  1. also paul 80,000 max gross long box or doubles,,,106,000 with triples or rocky mountain set,,,which is long box and a pup behind
  2. I don’t know Larry it had bud wheels and I don’t remember what size they were. It was too many years ago.
  3. Around here we’re only allowed 12 five on the stairs and 34,000 on tandems 20,000 on a single axle and except on spread axles they are allowed 20 each
  4. A lot of times I had 26 to 28 at the front box since I had a twin drive
  5. Out here, I think the heat does more damage to anything in the summertime
  6. You know Larry for some reason when the sun‘s not shining I don’t feel like leaving the house and no I am running out of excuses way back when I was working on a truck tire shop at 17 years old a guy used to come in there and he told me that one time One way you were sitting in a lousy day just like I just said it when the sun‘s not shining young fella I don’t feel like doing anything one thing about retirement. I can always work on it tomorrow. But thanks for your foot in my ass I appreciate that. If nothing else, a huge guilty conscience you hear me ha ha
  7. but to answer your weight questions..paul,,with that outfit was usually 38,000 average LTL loads between both boxes
  8. i think you guys are doing a whole lot of worrying for nothing,,,but lets see,,,,bob

  10. well it was mainly blowing south when i was heading up..but double trailers or triples ,,with any kind of wind even with the 460 i had when i retired ,,,,3 boxes with headwind,,,no help at all....and a slight incline will pull you down to nothing,,,but i only had doubles with the U model.bob
  11. But I think the AC condenser was right in front of the radiator right behind that grill
  12. You know, I don’t remember it was too long ago. I just wasn’t happy with the performance. Even a strong head wind would hold you back It was almost like running a 237 except it did pull the hills. Much better than that one but I did get out of an E6 350 when I traded it for that one the E6 did a way better job

  18. Oh my it just never ends. They should’ve got them from the same supplier as Amazon. Bob
  19. Oh man, that’s messed up. I’m starting to think that’s going to happen here. I waited too long to get started on this thing. I’ll never finish it.
  20. I believe 1156 is what I used to put in them they came with a 97 but they were very dim also if your going to put a blue light in it will look good but you won’t be able to see anything with it good luck bob
  21. I don’t know, but I can’t remember. I used to know all the sizes by heart. I know they sell those lamps brand new. Till this day, I was just looking at them advertise somewhere.
  22. Me Either but it looks like a stock light that they used in the R model cab for years
  23. They are usually very dim from the factory most of us wound up, putting a tail light bulb in there. There are a lot brighter. Can’t remember any of the numbers.
