Popular Post j hancock Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2020 You can see the Detroit 671 under the hood of a 1969 IH Fleetstar 2000. Most of the engine is really in the cab. It is pretty clean which must mean it is out of oil... 2 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Love it! I have always liked these. Can’t imagine what it’s like riding along with the Cummins stuffed in the cab with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 l had one with a 6V92, 9 spd, and a 15" lift axle. Sure made a great freight peddling tractor. This one even looks like a 90" cab. .....Hippy 2 hours ago, carlotpilot said: heres another of those 2+2+2 arrangements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking there were two(?). l had the wide one because when l needed an exhaust pipe it had to be ordered. The elbow/pipe from under the cab to the vertical muffler was a bit longer than what was in stock. And when l replaced the mirror arms they were shorter than what they had. The one in the picture looks like what l had with the short arms. l was dealing with Liberty International in Manchester. .....Hippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 They also made a steel hauler cab. Or at least someone did. So maybe 3 versions? Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
