should have a wedge both sides no matter what actually to keep things straight. usually a second wedge is added for camber adjustment

you take take the head and intake and exhaust all off at once and set it on the floor. then clean and put new gaskets on the deck. id use new studs if they are available. adjusting the valves isnt that hard either and it will probably run better after. my END707 skipped when we got it but was a recent rebuild. then the back head gasket started leaking, pulled the heads one by one, replaced the gasket and found a push rod was bent. readjusted the valves and it ran 100% better than before. mine has the maxidyne thin head gaskets on it with the fire rings tho, not the old style copper gaskets like most of the 673's and older 711's.

that B70 with the extended shell was at the Syracuse National show in 2003 the Eidemiler trucks are pristine and i kinda like the dark bluemetallic on that one b model.

nope, they are rarearound these parts. just wanted to see H67Macks, C607

omg, what an mutt. anyone notice it had an International set of shutters, front axle, bumper and rear end??? and a GMC engine? wtf happened to that poor thing. more like a 56 than a 66 to.

agreed, some pics of the C607. im a C model fan. might acquire one someday..

ok so heres a question. what should the color and number be on the 300+? mine looks to have been rebuilt one time with a 237 block? cause the number on the timing cover says ENDTB675 but the metal stamped tag on the side behind the pump says ETAZ673T ?. never paid much attention as ive only been around 673's and 237's so i dont know what the block stamping number should be on the front. didnt know if they are all stamped as 675 blocks? the bell housin and block look to have been gold at one time and painted over with black and i know the engine was a fresh rebuilt before they scrapped the truck. usually rebuilders paint everything black or machinery gray.

think that red R model is one of Tackaberry's truck Vinny. think he had it out to Springfield and Macungie. i remember the stretched out camelbacks. i thought to moonfire truck probably had a endt673B or C in it. on another note, anyone know what happened to the Moonfire Mack? think it might have needed the quadbox in it after filming was done or at least take the plug out of the passenger side of the case and clean the teeth out of the rockbox. the FL700 in the movie also had a quadbox in it and had a 6 cylinder Mack with chrome valve covers

ok so what engine was in the Moonfire Mack? they say it was a RL712LST? had chrome valve covers and the chrome hubs and circus painted rims. definately had a quadbox in it and Charles Napier pounded the shit out of it. unless that was just dubbed in for the movie.

hate to break vinnys heart but the U model i think is actually a shortened DM. you can tell by the stout front bumper and the DM style fuel tank. i guess it could have been a heavy spec U model tho. never know

the 300+ wasnt a maxidyne? got me all confused now. all the ones i have seen were gold to.. . i have always liked the looks of these trucks myself

boy is that a tough ass lookin RD with a hood scoop and the angled bumper. always liked the angled bumpers on the RD's and the Superdogs, just made them look tougher.

wow, really slow. gonna have to get in the 4's to get some speed. even back in the day with a 10 speed direct the most common gear with 22'' rubber i think was 4.62

the RS612LST52368 i got my 300+ and 10 speed RR out of had the 2 stage air cleaner. i believe the truck was a 1980 and a western. had the ridge down the center of the hood like some of the late R700's had. somone hacked it off and made it a single axle with a pete rear end. the guy drove the whole truck to the junkyyard and got a whole $1800 for it.the cab was shot. we bought the engine and tranny out of it for a grand. come to find out it was a fresh rebuilt 300+. we put it in a 66 R600. had to make mounts for the transmission and use to old R600 radiator as the one out of the R612 was the long western radiator and had different mounts and spring hangers. i would like to put a single outlet air cleaner on it and a hood scoop as the big 2 stage air cleaner just doesnt look right on the cab to me. i like the looks of the old school small oil bath 1966 air cleaner but i assume the 300+ would suck the oil right out of the air cleaner pan so im up in the air about the hood scoop/air cleaner decision.

poor truck, would look better with the 300+ back under the hood and the hood back on.

forgot to mention this truck is a 1974

found it. but not a pic of the driverside with the stack concrete unloader. i assume it was used for that, thats what Mr Fetterly said

was a white R model with a blue frame and an exhaust unloader on the stack i assume for offloadin concrete? at Macungie last year. cant find a pic of it now tho. wish i had an underhood pic as i wanna put a hood scoop on the R model im buildin with a 300+. i have the scoop and ductwork, just dunno where to bolt it as my truck is a 66 and the truck it came off of i assume was a 78 or so , so the radiator was bigger. mine has the smaller b model sized radiator so id like a pic so i ana make a mount for the under hood filter and ductwork.

neighbor of ours had two 70's R600's one had a 237 and 10 speed and the other had the hood scoop, a 300+ with hood scoop and a 10 speed and air starter. i remember that truck growin up. they both got beat to shit and never taken care of. eventually the one with the 300+ got sold when they went out of business and the engine got put in a DM with the cheap dual inlet air cleaner and not the badass hood scoop.

anyone have an underhood picture of the ductwork for the hood scoop? lookin to see where it bolts to. im assuming on the radiator? i have seen the hood scoops twards the front and twards the back of the hood.

i dunno, just looks like they painted the frame with straight enamel and it faded out. 2-3 years is about the limit for pigment in straight enamel

i have a black wheel thats nearly perfect and was thinking about painting. im buildin a 66 R600 and bolted the swing down clutch pedal along with the telescoping steering column and a cable clutch in. suprisingly everything from a 1980 western cab RL600 bolted right up under the dash.

i dont know,i know a few 237 and 18 speed quadboxes driving around and they seem to work fine as long as your not hot rodding it. if you beat it enough the 237 with smoke the clutch. if you found a double disk clutch 18 speed quadbox i think youd be happy. the 237 doesnt have the bigger torque like a 300 plus or 350. the quads and triplexes wont hold up behind those. you will end up splittin 5th gear and most likely busting the case with a little bit of lugging. i know they made TRQ77 series quadboxes that were 20 speed direct and i know i have seen a TRQ72 series that was direct in 5th before.

yea he did tuck down behind that engine rather quickly. i know my fat ass could never do that without knockin it out of gear. anyone have one of those beautiful white steering wheels they wanna part with????????????????

how about the red R model chasing the cop and you see it in the back window but when they go for an outside shot its the old red and white kenworth or peterworth chasin him???
