i would love to post pics, but the kids "borrowed" my digital camera and never returned it. here is a 1977 Brockway A-758 firetruck, and a 1988 RD-690s tandem dump for auction in Montgomery NY though.

yup, 57 was the first year for rochester fuel injection on the corvette. very hard to set up, but once set properly it ran like nothing else. a friend had a 62 vette with 327 Fuel injection. never ran rite, but he tinkered with it for years. one day around 74-75, he ran into a retired GM mechanic who suggested he set it to 57 specs instead of 62 specs. that was the the trick to making it from a ho hum runner to a race car. !!

every time i go to one of the local asphalt plants i drool over their water wagon. it is a 351 Brockway tandem. needs some sheet metal work as the back of the cab and bottom of the fenders are rotted, but otherwise it is one pretty old girl. even with the battleship gray house roller paint job.

DRL's are a regional thing. Canada requires them. US does not for now. .but some states do require them.
-
i probably would have agreed with you if we did not have a new T-880 in the yard. the 880 is the heavy construction big brother to the over the road tractor 680
-
looks more like a Kenworth T-680

Introducing Ford Trucks' new heavy tractor
tjc transport replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
it matches all the rest of the uggly european trucks. -
fairly easy. i got all the makes correct, and 17 of the 21 years correct.
-
sure are!! even the Pierce Arrow cars are getting to be rarer than hens teeth these days.
-
i agree Rowdy. my 2014 pickup has them, but they are disabled. everything else i own is old enough to not have those silly things because they are actually made of steel, not plastic like newer cars.

try using the trolley if it has one to turn the cruise off. my old 99 R model had a bad foot switch. it would not turn the brake lights on or the cruise off until you really stepped on the pedal.
-
ahhhh the toid one is a chebby chebell
-
brake lights turn the cruise off.

it would be a lot nicer of them to actually get the parts to replace the defective air bags. my 87 year old parents are in a car with no airbags because there are no replacement parts available to fix their car.

04 Granite CV713 with a e7-427?
tjc transport replied to Shmimc1973's topic in Engine and Transmission
my 05 CV713 had the 427 with an eaton 8LL trans it was a rocket!. would out pull, and out run the 05 T800 kenworth with the 470 C13 and 8LL trans i would still have it, but someone offered 25 grand more than what we paid for it and the boss sold it. -
nothing is as uggly as a volvo!!!
-
looking good. maybe it will be done in another year? 😁
-
that area is mostly pig and chicken farmers getting forced out by developers and imported town leaders that do not like the smell. my bet is it is either owned by one of the farmers getting forced out, or more likely by a developer that found it on the farm he bought and trying to cash in on someone that saves old things.
-
ya know what? you may be correct. that was 30 years ago. 12V71 in front and 671 in rear. they were rock/coal pans from Pennsylvania. heavy buggers too.
-
i used to love the 12V71 in the front of the terex TS 36. perfect heater for those cold winter days. sucked in the summer though, inside the cab got up around 130 degrees.

there was a very big M&G yard in port newark nj. they hauled all the cars that came into and out of the port all over the northeast.
-
you all should find a way to drive behind any JB Hunt facility and look at the "carnage yard" . the one in East Brunswick NJ has about a 4 acre "carnage yard" and it is usually full of both truck and trailers that are all tore up. usually 75% trailers and 25% trucks. it is plainly visible from the landfill behind it. i always look in whenever i go to the landfill to see new additions or the repair process on the wrecks.
-
same with milling and paving operations. automatic trans is a gift from god himself!!!.

you can't hurt something they do not have!!!
