Truck Shop

                                      Sometimes equipment that's brokered for sale is a good thing, brokers want to make money too. But if it ain't sell'in sometimes the prices will drop.

                                       And there just it's that many ruby's left setting anymore so if it's rusty or has a blown engine well you have to take what you can get.

                                Except I see several more ads for other trucks by the same person and in the back ground of a pic for 80 KW is guess what? Another B-73 or B-75 or B-77 setting painted white.

                                 Actually I could own it and use my wheel lift to go it. But I don't know what I could do with it along with all the other stuff I find.  My body is running out of fuel.

                                       I had one of these with 2sp kick back in the mid 60's it was a tough bicycle.  Then twenty four motorcycles through my life, several junkers and several nice ones.

                                       A pic of one fast and one fairly fast 05 barge I owned. Had three wings truthfully the 95 1500 I had was the best one.

I see a pair of glad hands and light plug.    Can you hook to the front of a trailer with the wheel lift?

Glad hands are there so I have trailer brakes if moving a tractor and trailer together. Female socket for tow lights. And yes Zacklift makes a fifthwheel attachment for moving 

trailers.

i'm surprised the camera didn't break on the last picture!!!

I told him to focus on my good side and it didn't seem to help much!

                                 I showed this video to a friend that is a retired engineer and he estimated 35 to 40 mph on the train. The stopping distance at that speed on hard braking and depending

                                  weight of train would be over a third of a mile to a half mile. Just his opinion.        Dumb Shit truck driver not reading signs and knowing his rig/ That's my opinion.

                              I'm with you on those A Cars. The B series 73, 75 and Lt's are first place with me followed by 50's and early 60's A Cars like the DC102"s. Then the 523 KW's then 351 Pete's.

Out of curiosity, what's the reason for them on a wheel lift?

It's getting a 30,000 Lb winch plus with air ride when setting the truck being towed back on the ground once it's tires make contact the tow trucks suspension takes time to equalize.

Does that set-up make it feel real light on the steer axle?    terry

Steering is really good it runs down the road with 8,800 on the steer axle with one in tow. The steer empty weight with full tanks is right at 12,000. Total dry weight is 28,000.

A binder is a International truck, or Navistar. They were at one point the same international harvester that made farm equipment, so they got the corn binder nickname. 

Or Corn Queen

                         I sent a e-mail to the fire chief at the Montecito Fire Dept to see if they had any old photos of their past fire engines. Most fire houses keep things like that.

                         So who knows maybe there is some info there too.
