    Hi all. Got our little MB torn apart with a confirmed cyl 4 blown head gasket. Sourced all the needed gaskets to do the job, but as the picture shows, I have more issues then just a head gasket. Once I source the pistons, (all are well cracked up) going to need the torque specs for the rod caps, I'd like to drop and check a main bearing while I have the pan off, so main bearing cap torque and I have a head torque procedure from 1973, but with the newer superceded gaskets, has the torque procedure been updated? Hoping someone can get help me out! Thanks!!

    l dropped the trailer across town Thursday at a friends shop. He was nice enough to swing 12 ton of wood pellets from the delivery truck to the pup. Saturday morning l went down to bring it home. l didn't break any speed limits with the MB but sure as hell was leading the parade that was following me. Even took the extra long way around to avoid climbing a hill before getting home. lt was a slow ride but we got it done. Hippy

    Looking at the ones with the tracks on them. I'm thinking that you would want to keep your elbows in by your side. Might hurt more getting hit by the track than shifting in a concave cab B model. Great pictures and Thank you 41chevy for starting this one. Hippy

    And it looks like she has no plans on letting you return the truck to the previous owner......

    Jim, l don't know about Ovnt and CFWYs. But l do know the ICC would never let Red Ball and Navajo merge. The logo would have been a blue eyed Indian with red balls!

    I had a '77 R600 with a 36" bunk on it. Always thought an R700 with a 60" Peterbilt flat top sleeper would have been sweet.

    Went and got this ole Corn Flake pup this morning with my son. He has a Ford L7000 ex CF tractor that he'll have ready in the fall to pull the pup. 53 mph downhill with a tail wind, but without fault it came home.

    I'm thinking l still have one of those Messenger 250's somewhere. Had a Cobra XLR in the truck. "KGT 0204 will be 10-10 till we do it again".

    City of Manchester, NH runs double wings in the city. Depends which side of the street the cars are parked as to which wing is down. A one way street can be completely plowed in one pass. NH State highway department will plow the interstate in convoy. Lead truck will have double wings and plow to the left. Every truck has a wing including the hired trucks. I even have one to do my own driveway.

    HeavyGunner, I agree with you 100%! I'm stuck driving a Volvo with an "I Shift" and l hate it. l'm no longer a truck driver, just a steering wheel holder now.

    Oh Boy! They come flying up along side of you and pace you. And then run you up onto someone going slower. Or your trying to pass one and they speed up so you can't get by. And leave you hanging out in the left lane with a long line behind pushing.

    Ranchhopper, Thank you very much for taking the time to help honor our older veterans. This past summer my wife and l were in Washington DC on vacation. While we were at the WW2 memorial an Honor Flight tour arrived. What a moment it was to see the men and woman's expressions as they looked around the memorial. "A wall of 4,048 Gold Stars silently pays solemn tribute to the sacrifice of more than 405,000 American lives." (Info from nps.gov) God bless all our veterans.

    Welcome Bert412, The company l drive for covers all of NH delivering to 79 stores. We use "Cheetah" powered by "Sprint" on our EOR's. When all goes as it should the dispatcher can look and see if we are moving or stopped and on or off duty. The problem we have is Sprint does not cover the whole state. When you are out of the service area for Sprint the office can not track you. Then when you get back into the service area you need to reboot your tablet. All the info for the trip is saved in the tablet tho, Log book-VIR-Route/Delivery times.

    Escutcheon, So that's what that little "SOB" is called!

    Your just the one to ask!....... Don't you need a head board/cab protector when you pull a trailer like that? l see them all the time up here in NH without one. The truck is nice with that stretched out look.

    That MB that you saw Maddog on craigslist in VA is now in my door yard here in NH. My father and I are putting her back to her glory one thing at a time.
