What were the production numbers on the Bison and General trucks?

I’ve fought for 2 afternoons trying a minimally evasive way to remove the leaking joint, now I’m ready to give up. Only way I see at this point is to remove the whole passenger side manifold to get it apart.

I think I’m going to try some exhaust putty and see if it works. I’m just afraid I’m going to end up with broken bolts and all the joints leaking, if I try to take it all off. Has anybody used the putty with decent results? I saw a YouTube video where a guy put a shop vac into the exhaust outlet when he applied the putty. Claimed it would suck the putty into the leak, makes sense to me.

I have a suggestion... try ramming some aluminum wire into the groove, tapping it in and around using a flat head screw driver. Could use copper too, but I think aluminum expands more than copper. Worth trying. In my experience, putty probably won't work.

Is that a 2 valve engine?

1962 for sure

What does that mean?

White steering wheel.... I have a weakness for those in an r-model cab.

You need an E9.

Looks like a sweet rig.. some new shoes and go to work... It'd new some valves/airlines to pull a trailer though, right? Is that lever on the floor a driveshaft brake?

Put some bananas in the differential... 😀

Ever since DPF became standard issue on new engines, I've heard nothing good about fuel economy, although I must admit, I meet relatively few new truck owners ... what are new New NEW trucks getting for fuel economy?

EPIC soundtrack 

America was something then

Now they'd chopper everything in...?

Imagine running dozer in that weather without a cab!!!!

I google mapped the location... it'd be a costly adventure to get that truck home... apparently the market for E9's, even those in Superliner 1's, is remaining hard.

i have no skill😧

Thanks... price for truck is 8k

Was it originally a cummins? or was it re powered?

Sure would hate to pay for steering tires on any of those bizarre trucks!

Great point!

What would a dual cut-out flat top crawl through Able body bunk be worth? It has complete interior and no real structural problems....

Friends down there tell me they are allowing livestock to die on the trailers.... reprehensible ...

                         That was the last bridge to cross and it was the oldest so the county had them span it.

What is a straw processing plant? And why would they need a boiler?

I ran a 3208 in an L8000 fuel peddler, used oil from new and 5 mpg... replaced with a 5.9 cummins @ 230hp in a FL70... what an improvement in every way imaginable 

That 10x6 is just plain weird looking. Just can't imagine what it'd feel like to run one. With those engine choices, and the pay-load, I'd think they'd be pretty slow movers.

Ray really treated me right bringing my water wagon home a few years ago when fuel prices were about $4.00 a gallon. He covered his costs of operation and just a little bit knowing I would treasure the truck, (which I do).

Nice white wheel...
