weather is not lookin too promising last time i looked and we planned on going

interesting. B422 would have a size 3 bellhousing originally and a baby quad or duplex 77 series. someone would have to change motor mounts and all to put a 464 in there. never amazes me how much wrenching went on with these old trucks

sure its a 464? b422 should have a 438

usually those dimples were drilled out and a tin flap added and they were for a DM model but you know Mack, they were universal

its only 12 volt,one hot 12 volt will turn it fine. as for filter and wires, id see if it runs first then screw with the rest. 

love those B61SX's with the heavy front axles. 

those are generic brackets still. Mack didn't start putting brackets standard on B model doors til around 1961 when they went with the Delbar bracket. the older ones like those didn't have the ''tree hoop'' either so if you swiped a branch you ended up breaking the glass instead of the hoop protecting it and swinging out of the way.

those must be the old 50's style with the long flat plate on the bottom. the newer ones are the Delbar style that Watts sells

you gotta run at least some heat resistant stuff back 4-5 feet. the compressed air is HOT and it will melt the regular black nylon air line. i think i did run 5/8 copper off the compressor of my B then went to a flex stainless on the transmission then nylon from there. i tried finding 3/4 copper like the original and came ip empty then just went with 5/8 and changed the block on the side of the compressor

take the air cleaner off!! cant stress enough how much mice like those. make sure there is not a nest in the top haif that sucks right into the intake and run it off a can of fuel not those old tans.  prime it up and pop start it, maybe after an oil change

i hope they have towing companies on speed dial. those Sprinter vans are probably one of the biggest pieces of sh*t ever made. trust me i have towed enough of them. Ambulances and Fed Ex's included. what junk

SX signifies sever duty. we had many B42sx's in the 60s that were rated up to 56000gross . sx doesn't mean 55,000 rears

if both Thermodyne emblems are on the front of the hood it also means it that at least the hood started out on a gas job overhead valve truck. Diesels always read Thermodyne Diesel on both sides not Diesel Thermodyne on the passenger side...

interesting the B42 in the first pic and it looks like the Ford dump under the plant have tarps over the hoods.

or without 200 holes drilled in the dash. steering wheel isn't even cracked

i like the R. pretty clean. id love to own it

he did have some kinda steel or machine shop originally then got into the bike thing. the drama bs and the shit they do, destroy and wreck just pisses me off and he is a total shitbag in my eyes. i have worked for bosses that were really like him and wanted to knock their teeth down their throat. 

did Harry pass? his Roadway H model is in Keystone truck and tractor, i just stopped there this past weekend. he also had a pristine restored  green single axle B that i have never seen since it was shown at Macungie 1 or 2 times

i wouldn't spec disk brakes on any new truck especially an off road one. we have a bunch of fuel delivery trucks comin in our area new, mostly KW's with disk. they sand and mud and crap eats the pads right up cause of the piss poor design with the caliper on top and the shit lays in it. we just did a one axle brake job on a 2017 KW propane truck with 39,000 miles on it, cost the company over 5 grand!. the pads were good during one service and 4000 miles later they were ate up and enough to get the calipers hot. calipers were Bendix and $1800 a piece our cost..... add that to the problem where you cant just visually inspect the pads without pulling the tires and most of them come with 20/20 or 20/18brake cans on them and guess what, you call the dealer and they don't have one, no one does, they were 2 days out....

he is a shitbad. we live about an hour and half away and have family in Montgomery. the stories we have heard! Mikey basically a drug addict, Paul Sr going in every bar around thinkin he is a tough ass and getting his ass kicked and kicked out the door, basically Paul Js is the only sane one

god it was a sad day when that overpaid shitbag made it back on TV. rumor has it OCC begged Discovery to put them back on the air.

gotta be careful with the explanation Larry a lot of the new Werner , Jbhunt and Walmart and UPS express trucks are comin thru with junk disk brakes and the cans are perpendicular to the backin plated to. they are nice for stopping power but about useless in a rusty climate and dirty back road climate. 

love how them aussies always seem to have wider rims on the front even with daytons. not  425 floaters but more than a 11 22.5

i liked these when i first saw them about 4 months ago. really like the orange one they did but the real problem is I'm pretty sure all Super 10's were 2wd and 4wd's wouldn't be a Cheyenne. having just sold a pristine 77 Cheyenne Super 10 and a diehard chevy guy I'm kinda let down. and those wagon wheels they sound like they searched and searched for, are nothing more than stock work truck chevy wheels they make today painted white
