  1. I don't think I've seen one of those in a truck, seen plenty in switching locomotives like 44 ton. Then again I might have only glanced and assumed it was a 220. So it's a tractor?
  2. It's gotten so bad I can't stand any celebrity, athlete, news anchor, and even most musicians. If I watch a movie it's got to be old, same with TV shows. Even some of the old movies have somebody that turned into a turd starring in them like DeNiro in Once Upon a Time in America, I can't even watch it.
  3. And that's why you don't get invited to any Dance Parties With Beyonce,,, Mr Hillbilly
  4. I remember when a 2 stroke detroit was a common sound, Now I very rarely hear them
  5. I like it. L assume it was originally gas power? Is that a wrecker on the back of it?
  6. Hook a fuel pressure gauge to it right at the injection pump. Rig the gauge up someplace you can see it while you drive. and see what your fuel pressure is under load. All you need is a gauge, a long piece of hose (even synflex) a tee and some fittings. The big thing is you need to drive the truck and pull a hill or something or the readings don't mean shit.
  7. Got to be all paint. If she slept in your bed, the pillowcase would look like The Shroud of Turin when she got up
  8. Now this is a well educated brilliant guy. I know he earns his 7 figure salary
  9. No, you just don't understand it because you are uneducated
  10. If I go to a show I want to look at stuff like this, not listen to some idiot blast his stereo
  11. I wonder if there was ever a Mack built with one of these. I'd heard of them in trucks before, but I thought it was something some farmer or contractor did. I never knew AC produced them as a highway truck option. 450 horsepower in 1070ish was crazy big
  12. WTF?
  13. Those chrome shop types remind me of Duke's Caddy
  14. These kind of trucks make me throw up in my mouth a bit t
  15. Joe Wesley's (Amquip Crane) 12v71 Brockway moved some serious loads back in the day
  16. I don't think I know him. Did he work for Racho or something?
  17. Turn it upside down and let it sit for a week 🙃
  18. Yeah, the stacks were a dead giveaway. Amazing how we hauled loads without 8" stacks 13 feet in the air back in the day
  19. Crane Carrier Corp with a Sheller-Globe Cab I thought I had more pictures, I'll have to post them when I find them. BTW Sheller-Globe also built the later Brockway "Mack Cab"
  20. 24.5 will go on a 24" multi piece rim. The 24.5 has a tapered bead and the narrow part on the taper is real close to 24". Of course a tube is required. WARNING, DO NOT DO THIS, IT'S A BOMB AND THE MORTICIAN WILL HAVE TO PUT YOUR HEAD BACK ON WITH SCREWS AND GLUE. That being said I saw it done and told the guy to get the damn thing out of my shop. Back in the 1970's we used to see 16.5 tires on 16 inch rims now and again. There was common misinfo out there that a 16.5 was just a tubeless 16. It happened enough that we got a safety bulletin about it from somebody. The taper on the bead of the XX.5 tires doesn't lock the ring in like it should, and being the tire is only tight on the rim in a narrow area, as you go down the road there is motion between locking parts. This mismatch makes the Kelsey Hayes 2 piece wheel look safe
