    that is a big engine. a better fit would be a 6BT. they can easily make 350 hp with very little money.

    same here. i bought my place 27 years ago for 60grand. the house across the street sold three years ago for 404 grand, and three weeks ago for 570 grand. i was already offered 300 for my one bedroom place with 24X26 garage.

    actually, not really. falcons do not bring the big bucks. a 289 4 speed 65 sprint in showroom condition will be lucky to see 10 grand, where a "15 foot" 6 cylinder automatic mustang will easily bring 15 grand.
  4. tjc transport
    nope. last year for the sprint was 65. and there were not many made in 65. but i hear you on the lot of money. in 77 i was offered 17 acres with a 2500 square foot house and 100X50 two story barn for $17,000. those 17 acres sold 3 years ago for 4.5million.

    65-66galaxy for me. And with the falcon, it is 64-65.

    auxiliary output #1 voltage high, or low.

    here in the united states johnny law does not like it when truckers getting stoned.

    Me thinks it is all because of the demonrats "Ukraine good Russia bad " BS. If Ukraine was not as corrupt as their demonrat backers, i don't think Russia would never have acted

    a spammer is all one color, usually a grayish tint. and can usually also be found near a square tin can with rounded edges.

    cab overs were very scary when bobtailing. especially short frame single axles. a good brake jab on dry roads and you could feel the rear come up and the cab start tipping over. the twin screw long frame freightliner i had was not nearly as bad.

    Corbitts. thats it!!! i had a brain fart and could not place the brand. at first i thought Federal too, but Federals never had the vertical bar grills. OD, if the AT wrecker is indeed a Brown, it is a rebadged Corbitt from the early years.

    two trucks i can not identify. the Thurston tractor, and the Associated Transport wrecker.

    why no pictures of the "helpers" JoJo?
  15. tjc transport
    It very well could be a "home made" trailer out of an old truck frame. But with those solid tires, you need heavy springs to compensate for no tire sidewall flex.

    Kinda sorta Bob. Two 12 volt batteries will supply power longer than four 6 volts. But the four 6 volts will supply a lot more amps.

    yea, i have recommended many a person to run away from auctions. most listen, the ones that do not pay the price. unless of course you know the seller. i made quite a few good purchases over the years at auctions, usually paying less than the before auction asking price.
  18. tjc transport
    auction specials. fresh paint and let it fly.

    but no one can laugh at or add to your comments in chat.

    all our trucks run 120-125 psi. the higher the pressure the lower the tire temps when loaded.

    i tried telling the steering wheel holders if they slowed down in the quarries, they would not run the water wagons out spraying the roads with dirty mud water to keep dust down and making the trucks all mud brown. "if you see a dust cloud, you are going too fast" their response is, cant make no money driving slow. i get paid the same driving 60mph, or 6 mpg.

    i never saw one do that much damage. but i have seen close calls. that is why i never use "death wheels" cutting torch, or plasma cutter the past 17 years since i ran out of oxygen and never refilled the bottle.
  23. tjc transport
    120 lbs, or 50 lbs. makes no difference. it is all in the amount of power applied.
  24. tjc transport
    same here. the new t880 kenworth with 565 hp cummins and allison trans is almost impossible to get stuck or wheel hop, because put it in gear and go just enough throttle to move. the 2005 t800 with C15 cat and 8ll trans would get stuck every time the driver would go near sand. then i would have to spend 10 minutes getting it unstuck. he had a heavy foot and could not comprehend light on the throttle and feather the clutch. he would dump the clutch at 1/4 throttle and then floor it.
  25. tjc transport
    OUCH!!! I cringed just reading that, then you had to add the picture? i hope the docs are wrong and you regain use and feeling real fast.
