  1. hey bud, welcome aboard pick your poison ha ha you’re looking at a lot of work no matter what you decide
  2. well thier all beefy trucks,,,,strait B models,are alot easier to find versus B75 or 73 L cab or an LTL good luck,,,bob
  3. If you have not moved the engine, be sure to pull out all the spark plugs and shoot a bunch of mystery oil into the cylinders before you do anything and leave it. Sit for a week or so I believe ignition parts are still available from what I hear, good luck.
  4. We all hate to see any of them sitting buried in trees like that. I’m sure there is at least a lot of parts on that thing somebody could use. but by now the floors are probably all done. Who knows
  5. My god that cab looks like it doesn’t need anything but primer and paint that’s 90% of your issues. Usually you got it whooped bud. A lot of us pretty much have to rebuild the bottom of any cab And doors wow
  6. Right on man that’s a great deal and that truck never gets tiring. Thank you so much for the photo…/ bob
  7. Also check your kingpins for grease and any play
  8. I was gonna mention the same thing you might find that it’s not very hard to steer at all. I’ve driven many big rigs, full-size manual, steering that weren’t very hard to steer at all. Mack’s whites As he says, it’s going to be a big headache to install one and you probably really don’t even need it
  9. Sure looks like a lot there to work with your shop looks huge
  10. not really necessary unless they are scored beyond turning or cracked
  11. That’s pretty much my plans get it mechanically sound do the body nose and interior….. undercarriage I will pick at slowly after that if I live long enough, I will be driving it around and enjoying it… bob
  12. Haha I can’t add anything this time
  13. Right on man have a swinging time and best wishes…. That thing looks like a ball . you could probably even make a tidy little profit small jobs for your friends…. Bob
  14. Well, according to the only parts house I I can find that sells for parts for it piston kit, connecting rod and gasket set around 200 bucks plus shipping also ordering 4 engine mounts thier all dry rotted everything 200
  15. It’s an all power it looks like somebody ran it out of oil and busted the connecting rod… bob
  16. Somebody gave it to me not running haven’t got it apart, but it looks like it might be a couple of hundred bucks to get her going said it was not that old but it took a shit
  17. And genius, I took an old watts shirt and hung it on the garage wall on a clothes hanger lol your idea is better
  18. Well here we go it was all ready to start pulling this apart and now I decided I better get my broken generator fixed first lost power a couple of towns over a few days ago and I just said maybe I better just drop everything get that thing ready to go pretty much sucks to need it and not have it
  19. What truck doesn’t even look like it works shows only haha
  20. Ha ha I had to think about that a while and say to myself who the hell is he and then Don on me oh yeah maybe with a little make up or maybe you’re talking about comparing the conniving ha ha
  21. OK, just spotted this. That’s just hilarious. TJ Pretty much same thing here.
  22. You know it was a very long time ago. I wasn’t even driving trucks yet, but I’m pretty sure they used to use one of those on the brochure …I think it was actually a titan for New England tractor trailer training… bob
  23. Frankly I think half of congress was being paid off to let dumb numb run amuck
  24. Wow,, I don’t remember ever seeing that ad
