    I've got to save this link. I've had to make lines before and had to scrounge through junk piles to find stuff

    Hopefully it isn't bad stuck, or stuck at all. I rebuilt one like 25 years ago and parts were hard to find and kinda pricey. I think if I was going to tear it down I'd only go as far as rings, bearings, and grind the valves. Hell that was all we did to them when they were in working trucks and they held up until the cabs rotted off the trucks from the damn salt

    I think one of the old timers told me it's a 450 RD before I dug it out of the weeds. I had a 501 and it had a 4 BBL carb on it. To tell you the truth I haven't even checked to see if it's stuck. Everybody told me it ran. It belonged to a shop right across the street from me. They were losing the property over long term health care bills, and they gave it to me for helping them load out all the stuff they wanted with my backhoe and moving their storage trailers

    Cool, I like that truck. Love the oilfield body, specs too. I've got one I think it's a 530. Red Diamond powered

    A whole lot of it goes to EAF (electric arc furnace) steelmaking. They blow it in to produce carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide helps the slag to float to the top of the heat There are 3 large deposits of anthracite in the world. Donots Basin in The Ukraine, North Korea, and NE Pennsylvania. NEPA is currently the only reliable supply.

    I'm starting to suspect it does. 1700 amd 60 MPH on 10.00x20 tires is just not working out with a direct in high gear trans even with a 3,87 ratio
  11. Joseph Cummings
    That might even be a set of 3.87 ratios. Is it on 11r24,5 tires?

    Yeah it's the Governor. Factory setting for truck engines was 2250RPM. Fire apparatus might have been higher. I had one in a late 40's LF wrecker, and I turned it up a bit. I got clocked doing a bit over 80 on I 95 towing an R model tandem tractor backwards one night. I got the speed up on the downhill heading to the Scudder Falls bridge, and it held it all the way to Woodhaven Rd where I got stopped. Oh how I miss the 1980's

    That is this Barletta family. We have a lot of them here in Hazleton "Louis John Barletta is an American businessman and politician who served as the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 11th congressional district from 2011 to 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he served as mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, from 2000 to 2010."

    Yeah Skippy was like the Australian Lassie. The dad was a park ranger, and they had a Bell 47 helicopter. I don't think it was on one of the major networks here in the US, it must have been on one of the UHF channels

    8.24 ratio isn't going to run too fast if it has one of the two transmissions I mentioned. They are both direct 1 to 1 in high. would make for about a 35 MPH top speed. The drop in from a set of 34,000 or 38,000 will fit right in if you want to change axle ratios. You just have to check that your axle splines are the same some were different. You have the steel case drop in carriers. The torque rod mounts in with a tapered stud. You can use the aluminum cases also but the torque rod bolts on with two bolts, You will have to modify or change them. This picture is an aluminum case. You can see the torque rod mounting is different from yours

    I'm telling you I learned all about Australians from watching Skippy the Bush Kangaroo in the 1960's They drive weird Ford station wagons, have pet kangaroos, and go around singing "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" and "Waltzing Matilda"

    They like those scoups too. And their visors are kinda rounded. Probably has something to do with living your life upside-down and driving on the wrong side of the road 🙃

    Should be a ENDT675 engine (237) Either a TRL107 (5 speed) or TRXL107 (6 speed) transmission And my best guess would be 38,000 pound rears on Camelback suspension. But I would need pictures to say for sure. 34,000 , 38,000 . and 44,000 shared lots of parts. In 79 44,000 would have cones on the axle ends. This picture is of the cones. It's a Mack 44,000 of about that vintage

    During construction they were digging up drums of unknown waste products. I seem to remember they relocated a building because they were hitting so many https://library2.buffalo.edu/archives/lovecanal/about/background-information.html

    I love how they are considered toxic wastelands until the right guy owns the property. And then it's fine to build houses and an elementary school on

    I've got two EFM boilers here one an older round door, and one a dual fuel. Only really running one now. I haven't bought any this year. I've got to take a ride over to the breaker and see how much it is. Probably something crazy
