I am looking for internal engine parts. Pistons rings bearings gaskets. any info would be greatly appreciated

I dunno, we have only had the Anthem for a couple of years We tend to hang onto what we like in Australia a lot longer than most countries Is Australia and NewZealand the only countries to still have a COE Kenworth in the line up ? Even the Macks here a lot different than what I see in the U.S. Paul

I believe the picture is distorted. That’s really weird looking. I’m thinking it’s an Australian CH model.

The wide mirrors??? Do not know if it is an optical illusion, but that cab looks narrower than usual??? We need Aussie Paul to give us more details...

yep . see it, that and all the head lights, thing missing the front "bull bar".

at loss on these! not early Arute .

Suzio , still out there today ; much smaller numbers.

I'll wager a bet that's a Tilcon picture based on the mountain pile in background.

Looks like the steering wheel is on the right.

twin air pulling HD road train ; I agree with the Australia . those mirrors defiantly spread out

Hats off to You ;Navypoppop. as of so far You are the Senior advisor. that is unless someone has a B day making them over the 77mark.

Welcom to BMT...Wow what a truck and with full history from dealer to now.A rare masterpiece.Good luck with it and yes more pictures please.... Paul

on those VERY rare occasions I find myself at table with others. steak on menu ;I order medium/rare for the sake of others. one instance while in a group and ordering rare ; as I cut it the blood ran ! another poor soul who had ordered well done (and it was ), besides pushing his plate away , almost barfed at the table. LOL find it easier NOT to go out with others ; LOL

I pulled it back out, looks narrow Unless you have a part number, there appears to only be one available.

Neat Truck!!!!! With some TLC it will be a great work horse ute...

Just wondering if anyone would happen to know if the B model grille guards were listed separately on the truck's chassis build record, or were they part of the front bumper part number that's listed on it (if the truck came with a grille guard)? My truck's build record lists the front bumper and says it has the 2" extension, but there's no separate reference to a grille guard anywhere.

Welcome to BMT!! That is a great original survivor truck with a fantastic family history.. Please post us some more pictures.

Nice!! terry

A bit of trivia. You'll notice on the picture of the right side of the block before you painted it, another "fuel pump" mounting pad/opening that is covered by the generator mount. Early versions of this engine had either a gear drive generator on the left side (driven off the cam timing gear) or could be had with a Mag there also. Both precluded driving the fuel pump directly off the cam on that side. A pushrod was used across the block to the fuel pump mounted on the right side (behind where the generator is now). When the engine was designed, they used either of the two above ways to time the spark, so left no other provision for a distributor on the engine. When gear driven generators proved to be a problem, requiring timing to the engine when removed, and mag left no provision for battery charging. originally the oil pump drive was capped off at the upper end. It was near vertical and close into the block, so that left no room for mounting a distributor next to the block driven off the oil pump drive. The shaft had to be extended to above the valve cover to have enough room to mount the distributor, giving the BLD the distinctive high mount distributor. For a brief time in the early 50's when the block was re designed for full flow oil filter and the liners were removed so the displacement increased to 308 for the biggest engines, they added a pad near the oilpump drive gear on the cam and an opening to allow for "low mount" distributor at cam level. This was so the engine could be fitted in the low cab cabover trucks of the day. Conventional cab trucks still used the high mount distributor. I have only seen one with the low mount, and that was in pictures. When the block was re designed in the 50's the opening on the right side of the block was eliminated.

2800 FT pounds sweet! That said still Volvo trash! I have also said the engines are decent its the shit bolted to it that ruins it! vI notice they havent used up all there cab parts in auzz yet Paul ! New Volvo Cab for U guys soon ?

! Thats the narrow so you need to make sure you use the one you have (wide!!!! ) not the one shown! in the pic! If the engine lights that quick you got a flow issue not a check issue! That Said ! I would be scrutinising all he hoses and all the fittings I have seen rocks and or debris stuck in elbows leave no stone unturned before the Canon comes out you got the time and likly a lot less money!

I found a field rebuild kit for the starter, on EBAY. I offered $125.00, with tax and shipping it closed at $146.00. It should be at my house this week.
