Wow! In this day and age do they have a rotator? How many of the "old" trucks are still active? To you guys who might follow this, as a kid, growing up in that part of Conn, my like minded pals and I would frequently drive to Wallingford to check out the Plunske fleet which was always parked in front of the building-always immaculate..this was like in the early 60's! Yes I am an old fart! Nice to see a business survive and keep their standards!

Check the vent for being plugged. terry

a really good site for all you need to know about that 55 is www.ford-trucks.com join, then scroll down to the 48to 46 trucks forum. a lot of really smart folks there.

I think that's the plan. The cab on the Ralph Smith truck (back of trailer) is too far gone, but the other one has a solid cab. I would have liked to restore one, but I want to do my Brockway next.

Maybe that is for a year then. I told the insurance man to insure it for $30,000. I said 25 at first and he sent me this- So I said let's put 30 on it then. I don't know that the truck is worth that much since it's not original, but I'm happy with that insurance price anyway.

I am with AAA I suppose I’ll have to be looking for that one of these days. Don’t really know where to start. I’m sure we’re paying a lot more here than most of you guys.

I believe that Hagerty gives a discount to ATHS members????

Yes, it's Hagerty. She said that was for a year, but I think it must be for how much more it added to the policy I already have, that I pay every 6 months. I have the GMC and the big green International that runs now insured with Hagerty.

Very Good!!!! This will make how many Superliners you and Kyle have working now???

Yeah, plus he did three years worth of work and a couple of weeks ha ha nice going Dean

Atro should be able to either get bushing or possibly whole torque arms : https://atrobushing.com/atro-torque-rod-finder P.S.their older catalog, had the bushing by dimension as well, their newer catalogs I find harder to use. I might have an old Atro cat on a hard drive, if I can find it I'll post it.

Are going to replace it with an Eaton or Mack 13 speed

beautiful superliner and very well done. 👌

air bag pedestal seems to be stright. I can get you more info in the A.M.

Its hard to say without some more info. The ADZ is the newer Neway series. Yours is the ARD series. Theres a few tell tell signs of what rating it is. Are the airbag pedestals angled or straight? What is the size of the nut that hold on the crossbeam bushings together? Are the front hangers angled or are they straight?

P stands for plus if its a non ccrs 487hp the 03s and up was 480

I’m going to try to polish those rear fenders some. They have some pretty good scratches on the rear where the lowboy gets into them on some of these Pigtrails around here. I’ve got some finishing touches to do before I start tearing down that Freedom.

They look better than the H I bought for parts , hopefully they will take 2 and make a nice one

For now we'll make the 10 speed work , but will definitely be hunting for a 13 speed core to rebuild.as of now it seems to be a very reliable truck, only thing is has asked for was a set of wheel seals , previous owner replaced both diffs with reman units and the front diff was about 2.5 gallons overfilled causing in my opinion excess pressure and blowing out seals.

According to the Boston Fire Historical Society website, she was first assigned to Engine 33 (67-68) when they still had a 2piece company, then went to E-49 (68-71), then became a spare, before being Engine 54. She was replaced, then went back into the spare pool, then scrapped in 1984.

can anyone tell me what Neway air suspension this is? Maybe the old style ADZ series? im currently trying to look up bushings and rear crossmember parts.

I'll keep people posted absolutely. it will be a long process

My B model pickup full insurance stated value of 10k is $135 a year with Grundy.

I am struggling big time finding part numbers
