Well I had a 73 R model,,, and I think the heater looked like that one,,, or atleast the switch.. lol there’s not much there

I think this box started out as original, got butcherd up by someone to make it work. terry

Well I’m thinking around 160 but that includes packing it up and shipping out there … is this a project or are you using it???

The thing that would make that truck jump out from the rest at a truck show is the tip turbine aftercooler. I think it would have been fine with the triplex or just about any transmission given the loads he is going to pull. It will have a unique sound pulling, and there aren't all that many tip turbines on the road anymore, or those that know what they are. I think you'd have to look a long time to find another B with one. They were an interesting answer to a problem that went away, much more unique than low flow cooling, for the same problem.

Ya, the anticipation is really building up now. I just want it done!! 😆.

That's gonna be an entirely different truck between the engine transmission and power steering. (not sure why that's just sink'n in to me) You gotta be like a kid on December 23 about now.

I was rolling between 45-55 mph with those loads and enough axles and brakes. Takes a lot to move along at those speeds. Steam sterilizers from Chicago to Jackson Mo. Long, tall, wide and heavy.

Wow!!

What would you want for it?

i used to roll between 174-220,000 pounds with a 237 and mud stick DM 800 rolling 14-24 rubber on both truck and trailer. the truck and trailer alone were 87k and change, then add the D8K with full tank of fuel and a 14 foot "U" blade, and i was rolling rite shy of the 220K i was legal for with the "S" tags on the trailer. i was also 13' 11" on the blade, 1 inch off my 14 foot wide permits. when i had the D8's or 235 excavator on the trailer i never went over 25 MPH. it;s kinda hard stopping that much weight.

And Yes, it’s altogether complete unit

It came out of a 68 U model

I don’t know why not you have the same dashboard as I do

Thanks. Took some hard head beating to come up with that. So simple it took me a long time.... 😆. They don't swivel but no real need, I can just jerk it a bit and it will aim right out the door. The casters were a loaner from a friend so I didn't complain. I was telling him last week at lunch about what I was doing and he says " I have new set of them at the shop, I will go get them.

Do you think this would fit my truck since it is a wee bit different?

Holy cow, that's some nice work on the roll job.

They're within a quarter turn to the lower in an RTLO, but, the split is there, where it's not in an old 13. You'll see the difference a lot more with a faster rear axle. Then there was th first 18s. They had a little lower in the low side and only a tiny overgear. They were back in the late '80s and weren't around very long.

We're rollin now! Good enough to roll it out into the driveway so it can be lifted by friends crane. The plates sticking forward will hold chains going up to spreader bar and will get the chains ahead of the firewall. The front will have chains hooked to the front motor mount trunion using eyelets. Yea, it will be in the way of setting it down in the truck but will deal with jacking it up slightly and removing nuts and eyelets at that point. It's hard coming up with a way to hook onto anything up front. Besides using a strap around the crank/pulleys. I can't fudge it too much as it has to be able to be used the day the crane is here. Can't find out afterwards that I don't have a way to pick it up. I didn't want to have to remove anything off the motor like I did with pulling the 237.
