  1. Yes, they do. The thing I don't like they drill through. Right up to cooling passage. So I wobble between that option and keep as is. I can get a solid head but need to go to Europe for. That's the best way though, just not fast enough.
  2. I had one of the heads off my ED519 Lanova cracked. It comes just at the side of the chamber, not to any of the valve seats. Looks like there's no way of coolant to go into the chamber by now. But I have no idea how long it could last. Making research in the net I found out that it's impossible to weld ANY cast iron by ANY way. There was an article where a man analized phisical and chemical matter of that fact. So stitching seems the only way. I don't know how it's good or bad either.
  3. Wow! Pretty cool thing. I'd like to bring it back to life using some EHU as a donor. Sorry not ready to carry such a deal. Those rears look 44000 or heavier. Are they?
  4. Look over both the hood and the cab to find out any traces of old repairs wich could change their form. If find any make your mind on how to correct it. Or swap the entire thing (sorry but might be a way). If nothing of that shows out look over cab mounting points to move it the way you need. Any mounting brackets might be deformed/modified or improperly installed either.
  5. Hmmm.. Looks like Canadian spread rears (60") with Allentown built VIN plate. Was it possible?
  6. That's one cool picture of the moon. Or just "Moon" without "the'? I thought "Moon" was the name of the planet either. Wonder how much I need to zoom it out to see any moon crawler or maybe Moonwalker?? The Mercedes Benz picture is pretty. Like Lancaster river too.
  7. The one i have in my R is 1/2-13 coarse thread. Suppose B must have smaller size.
  8. That's great Mike!
  9. Those green hubs take it apart from the most other B's. Can't figure out why but I like them.
  10. Post a picture with pointing out the size you need. Like the one below.
  11. "Stuck 220 cummins, water in the oil. Truck ran for 2 minutes, then tightened up. One owner, hasn't ran in 12 years. 10 speed trans" Tim, did you originally want to say "of story"? Cool long nose beast for sure!
  12. They said it was chromed. If that's true it needs a long time to get a surface rust after wich the base material will start oxidize.
  13. As I remember from seeing the world map Texas and Bermude triangle are not the same place. I dug out the cavit of no less size than our lost cowboy this past summer but am seen still on here.
  14. He disappeared a long while back with no traces. Some one saw the truck he was offering for sale later on the other site. Hope he's doing fine. Just surprized he didn't pay a lil bit of attention to just say Goodbye.
  15. Looks like a nice work horse. Good luck on bringing her to the new life!
  16. One of them showed out owerhere but I have no track on it. I'm afraid though it's a bit far from your location anyway.
  17. Greetings to Israel, From the pic I don't see anything that looks off Lanova. The front axle beam, hubs, fuel tank and so on is from later models. If we talk about NR 4D every Lanova Mack chassis number started from it. Regardless it was NR-7, NR-13 or NR-14. Interesting you've got NR 4D chassis number from the licence plate record.
  18. Nothing looks as nice as a fresh paintwork! Espesially if it's red. You're not that bad with the paintshop. I wait for just the sunvisor to be painted for 3 month now. And my sleeper is in the wait lane since about March. Visiting shop folks often makes things faster sometimes. Although they start to get costs for future projects from the sky in some cases either. Hope to see more Red Bright progress from you soon.
  19. Beautiful scenary but the first thought I got on my mind was "A highway to hell".
  20. I think it would look better with rear crossmember on its frame and a tandem bogie. But that's just me. Nothing of under the hood pics there either.
  21. That's not a color I'd like to paint a truck but the sky looks fantastic Wonder how correct the camera reproduced it and how beautiful it was in real.
  22. My memory check tells me that there a the double crue near the nicely polished trailer with red landing gear legs. There was also the kid walking the walk along the bumper with lots of lights.
  23. Congrats on the deal done, those "under the surface" surprizes are better kept off. As for the drive shaft I would prefere to keep as long of it's length as possible. I mean as longer the spline mesh area is as less chances to get it loose together with bouncing.
  24. Neat old picture. The front axle looks heavy. B61SX?
  25. Thank you for sharing. Just can't figure out exactly where that connection located. Right behind the battery box? Did you do those photos from under the hood?
