeezed against ?? take a 7/16 bottoming tap and thread two adjacent holes, screw a couple bolts in as jack screws and it comes right off. no damage to the 3/8s threads on the case and no removing the housing .
  16. Sounds like a Hendrickson AL The weight rating is determined mostly by the Z spring in them. Pretty good air ride, but that Neway I'm thinking of us what the guys use for weight
  17. I'd be looking for a big NeWay . The big one with the adaptors for the housings like in a camelback and the big giant nuts on the back of the trailing arms where the cross brace is. (I'm sure there's a name for this) Pretty robust suspension .
  18. If anyone ever saw that movie Better Off Dead, this broad is pretty close to Ricky's Mom when she had the dinner for the for the French foreign exchange student .
  19. After reading this over and over (and factoring in it sat around for a period of time) makes me think it has something in the governor sticking. Not the ideal thing to ignore. Watch that video with that guy that hates the Detroits . Might need it's injection pump looked at by a reputable pump shop.
  20. The back of it sorta looks like a great grandfather to a '63 Vette. That Dodge with the welder looks like it's not far from driveable, let alone in fantastic shape overall.
  21. He had a song years ago. It was Froofie or roofie the dog or something like that. Who knew it was inspired by starting fluid. On a serious note, sounds like this dude's truck for some reason has no fuel pressure without some RPMs
  22. I think there was a special ether called Roofy brand he used. Must have been one of those old ones that you could seat a bead with .
  23. Wasn't there some legal issues with Cosby in someone's can ?
