You should have seen the dry rot on my B model tires they were capped on 1990 and the truck was never used it still had bandag on the tread when I bought it the cracks were so bad you could stick a screwdriver in the side wall cracks and it would stick straight out lol

You could try restoration specialities in winber pa they handle lots of rubber products 

The ct engines were all international engines cat put there name on them we had 2 cat trucks at the shop they were gliders and we put c15s in them 

Thanks tommy don’t worry still have some in the freezer lol

Thanks Larry I did 

They seemed reliable I only one  failing but it was expensive

I watched some show on tv and it was Australian they had cat road tractors the looked like international eagles with cat badging on them 

Yep I worked on the cat trucks when they came out just a navastar that had cat all over it the only thing cat was the auto trans they said it was a dozer transmission that had some modifications to it. We had one of the 4x4 cat trucks too I think they only built 2 nothing but problems when it came out the 4x4 didn’t work they too it to a show and a sales man put in the 4x4 and it went into low range and stayed there it needed air to go in and out of low range no line was conected and the switches were all wrong we call in and told them what we needed and they said an engineer had to decide that we made our own repair so the customer could use it

Thanks vlad !

Thank you paul I did took the day off went and had lunch with my wife and the little one rode around and did some things then when the older boys were home from school we had wings from my favorite restaurant and a Dairy Queen cake  all vanilla of course 

I like the copper bushing idea never tried that I sometimes use carbide drill bits they will drill through anything but you have to be careful as if they grab they can break the carbide out the end of the drill

Thank you Brian !

Thanks Bob !

I never compared frame thickness between a gas or a diesel I know mine was a long chassis truck was built a a livestock truck and it had a plate that ran from behind the front spring mounts to the front of the rear spring mounts I ended up removing it because of rust jacking it was only on the sides and bottom not on the top 

My b 42 was converted to diesel and if I remover right someone had notched come vrossmember out in the front for the damper and my fan was so close to the rad you couldn’t change the belts 

Ok thank you I put a hub pilot air ride cut off in the rear of mine and it’s been tough finding something for the front some guys here used a fld freightliner axle I just try to keep my eyes often for anything 

D day I see the yellow frame has budd wheels can’t tell if it has brakes or not I’m looking for a complete axle for my b42 wondering if you have anthing

Sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. The older generations seem like they did so much like all the things you said your grandfather did . Now a days it seems like we don’t do much except keep safe from the Covid and inflation our kids aren’t going to get any good stories …..

I guess firing 5 Black cops in the Memphis P.D. wasnt good enough for Biden's clan..  I guess in order to keep pace with Obama's influence, they had to keep firing people til they got to a white guy, or two...  Well, at least now when they call it 'Racism',,  It will LQQK better..  Way to go!!!  Exploit another persons death for political gains...  Jojo

Now we can let the peaceful rioting ,looting of businesses, destruction of public property to show that we will not tolerate this racially motivated police killing ……
