    Steering gear and springs are saying about 12,500 to me

    I'm thinking some engineering compromises were made that leaned towards "show truck" that make it somewhat unusable for work. I'll bet that front axle is overweight before it's even hooked to a trailer.

    What steering axle do you think that is?

    I didn't know they made that much more power than a regular single ignition EN707

    When you buy a vehicle with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, you have to pay the FET in order too title it. If it was built as a trailer queen, that would explain why it was never titled

    Yeah they all got like that from hauling coils mostly. We used to flip them over and heat the lower flange of the beam with a rosebud. Put the arch right back in them. I always used a #20. The faster you get it hot, the better it works. When you heat a spot quickly it tries to expand, but the cold metal around it won't let it. So it distorts into a slightly thicker section. When it cools it contracts the only way it can by creating tension in the lower flange of the beam. Do it in enough spots and it pulls a positive camber right back in

    That has to be going back a few years. The only thing I can think of using a radial in recent years is agricultural aircraft. I knew a guy that did banner towing with a Stearman 75 but that had to be from the 40's

    Here is my Ford and my TrailKing in front of their Bensalem terminal after they moved out. I rented there for like 5 or 6 years. Place looked a lot better when they were in operation. New owner fixed it up a lot now

    Yeah his grandfather started the business in the 30's. They had a terminal across the street from my uncle's garage. They always ran nice equipment, by the mid 70's they were all R Model Mack

    Original owner went to school with me, and he is looking for it to see if he can buy it back. Their terminal was in Bensalem Pa, but they had some in Jersey too

    I never understand why people do stuff like this. It's like they put extra effort into making their rigging weaker. This is how people get killed

    Picture from facebook. V8 with a 29,000 lbs single axle. How it was done back in the day in a steel town
  14. Joseph Cummings
    Damn, are those 55,000 rears?? To put a set of CRD 92-93s in those you had to change the side gears so the axle would fit. Normally those would have CRD 112-113 in them

    Older style PT pump with the round cover. No built in AFC

    That long power divider was used until about the mid 60's. As far as I remember it was a cam and buttons setup like the later ones with the shorter power divider
  17. Joseph Cummings
    Forgot all about the double Huskies lol. But I remember that clearly now. I guess drove that truck like 40 years ago
  18. Joseph Cummings
    Thought maybe he was "Black Irish" That is what my mom always said my dad was lol
  19. Joseph Cummings
    Everybody looks Irish' The 55,000 rears look so unusual under a Cruiseliner. In the US they were all pretty much 12 front and 38 rears

    I drove one years ago. Had a 5 speed main and a wide ratio 2 speed rear. The ratio spacing was like a full gear, so you didn't split it. It was more or less just a low hole. I think Brockway called them CT270 or Huskidrive
  21. Joseph Cummings
    @Brocky What did Brockway call that? Was it the Huskydrive? Had a powerband like a Maxidyne
  22. Joseph Cummings
    Yeah I had some in some 70's era IHC. Could even be a PT 270
  23. Joseph Cummings
    If that aux trans has an overdrive of about 0.66 to 1 that would get you to 70 something on 11r24.5s
  24. Joseph Cummings
    I was thinking 290, the 335 should have an aftercooler
  25. Joseph Cummings
    The crd 92 and 93 are later production than the axle housings. Notice the missing bolt? There is no hole under it. They fit, but you had to skip a couple holes. I did it on a few, and never had a problem
