1961H67

Lol, to be honest I have never compared it to the others, it’s a Superliner 1 , all the others are 2s . I’ll look tomorrow. 

It’s For sale . 

My parts LJ has that kind of PS system, I might swap it later. It will work fine on your truck. My H Model was a bear too steer after I stretched it and put the rollback on it . I had a couple of newer parts trucks with TRW boxes, I had to make a mounting plate, make a Pittman arm , mount a hydraulic pump , It works great, but a lot of fabrication . 

Would Love to see some pictures posted, It sounds very interesting ! 

Thanks,, It always had a taller look then most LJs I’ve seen, it does have 10:00 /22 ( now 11R24.5) ) .it gets its the higher look from the springs , it has a few more leaves then my parts LJs , it’s never been changed , at least since 1963 . It really does look like the old Howard Johnson picture I have. 

Congratulations! Your getting a little taste of a backdrop on a 220 ! 

You will love that sound in a pull! 

Stack and support looks great,, the original stack on this LJ was bolted to the cab, I have a couple of parts Superliners with mounts similar to the one you used. Not sure which way I’ll mount it,, yours looks dang good ! 

Thanks,, it went very smooth. 

Hey that sounds great,, I’ve got 2 parts LJs ( one is gas) and they are both plumed a little different, especially to the air gov. , that would be great if you have time for a few pictures of the firewall. That copper is pretty much still in good shape, and it’s like a puzzle, keep turning and trying and eventually it will fall into place,, but pictures will make it easier. Thanks! 

Great! 50 Years! Nice 700 ,,, Thanks for sharing! 

Yep we’ve all seen times change,, Good Stories though.  At this point I’m just looking forward to driving this LJ again before I get to old ! 

The 1st B model I bought was $ 1000, in 1977 , then gave $ 2000 for one in 1979 , Then I bought a real nice one in 1988 , gave $4,500 ! How times have changed! 

My Son is 32 ,, he’s already regretting getting rid of a couple trucks,, Time Keeps Rolling Along! 

You are so right,, we can’t save everything,, I remember my Dad saying the same things when I was a teenager about T models . Lol, Life goes on .

I’m going to try to set the cab on this week, since I don’t have a wiring harness ( it has literally Zero wiring) I’m thinking it might be easier to wire up with no fenders, doors on it .for easy access. 

Yep ,, same here, B models,, Willys trucks, Chevelle SS ,, I’ve hauled them all to the crusher at one point. Luckily I hung on to a few,, but like you, I could have restored the ones I kept with the money the crushed ones would be worth now.
