I would have to agree the E-9 was is a really cool looking truck when done up right. But theres nothing- Nothing like a very well done up B-model..

Commercial vehicle inspectors conducted a record number of inspections during Operation Air Brake - 20,810 - and found a slightly higher percentage of brake problems resulting in out-of-service orders than last year.

It's a scary situation with liberals in control. I just read in todays paper that since same sex marriage was voted down in California they're gonna try in N.Y. now, where the democrats have a majority, and 5 Supreme Court justices are over 70 now. The northeast and northwest pretty much control things, all the big city-big crime-big welfare areas, but the biggest land area voted republican...but i'm not gonna get into politics here...even though it seems like the country is going to hell in a handbasket at a rapid pace...i'm not sayin' nuthin'.

I agree whole heartedly...

Well Im Flying South to Houston Tx Tomorrow Night to pick up my Freight hauling truck down there and bring back a Modual for the Oil fields up in Prudhoe Bay. that will take a lil More than a week till I get back up here with that pig of a oversize load 14 foot High 90foot long and 12 foot wide. fun fun lol:P

Ohyeah I guess I forgot to mention that Im a Freight Relocation Specialist. (big fancy name for a gear shift jocky / Truckdriver) lol

indeed...I think we'd be much better off if McCain had won, but I wish Obama well. Nice avatar by the way!

Our sentiments as well the Whole state Voted for them but were a no account state Lousy 3 electoral votes here.we didnt even get counted, befor they were aready announcing obamanations victory.

Ohwell theres a bigger Plan in the mix anyways..

anyways as far as the Avatar yeah im wondering how long Ill getta keep it till Barry yells at me for swipin it from the mack site LoL

If the headlight panels are off a B73 they are narrower than a regular B61 panel, the B73 has a wider radiator than a b61, you could put the whole front off a B73, but the hood has to be completely redone. terry

Well that clears that up.. they wont work on my project.

thanks Terry

Rob

Do you know Sara?..I like Sara

Sara she is hot.lol

Done alot for Our State and now can Start doing that again here at home.

I was wondering what the reason for using Aluminum fender housings ya know that part that houses the headlight on each side of the fenders.

I have found some and was wondering if they would bolt up to a b63 series I found these from a guy here that has some that came off of a b61 I think Or a 73?... I thought that the bolting pattern was the same on the two, at least they looked like it. I know that mine are steel and was wanting to put the Aluminum ones on Polished ya know!!. might just be a pipe dream but if it could be done they would look great with a chrome radiator crown.

Rob

Up here in Alaska ther just a Part of life these block heaters, So Plug it in and listen real close you should begin to hear a Slight Hissing sound that will tell you if in fact the block heater is working, Really scientific huh,?! well other than feeling for heat at -30below zero and thats not gonna happen for a while here, till it actually warms things up. thats how we tell if there working.

good luck.

Rob

I am sorry for getting into this i had no intent to confuse. glenn

Thank you all so much for the replies.. Im sorry for not getting back on here sooner But was on vacation when I started this thred.

Glenn your not confusing.

I was either going to look in to changing the axle or do as Hk said figure Out what Other box would adapt to this truck and go that route, My truck has the Air o matic now but Not what I want for steering..

Thanks again guys!

Rob
