Here is a Hino mechanical diesel 13.3L on a Generac 500KW genset. Just doing direct conversion and not accounting for losses that is 670.5HP Realistically it's got to be at least 750HP

Strong Diamond-T vibe

What do you think about the mirrors? Looks like you can watch them without turning your head

Mitsubishi trucks were always an engineering quality disaster.

Their tuna has really slipped in quality over the years too.

The existence of Hino was all about face, about Toyota having a heavy truck unit. Yes, Hino was the premium Japanese truck brand, and Isuzu the best bang for the buck. When UD was Nissan Diesel, they built a solid truck. Though they've always built good aircraft, Mitsubishi trucks were always an engineering quality disaster.

I worked on Hino Diesel powered generator sets. I forget what size but they were 6 cylinder about the size of an ENDT675 Mack. If I remember right they were about 150KW 1800RPM units. What I do remember was the high quality

Steve Avella had a B that kinda reminds me of that truck. Anyone know where it ended up? Has anyone heard from Steve?

6-71 2 valve in this Hendrickson

How much did it consume?

I had a DM600 roll off truck that burned, leaked. and had blowby. I had to  carry a 5 gallon bucket of oil in the cab on the passenger side. It finally gave up one day about 5 miles from home. It had been using oil like that for about 6 months. I put a Mack Pedigree in it. They were only about 7500 at the time

It's defiantly not rioting. 

I'm just about an hour north of Macungie and the rain here seems like it hasn't let up for months. The outlet of my drain tile that is under my upper yard is flowing like crazy, and I had to put a pump in the shop because the floor kept flooding. I've been here 10 years, and I've never had a water problem like this

I worked quite a few in the refineries back in the day, but somehow the way she presents it makes it look like more fun than I remember them being

TransAxle was acquired by Dallas-based private equity firm Crossplane Capital in 2020.

I remember when they were fairly new back in the early 80's. There was an Italian guy (born in Italy) that ran the rebuilding shop, he was really smart. That being said, I never much cared for the sales guys and management. I did buy a lot of stuff from them though, they had a lot of stock, and Cinnaminson was only like 20 minutes away from me

Just go see Mustafa the brake drum maker. Take him the old one and he'll hook you right up.

I think that floorboard section was the same for all R Models, even the 66 to 68 with the clutch pedal went down through the floor.

You have side income?

BTW, there are electronic conversions for that Delco distributor. This one is for negative ground 12 volt

I think ,018. 

Delco changed the points to a newer style in 63 or 64. The older ones (DR1HV) sat on a pin sticking up out of the breaker plate. The later ones (DR6HV) the pin was part of the points and stuck down into a hole in the breaker plate.

BTW, I believe the condenser is a D-203

Take a picture of the distributor and the points and post it. I kinda think they were Delco Remy distributors.

They are 1950's era six cylinder Chevy points. DR1HV if they look like this.
