Road trip! Haha, thanks. I’ll see what I got in mine first. Much appreciated!

That’s awesome! We’ll see what it’s got when I get. I appreciate the offer. I’m in Massachusetts, where are you located?

I’m trying to upload some pics that I took today but I’m getting a “server error -200” when I upload. I’ll get them in here soon though

Single. I’ll have to check when I get it home next week. Paid for it today, just gotta line up a ramp truck for the weekend. Guy I know has a landall but not sure he’s got a winch. I’m gonna call a guy who’s got a ramp truck too to see if he’s available.

I’ve done that with old Fords before. What’s the gear ration for a gas job or the Thermodyne diesel?

That’s a good question, I have no idea. How would I tell?

Oh nice, that’s probably the way to go. I think the transmission will bolt right up too. From what I’ve read, the 675/237 has way more torque and can blow the transmission easy if you aren’t careful. I won’t be hauling anything with it anyway, just gonna be a cruiser. Hopefully I can get the 673 running anyway.

Glad to be here!! Cool pic, right? I should have better ones of it tomorrow.

I do like the 6bt’s, I have one in a 2001 dodge. I would probably go with a Mack 237 or 285 before I did that though. Would like to bolt a twin box back up to it.

So I’m picking up a nice B 42 in a week or so, with any luck. Body is great, but the motor (673 NA) is locked from sitting for about 4 years. The plan is to pull the injectors, put some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and let it sit for a few days/week. I’ll Jack up the rear, put the duplex in high gear and hopefully rock the wheels back and forth to get her unstuck. I’m going to try doing this rather than try pulling it on the road. That said, if I can’t find another 673 somewhat local to me for a reasonable price, I have a Cummins 350 (which is also probably locked) that I have access to. It’s basically brand new. I could tare the heads off of it and try unlocking it and see what happens. So, will a Cummins 350 fit in a B42 chassis? What are my twin stick transmission options for that motor? I’m assuming I’ll need new motor/transmission mounts to start with. Great forum here. Thanks for all the help and information.
