    i see no reason not to do it. a friend here in New Jersey still runs 4 237 powered trucks every day. slow and steady keeps you out of trouble.

    any topic that has not been knocked off the road into a ditch, than out of said ditch and across another road and through a river before the second page is full is only going to die a slow painful death...

    not only was that truck built with a 6 volt system, it was also positive ground too. so if it is now 12 volt negative ground, someone fiddled with the electrical system.

    enlarging the picture shows it has the"big" rears with bolt on axle caps. those old trucks were built for men, not todays steering wheel holders. a lot of them had armstrong steering. great air conditioning in the winter, and even better heat in summer. get in one at 210 pounds on a summer morning, and get out 12 hours later at 195 after sweating your asterisk off!!!

    those two abandoned "stores" look more like old gas stations to me.

    Yup. I had a bed engine brake plunger on my 79. So I wired up A two speed rear switch to work the engine brake. Young guys would look in the truck and see two sticks and a two speed rear switch. We would tell them it was a quad box with two speed rears.

    what do you mean? it could not drive you someplace you already are!!!

    looks like there is a grease zerk on the end. i always explained the mack 5 speed to multi range drivers like this: "this aint no gear jammer trans. pull it out of gear, take a nap and when you wake up slip it into the next gear" your E-6 should have around a 700 RPM band. so run it up to 2100 RPM, slip it out of gear, and around 1500 easily slip it into the next gear. same for downshifting. pull it out of gear and throttle up around 700 RPM and slip it into next lower gear.

    by using the clutch and putting trans in neutral, you are loosing your "place". downshift like normal and than when you come out of the turn you will know to either upshift, or downshift.
