1965

That air cleaner looks out of place.

6V53’s were tough engines but not designed for trucks. (My opinion) no 2 strokes were designed for trucks! Stationary engines

When was this picture taken; blower cars probably pretty rare then?

Hope you might be enjoyed with the result for the Christmas.

BMT!! Best group of people!

Merry Christmas

Paul, I know you probably already know this but from my understanding a lot of the old Lunati guys (before bought by comp cam) went to Bullet cams. I know mr. Joe & Joey personally. My understanding the bullet cam is a true steel stick where the new Lunati cams & comp cams are not 

actually I think Lunati was bought by Holley 

Are you sure the date was 2016?

Worked for a buddy of mine for a year mechanicing. Worked on couple 4500’s, pulled heads off 1 duramax (impressive engine compared to power strokes; my opinion) easy to work on compared to p/u’s. Helping a friend now that has an 04, 4500 he bought used from an abusive place; very impressed with drivetrain (pulling 450 jd dozer on gooseneck); but hard to find parts for now. ( interior parts) since they quit making them. I like the looks of the new 1’s coming out. My opinion again they need a gas option; me personally with the gas engines today; I’d rather have it compared to all the bullshit on the diesels & price per gallon. But they need a big block instead of the 6.0.

Everybody; wait; (lots of people needs these)!!!!

Was pretty common here to Tack Weld a bit of 1/4 inch rod around the outside of a spacer. if you needed one a bit wider that what you had..

Glad I haven’t been asked to do that; never would’ve gotten a true rotation!

We know you can’t get your wives to do that

They need to upgrade where they mount the fuel filter’s; so does GM on there duramax! 

Service dept can print out some sort (half ass) sheet; doesn’t tell you much 

Parts dept can tell you gear ratio with your vin #

I would find the truck you want

What trucks?

They need the greater engine accessibility to do the injectors every 200,000 miles or less

What about 1 of those Fitzgerald gliders 

Wouldn’t think it would need overhaul 

Thinking back they had a farmall truck, single axle that had a big 6cyl. Probably late 60’s model; it pulled great; but got a 70’s model Chevy & 427 & changed carberator on it & it was a bad dude; couldn’t put anybody in it.

Actually found two!  Both with the I.H. v8's

When I was a kid; the fellows I helped in farming, had a 60’s something model farmall bob truck; (345 I think) tough as nails, block had been welded where it had frozen. Ran like a champ but was very hard to hold in the road. Good times! Taught me a lot

Nowadays you can’t listen to dealers; nobody there has experience; just what I’ve learned
