If you run for long time on flat ground, does it over heat? The symptoms are similar to my VW diesel when I a bad head gasket. I tried all the remedies you mentioned but with no success. The coolant system gets a air bound from the gases. Let us know what you find.

$27. I just paid $12.97 each for a pair of brass screws in J.D. carb.

I would be interested in some free post hole seeds.

I still get pissed off easily about Vietnam. In my opinion, too many military decisions were made in D.C. by civilians sitting in an air conditioned office, wearing a suit and tie with their feet propped up on their desk. They did not have a clue what was actually going on and the conditions endured. We had enough air power to wipe them off the face of the earth.

In case you did not see or could not open the steam club attachment here are some details. 4014 is touring again and here are some of her stops. Maybe some of you will be lucky enough to see her. Display locations include: Oct. 2-3: Provo, Utah Oct. 7: Las Vegas, Nev. Oct. 10-11: Greater Los Angeles Area Oct. 18: Tucson, Ariz. Oct. 21-22: El Paso, Texas

In May on the way to Reno, my friend and I stopped in Cheyenne to try to see 4014 but it was in the steam shop which is in the middle of the Cheyenne rail yard. No access was available but we went to a near by park and took some pictures of 4004 which is on permanent display there. As you can see, it was a little damp that day. Some time since then I joined the U.P. Steam club and I recently got an update on the travels of 4014. It is attached. Union Pacific Steam Club Update No.docx

Bob, on the way to Reno my friend and I journeyed out of our way to go to the Nevada Railway Museum in Carson City. It is a nice museum with some neat old things.

I rode the J611 here in VA a few years ago. I forget where we went but it was pricey and I remember being in Manassas, VA. I found a picture and it says 2016. I think we rode to Front Royal and then returned to Manassas.

With the wipers above the windshield it is prior to 52/53. Is it a WC 26 or 28? It looks like a 26 to me. Where in Montana is it? That is sure a neat old truck. Thanks for posting.

Your best bet is to find a junked MH and get what you need. I could have probably gotten that for you up until a couple of years ago but the cab I had found has been scrapped. Good luck. Where are you?

Being in Montana I would expect a shop in winter is pretty much a necessity. Even if no heat but out of the wind will probably make a big difference. Good luck with the project.

Cam sold his several years ago. Gulley has one like it but I do not know if it is the one Cam had.

I volunteered in registration at a couple of shows and we were told that entry required proof of insurance and a fire extinguisher. People were moved to the side until they had proof. There were no ifs, ands or buts; no insurance-no entry.

The Classic White Truck Group is having their annual truck show (the Bash) at Jerry's place on Sept 21st. Bring out those nice trucks again.
