GW. I guess so. But back then... Men were Men..... and WORK had to get done... today..... not so much... Sure am glad I was raised by MEN.. today.... not so much.. GW, you had to work! You didnt gain the knowledge you have without busting your a$$. Just sayin...

Everytime I see a post about a truck that was 'purpose built' I smile... wish we had the same engineers today. They built trucks for specific needs, i assume they talked with operators about how to improve the use-abilty of a truck, and may have talked to mechanics about ease of maint. and repair.. Wishful thoughts I guess. I look at todays trucks and all I see is a mess.. liken to trying to work under the hood of a fancy front wheel drive automobile... Ok... am I out to lunch ?

i never measured them. they were usually obviosly broken. there is some space for movement. youll know it when they go bad. do you see shinny metal edges or any signs of rubbing..?

Yep square mounting plate. With it being an MR, you should have plenty of room to inspect, and repair..

that was why I was lost as to why the first liners were wrong. Because the part number was on the old liners. Glad you got it resolved. any chance you have another E-6 build in the future?

Too bad they weren't checked when the trans was out. If you have the diamond shaped mount they are huck bolted in the frame and you have to remove the battery box and air tank mounts and i think the inner fender mounts as well. Its been a while for me. Of course, we dont know the year and model of your truck. I assume you have a volvo frame.

Are wires hooked to it? If so its a pressure switch to control something/ anything... what type of trailer are you pulling?

Too funny Hippy... and I thought i was a smart a$$ with the same thoughts.. 🍻

And i thought was only here in the south with the whimpy winters... Whats going on up there?

The only time i didnt go-to school back then was because the plow truck hadnt come by yet... that said, i never rode my snow machine to get to school, just to play in the snow.....

So true Brocky. Salisbury closed school early this year because of wind.. Hell... In Maine our bus driver, Ms. Witham would have all of us go to the back seats so she could try to pull the hills with us as weight for better traction. As kids we thought it was cool to do it. Some times she had to back down and try again. We would cheer her on when she pulled the hill.. ( Lawrence rd. in Gray Maine. 04039) I laugh here in Central N.C. when they say, you aint never seen snow like it is here.. anyway...

Dammit man.. can I have one please. The DM would be great, but an R would be great, and......
