Best B-day wishes!

It's not so complicated in an old rig. You do it once well and it works good for a decade or more.

Is there a piece of a middle of nowhere anywhere in PA? i thought you guys are tight neighbouring to each other there.

Mike, we all keep you in mind. Hope this would help you climbing uphill at least a lil bit.

Looks in a very nice shape for a STEEL DASH F-model

Not a breed truck on my mind but looks good sometimes when painted right. And in your particular case it has a history. Here's a pic of one in Russia from a bunch purchased by some beef and pork producing facility out of Saint-Petersburg. They bought 10 or so units in 90's and later sold them off to different owners. Some one shows up for sale from time to time. They don't use to be cheap having fridge body on but affordable if I really wanted. So i had similar thoughts of that crazy kind a couple of times as you do now. Could stop myself knowing I was limited with a potential of attention to any extra project.

T2070 (and T2080,T2060,T2050) all have the overdrive of 0.60 Mack T2090 9 speed which would work the way you want has the top notch of 0.71. The same with T2100 10 speed whicj is quite similar to T2090. Knowing your drive axle ratio and doing the count you will learn how your maximum speed or an actual spped at some particular revs would drop. Going from T2070 to T2090 you will have 0.6/0.71=0.85 of your current speed. For example if you do 60mph with some revs now you will be at 60x0.85 = 51mph. Another point T2070 were in two sizes of the housing (and many other T200 series boxes too). T2090 was always in the short bow and T2070 usually (or always?) in the long. So prop shaft modifying would be required. Currently I'm close to the moment of swapping T2090 with T2070 in my R688. So catched some facts over them both. But I'm not with a done deal yet. Sure some other options such as Fuller etc could be applied but I'm not familiar with those trannies.

Quite interesting. Indeed there were EM7s so EM6-4V should be as the predecessors too. On a side note were any DMM's assembled at Oakwille?

Wow! Thank you for the lesson. The thing that messed me up was I thought 250, 275 and 300hp versions were only 2 valvers.

I noted that too. But it appeared to me he quoted from time to time recently.

Interesting color combo.

I wish it will get better soon. At least for a fishing rod for the beginning.

Amazing! I like it too much. Did you use some Italery parts for 1:24 one?

Wow! 23 Birthday girls folks!

But they all were Econodines not Maxidynes. I'm not 100% sure though there were 4V EM9 Maxidynes for example.

I do think there were no E6 4V Maxidines but EM6 2V

Mike, don't worry. More wax and it will even run at some time

Don't remember seeing any B67 with large grill. Was it a factory option or not?

Rob, on a side note - isn't the problem with oil coolers relate to E6's too? Is there any repair set or special size (and#) for the rubber rings? I might be getting to my water pump in a distant future and would like to have those parts handy.

Interesting setup with that direct driven pump. Good luck on an easy fix. Hope you'll be able to overhaul the issue and the surround fast enough and with no losses.

Larry, sounds quite funny. Today I also did some tinkering with wires in a sleeper. Did it inside the shop and it was colder there than outside. A pretty nice day today, up to 26 Celsias / 80F and sunny. But I have a sleeper so far not a truck. So didn't want it to roll out and than back in in the evening. Sure worth to mention the result of your job is cool

E6-350 gathered with 9 speed Maxitorque T2090 is a quite common combo.

Looking the above picture I'd make the top elevating and a pair of canvas at the sides would form essential walls. The only trouble you would have to crawl on your knees along the kitchen if lazy to transform the body on a short stop

My way of thoughts on the matter is different. For a long while I tinker with an idea to make a camper body of a water tank. Sure plenty of troubles to and the final result wouldn't be as comfortable as a common van box style but seems nice to keep an original tanker look of a truck.

All that doesn't sound nice. And the part with the job too. My wishes and hopes for the speedy recovery.
