  1. I found if you post pics from your cell phone they take up too much of what you can down load to this site I screen shot the to make them less mb
  2. if you need rear I have one that was out of my truck don't know where your from but it's just laying around
  3. is yours a single axle or tandum mine was a single axle with a regular rear there is a flat spot on the carrier that will have your gear ratio stamped it in mine had 6.17 gears they never swapped it out when they but the 673 in it I ended up putting a double reduction 4.61 I think out of a diesel but have since removed it to air ride it
  4. I like the bumper its diffent than a flat one truck looks to be in good shape I also have a b42 was the rear in yours changed to a diesel rear or are they still running a gas rear the ratios are way diffrent in them
  5. I have the small gas job air cleaner still I was using it but after I put the turbo on I haven't made a pipe to hook it back up I would like to get one with the tall top but all I have found was junk ones for big money
  6. I have never seen one in person lots of pics I would really like to check one out and see how it's built
  7. Isn't it funny you restored that entire truck and the hardest and most frustrating part its the trip to the dmv lol you should know by now goverment employees will make up there own rules for things . The truck looks great getting it road legal is such a great milestone !!
  8. I ran 50 psi in my b model as a single axle the tires were so hard and dry rotted it made no diffrence and short wheel base makes it worse I made mine longer and added tandum air ride wayyyyy better
  9. The rear out of my B42 originally is gone I put a diesel rear with better gears as I couldn't go over 45 in it but if you can use it you can have it
  10. I don't know why everyone can't get behind creepy Joe on these electric trucks the range is amazing......if it's on a flat bed ......or tow truck.....
  11. your right I rember it was nothing to grab some cash and go buy something cool there were deals everywhere obama ruined that every pile of crap was then worth 5000 I rember buying a 87 blazer silverado no rust just some dents lifted from a car lot for 700 bucks ten grand today its sad
  12. found some pics of the 77 with the small and big tires
  13. thats a nice 2 dr wagon really do not see those anywhere and ya we are all off the original post but it don't matter lol just put the truck in the shed for the winter so not much will be happening I made the mounts so once I get it going again I'll post some more pics of it
  14. I was always had a truck since I was younger my favorite was a 1977 chevy I bought painted it up I had 11 inches of lift on it 44 in super swampers and ended up swapping in a 6at3.4 cummins in it I was always into diesels I miss that truck sold it to a guy in winchester virginia
  15. I found a yard that had them but they were a bit to high for me 1000 bucks and they looked a bit rough
  16. the cut off I used in the rear I think was international there was nothing left of the truck so I don't know and neither did the guy I got it from but that frame slid right over my frame I just squared it and drilled holes through both and bolted it together
  17. there is a nother member here I would have to look up the old post the used the fld axle he said the center pins were off by half an inch each so he made spacers under the springs that were offset and the tires were at the fenders the wheel part looks like it would be past but I don't think it would be off that bad
  18. I want to run hub pilot on the steer on mine I allready did an air ride swap I have heard an fld freightliner axle will almost go right in that way I'll have all modern parts in the front as my break cans are bad and the tie rod is sloppy I just need to find somone to part with one on he cheap lol I have my old dayton rear axle and can't give it away wish I could trade or find someone who could use it
  19. wow that frame looks amazing awsome work if I may ask what are you using on the front ? budd ? hub pilot just wondering
  20. the front does sit higher that some I have seen the left spring is stock the right sat really low had broken plies I fixed it this summer glad I did cause LOTS of plies were broken not just the ones I saw I just used springs fr the rear that I just pulled out they worked perfect and eventually I do the drivers side too
  21. I don't know what hub caps fit them Bob there were none on it when I got it but there miss matched pass side has a mack hub and drivers side looks like on old Lee hub if I can find a replacement axle I will not need these any more I'm searching for a fld freight liner axle to swap the whole thing out as his is a light axle being a b42
