tjc transport

still looks a whole lot better than it did.

nope. i was asked to once and refused. the floor driving is only in the lowboy. fill the seat up and 5 minutes later you are back on the floor. but at least you can see decently out of that truck when low in the seat.

yup. 99% of 12 inch window blockers and super tall shifters are on trucks driven by floor sitting "super truckers" that can not see anything less than 1/4 mile ahead of them.

i don't mind sun visors, especially if they are at roofline and above windshield. what get me is the ones that drop down 8-12 inches below roofline blocking half the windshield. i think they should be illegal. just like side window visors that block half the window view.

he said it was being loaded on a beam for the move and if he got enough interested responses he would ask to film that too.

i wonder if the "Gary" mentioned is Gary Mahan?

i still have one of these Polaroid SLR670 "pop up" instant cameras around here somewhere with 2 color film cartridges. looks like i should put it up for sale, , B&H is selling them for $879!!

Paul, they were also offered with the detroit 4 stoke "fuel pincher" 8.2 diesel. totally gutless pigs, but the power companys loved them because they would not go fast enough for the drivers to get pulled over for speeding.

way back when i was much younger we had 2 of them. one was a 20 foot box single axle with 453 detroit, 5 speed trans and 2 speed rear. the other was a 453 turbo 26 foot box tandem axle 5 speed eaton overdrive trans.

i gotta ask............... did you straighten that damn exhaust yet?????🤣

i also had a ton of truck pics from truckin nationals at englishtown that were all lost in a house fire in 95, just before i moved to this place.

well, since you used to be able to buy a Mack with cat engine, it is not total sacrilege. the problem i see with the 3408 engine is availability.

correct. one was a Mack, one was a Scania, and the third was an Volvo

Joey heard the ms13 was looking for him after he dissed the local messicans and is hiding under a rock in an undisclosed location.

the "third stick" the tester was talking about was the hand parking brake. 🤣

never had driver training Bob. i started driving the quad box international at 13 because i did not want to throw 100 lb bales of hay. proved i could drive it and got the job. in the fall i was delivering trailer loads of grain to the co-op 25 miles away. took that truck for my license road test at 17 too. and failed because the tester "did not know how to drive a truck with three shifters." went inside and complained ot the DMV branch manager. tester said three shifters. manager asked what i was driving and i pointed out the window. he passed me without road test. i got in the truck and drove home. they never even realized i did not have a licensed driver with me..

i thought i was a king when i got to drive moms 59 pontiac ventura. 389 4 barrel with auto trans. it was a great improvement over the 49 international L190 with the 406 red diamond 6 cylinder gas engine and quad box trans.

same here in Jersey. if you take road test in manual trans truck, you get unrestricted class A license. if you take road test in automatic truck, you get automatic only restriction on your license.

these days, most of the time in Manhattan you are lucky to get out of low split in the trans!!!

it is a trans retarder. when actuated it will downshift the trans for braking effect.

they are NOT here to kill us JoJo. thy are here to take over and enslave us into good little worker ants.

in his defence, the glock is very hard to disassemble if you do not get the bar properly aligned. i bought a larger takedown bar, and still have problems sometimes. the glock is nothing like any other firearm that have a flip down lever. any of my smith and wesson or sig guns i can take the barrel and slide off in under 15 seconds. the glocks take over a minute to get the barrel and slide off. on edit: after watching the video again, i realized what he did wrong. AFTER pulling the slide back a hair and releasing the slide lock, you need to pull the trigger to release the slide for disassembly. he never pulled the trigger, so it would not come apart.

that would be a Ford Lehman diesel.. 120 HP at 2500 RPM. very popular in europe . not so much here.

agreed. NY sanitation had automatics in the Macks as far back as 1970 that i know of.

two almost identical trucks. X15 565 hp, Allison RDS 4500 trans one has 3.90 gears, the other has 4.56 gears. 3.90 geared truck will do over 90 mph, and gets 8-10 mpg LOADED 80,000 lbs on long runs cruise set at 65. 4.56 geared truck tops out around 75, and gets 6-8 MPG on the same long runs same weight cruise set at 65. 3.90 geared truck is a slug and can not get out of its way, and gets stuck on wet grass loaded. 4.56 geared truck is a race car, and out pulls small cars off traffic lights loaded. and goes through anything you drive it in. it is not the engine, or trans. it is the gear ration in the rears that made that international a slug.
