I think finding a left side exhaust bracket is gonna be worse than finding a neddle in a hay stack. I'm sure dual exhaust was available from the factory but I have never seen factory duals on a 4070B. We had 3 IHC 4000's, 8 4070's & 5 4070B's. All of the 4000's & 4070's were factory dual exhaust with 8V71's & 3 of the 4070B's had 8V71's but were single exhaust as were the two Cummins powered 4070B's we had. Perhaps your best bet would be finding a donor 4070 but even then finding salvagable parts might be difficult. You might find yourself fabricating the parts.

That right tank is probably split for the wet kit.

1st time I've ever seen an IHC 97/9800 roof grafted onto a Mack...

A few things about the "after".

-It's still a truck.

-Iit's still working.

-Iit's been "re-purposed" which is typical of trucks

-It is still being enjoyed by the owner as well as others.

You probably would like it a lot less if it had been cut for scrap.

Currently being built in St Joe, IN mostly for ambulance & small apparaturs useage but they are trying to market to the racing & equestrian markets and others as well.

Check with Mike Harbison (Superdog). He might have some good R/F/DM/U Model doors.

I cannot find a program to open the video.

Larry,

If you have the 4250.00 I have a place to put it!

Yes I think gross would be fine, but 9000 steer axle sitting on the very back edge off the trailers going to wreak havoc with handling. And when they tow backward the air fights to get around the cab causing it to push side to side. It will be a handful.

Actually I think they are carrying more than just 9K behind the trailer axles when you take into consideration the slope of the trailer & the afore mentioned air pushing on the back side of that tractor.

I once loaded my Kawasaki Mule & Pop-up camper on a tandem axle open car trailer. I thought I had the camper axle close enough to the trailer axles but I didn't. I made it to the 60mph speed zone & was real close to being upside down in the median of US 30 only 6 miles from where we started. I reloaded by backing the camper onto the trailer then running the Mule up some ramps we had with us over the tongue of the camper moving 95% of the weight over the axles and onto the tongue. A much nicer ride for the other 494 miles. The below picture was after the reload.

My thought is they never made the scale house, about the time they hit 40 I would think that trailer would start whipping back and forth & they'd be lucky if they only ended up jack-knifed in the ditch...

Is that an 11.1 or 12.7 S60? The 12.7's that I have driven would pull stumps and still get good mileage.

For several years there were 2 or 3 White COE's with the cut frame and 15" wheels sitting on a property that was a closed lumber yard that was some how associated with FT Wayne Vehicle Auction. I never took pic's of them and I don't know what happened to them. They had some of the trailers too.

Truck is 46 years old, I'm sure it has been repainted at least once. Or could have been a special ordered interior. A lot of interesting things going on in that truck. Placement of the tach is unusual. What appears to be 4 push in (Pete) style breakers & two push/pull knobs & a later model gauge in the glovebox door. Electric brake controller. I'm gonna 2nd that the odd gauge to the left of the wheel is for the lift axle. Is a B57 a short hood like a B67? It appears to be shorter and with the doghouse in the cab....

There was a former Haliburton R700, same set up as this with a water tank on it near Garrett, IN for a long time, I stopped & inquired about it, "Not For Sale" I was told. 3 months later I seen it being loaded up and hauled away. A year later that construction company was closed and all assets sold off.

This one might be availible however the 8V92 appears to have been hydrolocked at some point, it can be aired up and pull started & will run but not well.

I think the owner was posting progress pic's of that on the ATHS site when he began the project. I had forgotten about that project until now. The father of a friend of mine back in our high school days had an Astro with a droolin' dozen in it.

Might have to have Facebook to see the link...

At Idle that KT wants to bounce the front wheel off the ground...

So how many Superliner's do you have now Mike?

where was the box company out of Terry? my cousin has a white R that looks about identical to one of the ones in the last pic. his is an 88 with a 300 and 5 speed and is about mint. came from a cardboard and box company out of New Hampshire.

The company at the time was called Wabash Fibre Box and was located in Ft Wayne, IN. When we won the lease we bought out the other leasing companies 671/10 speed powered Fleetstars and provided them with 300/5speed R Models. I believe we renewed twice with them which means 3 sets of trucks. This was the 1st group and the 3 group was some of the last R's that Parrish Leasing ordered before they went to CH612's.
