Batteries are wired a little funky, positives are chained together so a negative to the frame and the starter

Okay sounds good to me. We have a few gm alternators hanging around so I'll see if we can rig one up. Thank you very much

The 6v batteries are junk and I just bought 2 new group 31 batteries for the other truck. Can the 6v starter handle 12v? I did some research and looks like I would have to change the generator, starter solenoid and voltage regulator to do this. Anybody have some insight on this?

lol excellent a true rare breed

Yeah the b61 is looking like a dud with the double frame breaking down so I can use it to repower this truck and have one solid unit. Funny thing is the 42 has a b60 badge on one side of the hood and b61 on the other

Now that my truck is running again I am in need of an air compressor. The one on it is pushing too much oil out for my liking, so if any body has one or know a good place to get them rebuilt let me know!

Okay wanted to make sure I was on target. Are gaskets still made for the intake and exhaust does anybody know? Wouldn't be an issue to cut my own for the intake and water jacket not too sure about the exhaust though appears to be semi metallic

Finally brought the 673 back to life today and noticed the valve side of the assembly isn't seeping oil on all but 1 rocker. I was thinking of dunking them in diesel but thought the pros here might have a better approach

I have a 711 turbo that sits around, if you need parts you can have it.

No joke that is exactly what I have sitting in my kitchen right now, a pair of group 31s. I had car batteries on it before but when it got cold out they wouldnt budge the starter

I fixed the switch, but if i had the money at the time it would have been a different story. I am trying to keep it original within reason.

Indeed there is. I recently bought 2 new truck batteries for it awaiting the big refire in a few weeks. Then I can start digging out the old wires and dink around with the charging system

Mine had the fullflow partial bypass which was a Napa 1233. Huge oil filter, has a mechanism that screws onto the top of the filter

I did a class to get my cdl worked in garbage for 2 years now the DOT so I pretty much got a class A to drive straight jobs.  I may have some limited opportunity using a tow plow or a rare trip with the low boy. Nobody would hire me for tractor trailer not having experience so I got my start at casella. Regardless it is still hands down best investment I have ever made.

I know the feeling, pretty much the whole front clip on mine is rotted from sitting. They notched a huge hole in the right hand headlight panel for hydraulic plumbing and a smaller one in the left for the pump/ bumper bracket.

Well looks l will be visiting Underdog, one step closer to getting the old girl back on the road!

I am looking for a set of (8) 11r22.5 drive tires for the B model. if possible Dayton rims as well. Located 10 miles south of Plattsburgh, wouldn't mind a day trip.

Wow that is looking good, can't wait to see the finished product!

In one of our classroom sessions they showed a car that was hit with a wing doing 30 and the car was demolished

Clinton county DOT has a handfull of double wing trucks otherwise all the single wings are on the right. They are starting the towplow setup, alot of truck to handle IMO. I will probably start double wing training next winter.

Here in N.Y. I had 2 options. Historical plates or commercial. I had a commercial policy and plates but put "not for hire" in the doors. Only $300 for insurance I believe that was through Erie nobody wanted to put a policy on it because of the wrecker. A good insurance agent can steer you in the right direction for what you need. 

A few goodies I found while surfing the list. My personal favorite is the white triaxle
