In '84,there was a '57 B61 from Toledo,Iowa at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree that had a 8V92T in it.It was also Tractor of the Month in Overdrive in that same time period,'83 -'84.A year or so back,the same truck was for sale on one of the Truck Trader sites,but was in Kentucky.

What's the VIN # on your '73 R685?I know of one just like it,they might be twins.

Larry,

I've got a complete s/a air ride with rear end,make you a good deal on the whole works.It's on 20" spokes.

I would think 22.5's would be simple for them,as the 5 hole wheels were available in that size.Transcon was still running them on it's Freightliners and trailers way up into the '80's.I've got a few sets of the original 5 hole 22.5's.

The engine was a ENDT673C,those were rated at 250 hp.,not to be confused with the older ENDT673 which was 205 hp.

I can tell you that all Visions don't do that,my Dad has a '01 and younger brother has a '04.Being it's a '05,that would make it a CXN,meaning it has the Volvo designed frame,the hood probably just wants the hell off for pride's sake.

If you can't find it stamped on the engine block,look at the VIN# of the truck,if it was a R795,then the engine is a ENDT865,325 hp ,if it was a R797,then it is a ENDT866,375 hp.Either way,parts are getting scarce for both.

why not post some pics of the new Rawhide,now that's a truck.

position of the starter doesn't have a thing to do with what kinda engine it is,look where Larry said unless the engine possibly came out of a cabover,then it's stamped on the backside of block.

Al,

I'm not much on the 998 V-8 history,but here's what little I do know.The E9 first came out in '79-'80 as the ENDT1000 rated at 400 hp.When Superliner and Cruiseliner production moved to PA from CA is about the time they renamed them the E9 and that's when the 440 hp version came out.Just like the 672 in. block engines,the E9's are all basically the same,just subtle differences to give the different hp ratings.A friend of mine has a late '84 RWS722 and he has it currently putting out 700hp to the ground.The 450 and 500 hp versions came out with the SuperlinerII introduction in '85.Before production was halted,the E9 was available in Australia rated a 610 hp.

Now tell us what in the world are you doing with a '05 Pete????????????

Don't get it lit up too much,the runs will show at nite too.

First thing you need to do is take a baseball bat to your cousin,preferably one wrapped in barbed wire.

My '58 B-83 radiator is the same width as most of the early B-80 series,so one out of a B-81 should work,but B-80 series parts are few and far between.Most of the were construction trucks and got the hell beat out of them.

Under the old numbering system,they started with 1001,not 1000.

Why don't you just get a Pete or Freightliner?
