    Well, we made our deadline for the Barrington Old truck meet in Deering, NH. It's been a long road in a short time, but the old dog runs good now. Still a long way to go, but we know it will get there and back home now atleast. Cosmetics are on docket now.

    Junk. Solo clutches are intended for long haul OTR companies who has zero maintenance control when the steering wheel holder can't figure out that they have no free play. At the dealer I work at, we finally got it thru our sales dept to spec only easy pedal clutches. And we only put Solo's back in if warranty or customers request. They never work right and 9 times out of 10, easy pedals, when driven correctly, get double the mileage (similar vocation) as a junk solo clutch.

    Thanks for the tid bits of information. Having a real hard time sourcing pistons for the old girl. My local Mack guy is going to call Barry at Watts tomorrow, but does anyone know where I could get pistons for this, OEM or aftermarket? 4.875 bore with the 1.875 wrist pin. I found plenty of 2 inch wrist pin pistons available. I found PAI has the right config, but its a lower compression ratio piston I'm assuming for a turbocharged engine. 15:1 vs my 16.1:1. Any thoughts on that as well? Thanks!

    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while I have the pan off, so main bearing cap torque and I have a head torque procedure from 1973, but with the newer superceded gaskets, has the torque procedure been updated?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.
